That would be my team, but with Housten there instead of Ciraldo,

I dont see Ben Rogers making the best first side, If we signed him as a 1st grade regular that would be ridiculous, he isnt very good IMO. Purely a depth signing
 
Simpson needs to be on the bench. Too old and injury prone to be a starting player. He can provide experience and piece of mind when our first rotation happens.

Should be
1. Kurt Gidley
2. James McManus
3. Junior Sau
4. Wes Naiqama
5. Aku Uate
6. Rogers (is a superstar - will be great. Look at Rabbits success and finals last year - Who was in the 6.)
7. Mullen
8. Cross
9. De Gois
10. Wicks (needs to be a regular and have some purpose. Then he will be a superstar! Believe me!)
11. Housten
12. Paterson
13. Ciraldo

14. Hilder
15. Simpson
16. Tolar
17. Taia
