Our best side?

[LostDoggy]

This is my fully fit team for next year

B: Morris Lake Harbrow
HB: Hargrave Williams Gilbee
C: Griffen Boyd Ward
HF: Gia Murphy Everitt
F: Johnson Minson Higgins
R: Hudson Cooney Cross

Interchange: Hill Addison Picken Grant
Emergencies: Reid O'Keefe Hahn

I had Eagleton and Aker retired but if they play on both start of the bench

Looks like a 2009 team, unless we win it this year somethings have to change.....i would hope that some of the kids come on over the summer
ie Stack, Oka, Ace and Roughy

The thread is about our best team for the finals. I would have Aker and Hahn in, Grant and Addison out.

No Barry Hall?

I'll have a crack

B: Morris Lake Harbrow
HB: Gilbee Williams Hargrave
C: Hill Boyd Cross
HF: Gia Murphy Johnson
F: Aker Welsh Higgins
R: Hudson Cooney Griffen
Int: Minson, Hahn, Eagleton, Picken, Ward

If push came to shove and all these players were available at any one given time (which will never happen!) at this stage I would probably be looking at dropping any one of Ward, Eagleton, Hahn or Hill depending on how I'm feeling on the day.

No Barry Hall?

No Ashley Hansuck?

Brilliant.

Int: Minson Ward Giansiracusa Picken

Picken should be used more in tagging role he was originally brought in for. He showed that he was capable of doing it, yet from what I've noticed he hasn't been applying strong tags as much in the past few weeks.

Gia is obviously of more value on the ground, but he generally starts off it.

Hudson is first ruck, Minson could start in the forward line but at the start of the game they like to hit up targets rather than bomb long.

Williams is included on nothing more than hope. He needs to be in our best 22, more than IS in our best 22. Does a few good things each game, but whether or not they are enough is debatable. He may need time to continue his improvement, but in a team pushing for a flag it must be asked whether giving him that time is appropriate. However, Williams being in the side against some teams is necessary purely for match-ups.

The combination of The Beard, Boyd, Cross and the Beard, Jr. is not necessarily our optimal centre bounce team, with Cross and Griffen interchangeable. However, for the opening bounce I think having Cross in there would be for the best.

Think that's all...

I think we were crying out for Williams last night, especially when Morris was really struggling.

[bulldogtragic]

I think add Cross and Griffen, and our side is almost 'best'. A fit and in form Williams would be great, but how mahy times have we actually seen this...

Thus for round 22 and hopefuly finals, we'll have our best side on the park.

I agree with you, but it most likely will be at the expense of Reid and Addison. Will we miss Reids hardness at the ball?I think so.
Also if Williams doesn't come up we will need Tiller.
So taking that into account
Cross in for Reid
Griffen in for Addison
Williams / Tiller in for ?? (Welsh?)
