Well it's a point of view but you seem to have conveniently missed out our big hitters Pauli Pauli, King and of course Fifita.
stats from last season
pauli pauli less metres & less tackles than millington, moors, mcmeeken,and watts
hirst less metres & less tackles than millington, moors, mcmeeken,and watts
and of course fatty fita less metres & less tackles than millington, moors, mcmeeken,and watts
suggests to me that millington, moors, mcmeeken,and watts would all walk into your team

I think our strength in depth is as good as it's ever been in the SL era. I must say I'm a little surprised to see that you've not strengthened this year especially with Gales injury.
FB Peter Mata'utia/Roberts(Injured?) v Jowitt/Hamps/Reynolds
A close one but I expect Jowitt to be the real deal this season.
Outside Backs. It's well documented that this is by far our strongest part of our game the speed and skill is as good any as team in SL and would probably grace any NRL team. The pundits consensus is no debate.
Half backs. With Gales injury I expect us to edge it although I think Mcshane was awesome last season, I hope we keep the ever impressive Hampshire/Miller combo.
Front Row. Show me any of the Cas front row that would get in our team with exception of Millington? Fifita the best prop in the league, Pauli Pauli got better every game. What impressed me is our shear strength in depth in this department we've added .
Back Row. Probably a score draw but with several players can transition from our deep squad-ed front row into back row should help us edge it.
Number 9. Wood/Randell v who? Surly Mcshane will move to the halfs. Milners filled out to a to back rower now so I'm struggling to see what specialists you have in this position.
It'll be interesting to hear what you guys think of our squad and how we match up. Looking to get some decent bets down this season for us finish above you.
Regards Raj.
No wonder you have been quiet you muppet.
Fifita best prop in sl LMAO at that. What you really meant was who of the wake front row would can have. Answer none.
Back row is that a p*ss take. Cas have the best in SL be far.
9 is a no brainer and no macca won't be at 7
The only area in which your better is centre and wing.
You might have a chance now we have lost Gale for the season

Anybody that wouldn't have Fifita doesn't know much about RL. There is a reason Powell tried signing him a year or two back! Kopczak will also prove to be a very good signing for Wakey given the reduced interchages, i'd have happily signed him. The rest on both sides are much of a muchness bar Watts who is excellent.

I'd take Johnstone, Fifita, and Tupou for definite as first choice players.
Miller for Roberts
And possibly Arona but it's close between him and Adz.

Some Polecat fans don’t half talk some Shyite.......
Raj Poot, it Appears your posts are about as good as the food from the two bob Indian you have taken your name from. It also looks like you are still ill from eating there, even though they shut years ago, because it is coming from both ends still. You must be spending a fortune on bog roll.

You have just shown yourself up massively. Fifita avaraged nearly 3 times that per game last season. But other than that, good argument.

As well as the reduction in interchanges the time limit on forming a scrum and taking drop outs should see a faster game with fewer rests for the "larger" player who already does few minutes.
cum on you Ford

I'm sure everyone has an opinion on who are the better team and whilst I wouldn't want to suggest Cas are in trouble, it's probably the best chance Wakey have of finishing above us and their fans should consider it a failure if they don't.

No way he did 60mins per game last year. I need to see it in writing before i believe that.
Even if he did i wouldnt have him.

Genuine question to the OP if as in your analysis you are better all over the park then why do you think you will only edge it against us this season?

I think he meant he did 60 minutes total in all the games he played against each opposition
