Thoughts on CBird being pushed out by these gun kids coming through lads? Or is his role too important

Would have thought there would be more pressure on the older blokes rather than fellas like Bird.

Bird will stay on as the tagger/run-with-player when required

Might take a while to sort out the best 22 this year, which will be great for competition to get in the team

Thanks mate. Just something I've been thinking about lately when it comes to you boys. Questioning whether his role keeps him in the side or if these more talented kids overtake him

SydneyRox · January 23, 2015, 05:39:33 PM

I dont see the kids taking over for bird unless he starts to struggle. think a rotation policy around the 5-6 good young kids we have is more likely with some tactical resting for guys like goodes, richards etc

Shaw is one that might find himself in trouble as far as getting run over by the kids.

Capper · January 28, 2015, 03:32:27 PM

In saying that though, Bird has had the vest a couple of times but i dont expect him to get it this year unless he is coming back from injury. There are a lot of younger players that i would like to see in the vest ahead of bird. Big explosion players with speed to burn

Do you guys see Jones being top 21 because I am considering for my D6 in SuperCoach and I know he can play but will he be good enough to fit in the Sydney side and will he play that half back role?

He is pretty damn close, the team is still taking shape, especially at the back. He will get plenty of chances, i am not sure it will translate to massive fantasy scoring, having said that he is currently in my sc team as well.

he is in and out of my team. Rhyce shaw is the big question in the 21. Once he goes then the battle is on for his spot

Mailman the 2nd · February 12, 2015, 04:00:07 PM

I still think Jones is too close/basically on position 22 or 23. I dunno why but I'd be surprised if what happened to Ryan happens to Shaw as well.

SydneyRox · February 13, 2015, 01:30:02 PM

The thing that might hurt Shaw is just the serious number of players we have ready to try and rotate through that spot.

The other name that gets forgotten is Laidler. He was overlooked/dropped at the business end of the season, so his spot might be in jeopardy.

He was only there for depth and now that the kids have grwon up and performing i dont see him getting a go any time soon

They have left Mitchell out in favour of Lloyd.

Mr.Craig · March 26, 2015, 12:32:00 PM

How solid is Cunningham's position?
