Here is a team for 2014 that will scoot up the Super League ladder:



Anthony Minichiello



Kieran Dixon, Jerome Ropati, Dan Sarginson, Michael Robertson



Luke Dorn

Craig Gower



Tony Clubb

Chris Bailey, Mark Minichiello/Tom Symonds,

Antonio Kaufusi, Ben Fisher, Mark Bryant,

,

Interchange



Coach: Tim Sheens



Either Mark Minichiello (Gold Coast Titans) or Tom Symonds (Sydney Roosters) are likely to be let go by their respective clubs. Roosters have a surplus of quality backrowers with SBW, Luke O'Donnell, Boyd Cordner, Mitch Aubusson, Frank Paul Nu'uasala, Aiden Guerra in their squad.



Advantage of Symonds is that he can also play centre. Advantage of Mark Minichiello is that he and his brother may be more likely to come if both made an offer.



Minichiello brothers may already have Italian passports. If not can probably get them.

If Tim Sheens is hired, he will be in a good position to attract talent from Down Under, including not only senior players like Anthony Minichiello and Jerome Ropati, but also young raw (and still inexpensive) talent whom he can mentor in London.

London Broncos RL will cease to exist at the end of 2014.....after the club have moved to Millwall and the expected influx of fans hasn't happened, the clubs benefactor will walk away unable to fund them in his retirement whilst the CEO will join the board of MKK, a cricket uniform supplier that once had a sideline in RL gear. Young Dixon will be snapped up by the RFU and will go on to score the winning try in the RWC 2015 final across the road.



THE END!

If a Tim Sheens coached London Broncos team is successful in 2014 (which I define as "makes the playoffs"icon_wink.gif, I do not see why David Hughes will walk away.

Oi Supergrass. Tom Symonds is now at Manly.

David Hughes will bankroll the club up to 2014.....thereafter, he has gone on record as saying he can't afford to carry on once he has retired. If he does continue past 2014, it will be with a partner........1.5 million a year is an expensive hobby...especially when the hobby is rotting from the inside out.

John Monie used to call this exercise Fantasy Footy, as he got to choose a whole heap of players like Dymock etc and was then let go before he got the chance to work with them. Suggest if you want to prove what you all know as coaches that you enter the NRL Super Coach comp which is free and set up a fans league (max 20) on here so you can see which of you would cut the mustard as a coach yourself and have the bragging rights. Be an interesting exercise as there is a lot "I know best" on here.

Funny. Mr Nut. Like it.

Not enough overseas players, need to get more in.

of all the ludicrous threads ive seen on this forum, this one is up there

Your comment doesn't make a lot of sense. Of all the ludicrous comments I've seen on this thread, your comment is right up there.

If Minichiello falls through another option for 2014 -- if he is available -- is Newcastle Knights utility back Kevin Naiqama. He can play full back, wing and centre, and is one of the fastest men in the NRL. Based on the Newcastle team that played Wests Tigers, right now he is behind Darius Boyd, Akuila Uate, Dane Gagai, Anthony Quinn and James McManus in Wayne Bennet's selection of outside backs. Personally I rate him much higher than Anthony Quinn, who played a few hours ago in the centres. Kevin, who is only 23, would be a sensation in Super League if Newcastle would release him.
