I'm certainly not saying he's a spud, but at this stage I see him more of a fringe player than best 22.

Fair enough, I had him in mine, but that was assuming Mohr was still missing, I do think he is very close to in with a full squad, but probably just misses most weeks.
Williams is head and shoulders above Wilson

I think we can add Cam McCarthy to the list if today's performance was anything to go by. That goal he kicked from the boundary - wow.

Says a lot when our VC and former No. 1 draft pick Scully doesn't make some of the lists for next year's best 22.
Apparently we're going to look at some more mature players. A bit hard to pick a "best 22" when we don't have a clue who'll be on our list!
That said, here's what I'd like to see in terms of current Giants likely to take another step up in 2015.
Kennedy, Davis, Haynes
Hampton, Shaw, Plowman
Tomlinson, Whitfield, Coniglio
Smith, Cameron, Shiel
Palmer, Boyd, WHE
Mumford, Ward, Treloar
Int: Scully, Greene, Buntine, Kelly
Whiley is very unlucky.
Hampton was very rusty tonight. He needs to get his basics right before the razzle dazzle.

I'm thinking the mature age players will be cheap DFA style players or veterans.
Hunt was great for the 1 year and I'm sure enright would look good in orange

It is interesting to see the complete disappearance of Giles or a genuine second ruck from the best 22. I am expecting the Mumford with Boyd as backup option to continue in 2015.
Plowman has gone past Frost in terms of the third tall back and I expect will continue to do so. Haynes will play the second tall back whilst no Mohr which I assume will be most of the year.
Based on the likely improvement of Stewart and McCarthy, Tomlinson will be challenged to keep his spot as the year goes on I think.

We seem to have left him behind, which is a little bit sad.
There's no doubt the team is now developing at a rapid pace. Very interesting trade period on the way.
Think the back 6 is where it's at. The miss pick themselves and there seems a reasonable pecking order for the forwards
But the back 6 is where ppl will differ most IMO
For mine it's
Kennedy Davis buntine
Shaw Haynes plowman
I'd rather we didn't pick up a veteran for the one yr deal cos it's now kicking kids out who are starting to hit their straps

The way our backline held together yesterday was brilliant. They didn't buckle under pressure, which was great to see.
Heath Shaw was a fantastic pick-up for us last year. I hope we can find someone to replace Josh Hunt.
gee whiz giant

Our defence got away with it yesterday, and its obvious we need experienced backup. Poor ol Davis doesn't do it for me, he played from behind all day, mostly because his turning circle makes Ben Truck Rutten look twinkle toed, Mohr is good but injured, so if Frosty can't add 10kgs over summer while not losing his speed, we'll have to recruit.
Of the other defenders, rebounders, smalls, flankers, we have oodles of talent to develop. Could KJ be convinced to stay as CHB?

i couldnt disagree more. Davis has kept a number of key players quiet during his short career and mobile ones at that. He spent a fair but of time on Hawkins and did a job on Buddy round 1 who is super veratile. Davis will hopefully be a mainstay of that backline. If we recruit another backman we lose these young guys who are just hitting their straps and doing some really good things. They have shown they can match up already...its not like they get bullied under every high ball or are getting run off their feet by fitter players...My point is they can already compete and are only getting better

I would think buntine is the josh hunt replacement. Such smarts
Bunts has shown a bit, but he was led a merry dance by Stringer yesterday!

Obviously the pre season is a big factor but I'm finding it hard to disagree with this
Good point. Has proven himself a very capable tagger. Still uses the ball poorly IMO but he (much like Palmer I guess) is there to fill a role and he does that most weeks

I feel as though he and Plowman are competing for the same spot...

I don't see scully in your best 22 next season. Mohr is a loss. When is he due back? Could use a lock down small defender as well.
I'd play Tomlinson forward as a mobile, lead up guy. Great talent.

Scully provides a lot more than people realise. I think he is unfairly judged on his pay which is what it took to lure someone to play for us.
He is a 4 qtr gut runner in the Ben cousins mould

preseason plays a huge factor here. I think there will be hot competition for spots but thats a good thing. Im not convinced by ppl saying we need to attract a big name or a free agent. Id prefer that money was invested in retainin the gun talent we have. in a year or two that big name will push out other young talent if we arent careful. Back what we have i reckon...its more than good enough
Leon this morning on SEN on a range of issues including best 22
This.
If we want to hire some veteran to go around one last time, who we dont rely on to play 22 games but to provide stability and an experienced on-field voice in the NEAFL, thats one thing.
But spending money on big names ? No thank you, lets just win another 5 games over what we did this year with our existing list.
