Good call although Briers wouldn't get a game imo
They'd look straight at his defensive frailties and say no chance, bit similar to Dobson.

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

On paper, play offs easily. Dark horses for the GF, too, I'd say.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

Get an effective defensive structure, which the squad buys into the work ethic. Add a little structure in attack and that team would more than hold it's own in the NRL.

Agreed. There are some poor defenders in the NRL, such as Benji Marshall, but they tend to be supremely gifted to make up for it.

Interesting Sally Cinammon you use South Sydney as a comparison of playing personnel. If you made a combined team out of their players and ours I believe it might look something like this:

1. Wesser
2. Hicks
3. Gleeson
4. Best
5. King
6. Wing
7. Sandow
8. Asotasi
9. Luke
10.Morley
11.Westwood
12.Fa'alogo
13.Sutton

OK, some of our players are good enough, but in the key positions of 1,6,7,9 and 13 I believe we seriously lack quality and would come somewhere between 11th and 16th in the NRL.

Monaghan would walk into first grade at Souths.

Maybe as a hooker interchanging with Isaac Luke, but no way would I have him at 7 over Chris Sandow last year's NRL rookie of the year.

For what its worth I reckon Souths will have a big season, top 4 material for me. I reckon looking at this season's NRL squads we are superior 'on paper' to Canberra, Newcastle, Penrith and maybe North Queensland.

Union is played by people who close airports after a bit of snow, League is played by people who would go and have a snowball fight with a 747

One of the worst.

Almost every team has a top drawer full back, the exceptions being Wests Tigers, Canberra, Penrith (although Lachlan Coote is a great prospect) and Parramatta.
