General Your 2025 team

Interesting. No sign of Berry?

You know what Ive got to say about that. Him and Pompey are fighting for 1 spot. He's just not dynamic enough. But granted I want CNK at centre..

No it's the fact that's he's the only true halfback we have that has played there most of his playing career.

I don't think Martin is our 7. I think the club knows that, that's why they went and got Boyd.

We need to settle on a halves pairing and he's got more going for him than Martin i think.

Martin and Harris Tavita are back ups at best.

One other thing, if cames are close and it's field goal time, I trust Boyd the most.

When I look at his contribution in 2024, and that he’s a Kiwi international I can’t see how he’s not selected? 16 games, 5 tries, 16 try assists and 14 line break assists to go with a respectable 86% tackle efficiency. Mostly played halfback from round 11 onwards when looking at this and led the managed the team well in our best performances of the season, the exception being him at five eighth in an impressive win over rabbits. Looks to me like a player coming into his best years at 29 and seeing the game with vision and timing

Love TMM’s ball playing, but it really puts heat on the other half to have a good long kick game … could it be a combo that works with Boyd?

I don't think so. I think Metcalf is locked in at 6. I seriously don't think he is a 7. So for me it's between TMM and Boyd for 7. I think TMM deserves first crack at it given the way he played this season at 7 filling in and often with a makeshift team around him. A long kicking game didn't appear to be an issue in that run of games. I actually don't mind Boyd as a depth signing and he'll likely get a good number of games in the season but I think you will get a similar result as we did with SJ this year. Long kicks but limited attack and creativity.

My currently revised team for round 1

Walker
Clark
Prince
Lussick

High probablilty that could be the interchange Webby runs out with, but geez the Lussick pick always strikes me as a waste of a bench spot.......especially when you have Walker and Clark if Egan needs a 10 minute spell or so (yes i understand thats not their roles these days).

Then again that 4th bench spot generally under Webby gets very minimal game time anyway,

Yup, I think the majority agree that Egan needs a break during games but AW tends to not use Lussick enough to do that. I'm thinking of the season a little bit like Bathurst. You have to get through to the last stint and still have enough left to push on. 2023 I think we pushed all we could to get to the last stint and didn't have enough left. 2024 we tried to keep going with a busted car instead of taking the pitstop and using fresh tyres. Regardless of who starts round one, if Webster doesn't rotate players at key times in games and during the season then we are back to square one. Egan is one of those players that needs it IMO
