This looks very similar to a another thread... but much cleaner

Any way, Ngawini is not off contact he signed with the Gold Coast breakers Rugby team.

29. Solesi Birdie
30. Esi Tonga
31. Michael Gordon

??? when did we sign flash, or is it meant to be Kevin.

[Supergoose]

Apparently Jackson Nicolau has been signed - I read it in an article on this forum about Chris Walker.

[Supergoose]

Here is an article which has Jackson Nicolau as a signing. Here's hoping he can reach the potential which was talked about when he went to the Cowboys from Melbourne.

that'd be pretty close to what id have except I'd have

Campbell at 1 & Zillman at 6 - Campbell obviously prefers to avoid the front line defence if possible and I respect that. He'd done his time up front and if this preserves his body an extra season then so be it.

Also I'd definetly have that Kayne Lawton or what ever his name is as impact hooker instead of walker. Apart from that the core pack seams pretty straight forward I'd say.

yeah i think presto is better at the back in deffence, but id prefer him as a play maker with zillman roaming where he likes in attack

I think the real positive thing you can draw from the line up is that the titans have really solidified their forward pack right from 8 to 13. THere's clear cut standout players for each position in that section which is great to see.
