I forgot about him. He was good this year as well. Lots of good halfbacks at present. But evidently not enough to fill 17 teams.

Maybe Sloan can look at Gutherson as a good example. Tell him something like "train as hard and try as hard as he does and you will be a superstar."

But he has to beat out Tedesco and Mitchell. We know how terrible he was when picked in the centres for NSW. Dylan Edwards is better than Gutherson, IMO.
Mahony has to beat out Hunt and Grant. Matterson is a Parramatta interchange forward. Shaun Lane is a strong possibility. On form, he'd be the first second rower picked.

Agree about Sloan , but , the Parra guy is a very good fullback ..... But Respect as always other opinions .....

Don't these stats indicate, not including Hunt, Mahony is the 4th best hooker in the competition?

Melbourne probably control possession better than most other teams. How many missed tackles?

Will be hard to beat. Lots of depth as well.

Agree. I guess the best Australian side has some injuries but even so, Kiwis are very competitive.

There is no place for any you have mentioned. We have sufficient half backs it will be Cleary then DCE, if a catastrophe strikes Hunt but Hunt will be starting hooker rotating with Harry Grant Fullback will be Tedesco followed by Mitchell who will originally be selected in the centres with Holmes. 5/8 definitely Munster, followed by Wighton, Id take Burton on the plane. In the pack I feel RCG will be one prop, the other Jake Trbojevic, the Titans prop and cpt, Fa’asuamaleaui has played his way onto the plane so need 1 more prop. On form the backrowers should be Yeo, Murray and Crichton, I'd take Lane and Carrigan on the plane as well. Wingers Addo Carr and probably Coates. So you can't be taking Moses, Hynes or Gutherson too far down the pecking order in my view.

Personally I think Coats is overrated. In the Melbourne games I saw late in the season, Nofoluma was better than Coats. JAC and To'o will probably be wingers.

Is Payne Haas unavailable? If so, I guess Papali will be the other prop.
