i'm going by where their clubs expect them to play, IE mcguire and Klemmer play alot of prop at club level and will still play like props but they do have the 13 on their backs

i've left out SST based on his injuried, would have atleast been 7th otherwise

1. Jason Taumolo
2. Sam Burgess
3. Trent Merrin
4. David Klemmer
5. Paul Gallen
6. Josh Mcguire
7. Jake Trbojevic
8. Dale Finucane
9. Beau Scott
10. Simon Mannering

Finucane ahead of Keptin Mannering?

i thought finucane was huge for the storm last year while mannering keeps moving more towards being nothing more then a very good tackle sponge

Mannering is also an excellent captain and has been at a high standard for a few seasons. Finucane, maybe half a season?

fair call ryno, but i guess alot of this is about who are you rating to have a better 2017, guys like finucane and jake trbo are still improving while guys like beau scott and mannering could be heading the other way, that being said, if the warriors as a team go better this year, i'm sure alot of their players will finish higher individually at seasons end

Mannering hasn't been captain for a year or two now I thought, and I think that he's also not really anything more at club level than Dallas Johnson and Micheal Luck were anymore. For what it's worth my list is:

1. Taumololo
2. Burgess
3. Gallen
4. Merrin
5. Trbovovic
6. Klemmer
7. Taupau (I don't know how that works with Trbovic in the list, but I always think of Taupau with 13 on his back)
8. Scott
9. McGuire
10. Finucane

This is also having a mind blank and assuming Frizell and Thompson are second rowers for the Dragons. I can't remember. Pretty sure Papalii plays second row as well (or is that Whitehead)???

Both Papa and Whitehead play 2nd row. Lock these days is shared between Bateman and Soli. Also correct on the other two IIRC.
