Test Eagles RLFC

Yea...man added.

 

Sam Rapira added. Gives us some good go forward off the bench.

 

It's clear why we are going to win this thing. Only 2 nswman.

 

Scott Bolton added. We'll probably consider starting with him and bringing Pritchard off the bench. Gives us a third backrower that makes decent metres and is very solid in defence.

Looking at those stats, I get the feeling that we're going to be an attacking side. A heap of blokes making a heap of metres but a bit of a worrying lack of workers in defence. Due to this, we'll probably be forced into starting Bolton over Pritchard just to give us some more defensive clout. We'll probably be looking to pick a defensive player with one of our last two picks.

On the positive side of things, we have 4 forwards averaging over 100m per game, along with 3 of our outside backs.

 

Brett Kearney added. Gives us a really good replacement should an injury strike our halves or K. The plan will be, pending Dean's approval, to use him off the bench with K moving to lock as per origin gameplan.

Brett Kearney's 2008 stats:
Appearances: 20, 10 tries, 12 line breaks, 4 line break assists, 92 tackle breaks, 122.6m per game.

 

Gav's an epic pick for this stage imo. Really under-rated.
