Trying my best to not get too carried away right now but really thinking that this seasons team is overall better than the 2019 legends. Forward line was better then but in backs and halves we are massively improved.

Think Moose and Jones get in there. Need to get Taylor signed up if possible. The man is a machine every game.

This team has real flair. I'd back this one over 2019.

If results go our way and Dragons continue to falter we could well finish 4th and get a home draw.

If we continue to play the way were are doing then anything is possible. But as Rowley says best to take one game at a time.

I guess if you're going to be picking a best combined 17 then you need to probably include Sarge, King V & maybe Livett from the current squad (although appreciate his form has dropped off massively post injury). Is there anyone from 2019 worth considering who missed out through injury?
EDIT: Junior should probably be included as well.
Good luck picking a best 17 from that lot!😁
I'll have a think while I'm on the beach and stick my team up later.🏖️

Think I've had a brain freeze. Can't blame me after yesterday. Who was Walker in the 2019 squad?

Biggest dilemna was Hastings/Sneyd but just think that Jacko is the better overall player.

He is...BUT... would he compliment Croft as well as Sneyd does? There are gonna be numerous combinations to consider with this squad and I'd be tempted to have Jacko at 13 to keep Croft/Sneyd together. Interesting how all squads above are 2022 heavy in personnel so far, despite this team potentially not even making the top 6! |

Yes interesting SS
I think Lui Inu ( one of the best players I’ve seen) and Flanagan would get into anybodys team, it’s just that they were at end of their careers and of course todays set is more of a team, opposed to 5 sets of power and a kick in the Watto days
