Team for 2016 : Fri Aug 14, 2015 2:33 pm  

So, with our recruitment complete (albeit maybe a couple of 'outs' we are not yet informed about), what would you make our starting 17 out to be?

Shaul
Fonua
Talanoa
Tuimavave
Naughton/Lancaster/Michaels
Pryce
Sneyd
Ellis
Houghton
Taylor
Minichiello
Pritchard
Westerman

Washbrook
Watts
Manu
Thompson/Green

See Ellis and Pryce retiring , not be under cap other wise.
Remember when signed Ellis thought him and Manu would be great second -row, then let Manu go
Hope I am wrong

Pretty much the same

Shaul
Fonua
Talanoa
Tuimavave
Naughton/Lancaster/Michaels
Pryce
Sneyd
Ellis
Houghton
Taylor
Minichiello
Pritchard
Abdull

Watts
Manu
Westerman
Thompson/Green/Washbrook

I don't think Washbrook warrents utility place every match, just occationally as back up for Houghton on short turn arounds etc.

How much are the players earning?

Talanoa is no centre, why do people think he is one?

I still think it's his best position, not quick enough t good enough under the high ball. He can make breaks though, just needs backing up more and will score more try's.

I agree with Smiggs, he's another who can't put his winger away. I like the sound of Fonuabst centre.
