| A very strong and talented squad, without a ball passed 99 out of 100 pindits would put their house on Leeds finishing top again.
Then it gets difficult, one of Wigan, Warrington, Saints and Hudds to finish second. Not sure how the Wigan coach will fit in, will the players respond ? I think it will come down to luck, luck with injuries and if I had to put money on it I would put Hudds to finish second.
Can I just add : many thanks for lending Drew to us for the last couple of years, what a fantastic player, when fit he would be first choice in any SL team. His ability to run a game, his passing, his vision, his ability to see an attacking option, his fantastic kicking game. For me the best import in the history of SL. A real pleasure to watch this man play the game

Drewy was certainly a star player. A Grand Finalist. He was also a Dally M award winner in 2001 (equivolent to the SL Dream Team). With hookers around like Buderus and Gower this was a real achievement.

| Quote FLYINGPROP="FLYINGPROP"And Gilmour is a Second Row but he didn't do bad at Saints as a Centre?,
Leroy is a Fullback but played well on the Wing, Jammer a Second Rower, Browny a Centre? Wild a Loose Forward, need i go on.
Don't think players fit the positions we would have thought anymore, Think Fa'alogo is more of a ball playing Prop/Second Rower rather than a Loose Forward.
As to previous quotes suprised that I left Faiumu out, don't rate him but that is purely my opinion, Fatz on the bench but on a par with Jammer (just wanna make sure he fully fit 1st) Lawrence on the bench as still learning and IMO Gilmour and one of the other 2 a slightly better option at the mo.
ATEOTD ours are just opinions and the man that matters is Nathan Brown in whom I have full trust, Think Drew will feature in his team, as last season lacked a clever tactical player with good short kicking game, something Drew posseses.'"
just abit surprised you would have two centres on the bench in a game? but like u say its nathan brown who has the say!

| Surprised at one or two not putting Robbo at SH. When he was partnered by Brown most of the season they worked very well together.
A lot of people do not notice what Robbo does, he can scoot well when there is a gap, good little kicks near opponents line, some good defence splitting passes, and does a fair bit of defence. A good little SH for me.

but nathan brown wants to play him as a hooker which is what was discussed at the end of last season and has also brought brad drew and grix in now
i dont think we were good enough in attack last season, this is why we have brought in players that are going to give us more options and more penetration out wide with gilmour and faalogo coming in to remedy the problem

| I dont think theres any place for Robinson or Faimu. Lunt will have a big season this year. And Aspinwall is no more a forward than I am a rhino.
I dont know why but I am not so confident this year. We have only lost Moore really and he wasnt veryeffective in the 2nd half of the season.

maybe because if you have followed fartown for a long time all your optimism is used up

Know what you are saying but my line of thinking was don't wanna fllod the bench with forwards, Fatz been known to play at S/O as well as , Lawrence on the wing as well as and Jammer can obviously play Second Row too.
We seem to have a few players that can play in a few positions, here's to a great season and some long overdue Silverware.
