My point is simple(well at least I thought it was). You can't find a spot for Costigan in your team based on 2011 form. That's ok it's your opinion. However you name Snowden. Now this is where my opinion comes into play. Snowden has been well down his best form in 2011 and hasn't been a whole lot if any better than Costigan. I would like to be as sure of winning lotto that Costigan is in the starting line up next no matter what you or I think.
 
Ok for those who dont want Costigan in FRF id expect the side to look like....
1 Boyd 2 McManus 3 Sau 4 Tahu 5 Uate 6 Mullen 7 gidley 8 Snowden 9 Buderus 10 Tuimavave 11 Taia 12 Houston 13 Costigan 14 Hilder 15 Faaoso 16 Edwards 17 cuthbertson/Stig
 
1. Darius Boyd
2. James McManus
3. Junior Sau
4. Timana Tahu
5. Akuila Uate
6. Ryan Stig
7. Jarrod Mullen
8. Kade Snowden
9. Kurt Gidley (c)
10. Chris Houston
11. Neville Costigan
12. Zeb Taia
13. Matt Hilder

14. Danny Buderus
15. Joel Edwards
16. Richie Fa'aoso
17. Evarn Tuimavave

Really want Wes in there ... But I'm so keen on seeing how Tahu goes next year, the more I think about it. If Wes trains really hard in the off-season and looks like he's ahead of Tahu, then I'd like him instead. Feel sorry for the player who misses out though, but I guess they will get a fair amount of gametime throughout the year, knowing our luck with injuries ...

Have explained that.
 
Yeah in the games leading up to the Anzac Test, Snowden was easily the form prop of the world no doubt.

How do you look that far ahead?!?!

And Tinkler hasnt guaranteed him the Head Coach position in 5 years time...so...
 
Thanks james we got beat but so proud of the boys they handled the 2 monsters on the other team really well but they,re no 6 was the difference what a talent he is. As usual 12 against 15 thats why im so proud of them not once have we had more than 1 reserve all season and every team weve played has had 15 and we still made the grand final. But they were the better team in the final and all year in fact undefeated all year not a bad record. (same as the knights will get next year haha)
 
Well it sounds like a great season laney even though you didn't get the chocolates yesterday! Congrats and I expect to see you coaching in the NRL quite soon! :-)
 
Haha thanks mate they did well but this year im trainer the coach was richard and he did a fantastic job with these kids got them to play as a team and thats why they did so well .

And these are the players weve bought so far

14 of the 15 going are top 25 and if im right in thinking Mckinnon and Rochow will be nyc but even if im wrong thats 5 to replace 14 allthough teteavano now has a top 25 spot still leaves 8, 2 spots for Danny and a forward leaves 6 must be a few coming up from reserves and nyc I guess .....Am i right here or have i missed something . :think:
