LecrasReplacing whom?
Darling / Kennedy?
Barrass / Gov ?
Lad needs to learn to pinch hit in the ruck
Lecras
Nope, it's pretty close to the team we played several times earlier in the year with JK, Darling, Waterman and Lycett. Only Allen is a much better player than Waterman.Can’t see us playing Kennedy/darling/Allen/Vardy in the same forward line
That’s old school “land of the giants”

Tank looked alright to me, I'd be surprised if he plays less than 10-12 games next year.Not sure he has the tank to run down to half back and lay tackles though
Get the feeling Allen/brander will be plugging gaps until JK retires
May be a spot down back though if Schofield goes by 2020 as well
Well Tim Kelly and Rory Lobb resolve that, i dont know if we have picks to get bothIt's going to be a powerful side. Just shore up the ruck division and maybe add another mid.
We'll make a mess of a few sides at the House of Pain.
had same thoughts...but playing on the fringe of a premiership side, in a top club, with a strong shot at deep finals footy over next few years, is far better than moving on perhaps?All of a sudden you start worrying about losing good players through lack of opportunity
also think he needs to lose some weight, too heavy-always looks like an injury waiting to happen!?Nah rush Nic 2019 Hes 28 years old turning 29 next year now or never
He played with class in a Grand final, has a medal now, is ageing, so not too bad being 2nd fiddle. Even our depth is quality!After Scofields finals I'd have him in the team.
I wonder what Ah Chee can achieve in 2019. Any chance he could break into the team?
Probably fighting Lecras, Allen, Venables for that last spot in the forward line. Doubt he could break into the midfield.
This...!The good thing is with so many young players, and the older guys who missed out there will be a huge hunger within the group to have a huge preseason and go Back to Back!
Will be interesting to see the training and preseason games, who emerges...Adding Kelly would make life even tougher for Ah Chee
That list, the potential, and depth is almost insane..imagine if we could keep a fit NN on the park, relatively uninjured for a season or two!B: Sheppard, Barrass, Cole
HB: Hurn, McGov, Duggan
C: Gaff, Redden, Kelly
HF: Allen, Darling, Rioli
F: Ryan, Kennedy, Cripps
R: Vardy, Shuey, Yeo
INT: Sheed, Jetta, Venables, Hickey/Roughead
Backline depth: Schofield, Watson, Nelson, Brander
Midfield depth: Hutchings, Ah Chee, Masten, Brayshaw, Petrucelle, Ainsworth, Rotham, Partington
Forward depth: Lecras, Waterman, Brander, J Cameron, M Allen
Ruck depth: naitanui who will take the new rucks recruit hopefully by the end of the year
Incredibly balanced 22 there, probably the most balanced eagles team there's ever been. Batting deep in terms of depth almost everywhere.
Definitely need to recruit a young ruck to develop along with the obvious stop gap til nic nat comes back.
Will recruit Cameron which will add a bit more depth to our small fwd stocks.
That list and depth is almost insane, and evolving of course...imagine if we could keep a fit NN on the park, relatively uninjured for a season or two!
park for
Probably also need to recruit a young KPD to develop as I can't see Brander playing defence long term, if at all unless through necessity.

He's a great athlete, an A-grade ruckman, but does he really need to be the human wrecking ball?
keep him leaping, lean and fast...
I can see next year as being similar to '18 with the push for younger players to get games. And a best 22-25 not seen until late year. Whose unlikely to crack a game at all?

that's what happened in his downtime, he really pushed himself..also when you're an athlete and you cant run you probably end up doing more weighs
