One mans rubbish, is another mans Treasure.  

The below listed side put together with people who are coming off contract (optional included) for 2012.

I went for a side with a mix between youth and experience with players with special abilities in different positions. A few I want to highlight are first , Matt Ballin. I rate him as a hooker, he is underrated would definitely would be a household name if he didn’t have that pesky Cameron Smith above him on the pecking order for the Maroons.  I think the only 'must have' would be Tony Williams, one for his versatility and two for his impact on a footy game. Furthermore, some great finishes out wide, and impact of the bench to cover up for an in experienced and under-strengthed halves paring. With potential growth hoped for from youngsters, Dale Finucane, Darcu Lussick, Dean Whare and Sam Kasiano.
