Bloody hell!! For once I have looked at our list and seen potentially up to 10 players fighting for positions in the team.

I like your lineup ramps but the best thing is we could have 4 genuine starters on the bench for most of the season even taking injuries into account.

Look out for anyone who gets into a form slump. You might not be able to get back in the 22. The pressure is on!!

Looks good but I don't know about JON.

Good sides RR and Ramps. Mine's pretty similar. Sheesh this is tough  .

B:    Raines       Gaspar      J.Bowden
HB:  Newman      Polak       Johnson
C:   P.Bowden      Polo       Tambling
HF:  Pettifer     Richardson  Tivendale      
F:    Brown        Schulz        Kingsley
R:  Simmonds     Deledio       Foley      
Int: Pattison, Coughlan, Krakouer, White

Emerg: Tuck, Hyde, Meyer

Newman probably won't have much impact next year coming back from a broken leg so Meyer in for him.

For all Tivs faults our youngsters need to get the ball as often as Tivs does to force him out with their superior foot skills and decision making.

Generally agree, except would have Meyer in for White. And no way do I want to see Tiva's in the side next year.

Personally have a hunch that Connors will play a fair few games next year. Hopefully in place of Tiva

And no way do I want to see Tiva's in the side next year.

As far as a premiership side I agree bluey but to get there our youngsters need to bypass his level. At this stage given their youth and inexperience most haven't IMO. I think it's safe to say this with Tivs' biggest fan in Italy visiting his rellies lol.

Assuming a fully fit team

B : Newman Gaspar Thursfield
HB : Raines Schulz J Bowden
C: Deledio, Tuck, Polo
HF: Pettifer, Kingsley, Meyer
FF : Brown, Richo, Tambling
Foll : Simmonds, Sugar, Coughlan

Inter : Foley, Pattison, JON, Polak

Emg : P Bowden, Hyde, White

Left out, but expect to really press for selection (in no order) : Hall, Moore Casserley, Hartigan, Hughes, Riew, Edwards McGuane, Tiv, Krak, Knob, Jackson, Connors, Petersen, Collins


Think there will be a fair competition for positions this year, but depth is still a big issue.

Plenty to swap around too,  Schultz and Polak? Bookends at CHB and CHF?

Names in Bold - huge year for consolidating a place in the team
Names in Italics - depending on how many games at coburg, might be time to say goodbye.
