Thank You to those Kenneler's that posted positive comments from my first post. Still struggling with my computer skills, but getting there.

I have not considered Tracey or Oloapu because of long term injuries.

1.Wilson. I don't know his height & weight, but he has played fullback previously & looks a rangy type. He has speed, & safe hands..
2 Addo-Carr. 88kg & speed.
3. Burton. 96kg. A very, very good centre, doubtful in the halves.
4 Crighton. 99kg. A great centre.
5 Kiraz. 92kg. Could be anything given time & experience.
6 Xerri. 99kg Was an above average centre 4 yrs ago. Has speed & size, so why not first crack at no.6, in the trials?
7. Taaffe. 85kg Has speed to burn. We know he can play fullback, but could he be a great halfback?

I would also like to see these players have a run together in the trials.
1. Papalii. Has impressed in games I've watched in NSW Cup & J.Flegg.
2 .Mazzone. Young tall & rangy. A very good finisher in lower grades, with speed to burn.
3 Skelton. 104kg. Centre or 2nd Row. Can't understand what is holding him back. Appears to be very talented.
4. Hutchinson. 97kg. I would think Mr. Reliable in a number of positions.
5. Samrani. Has had a lot of injuries. I'm not sure, but appears to have size & speed.
6. Perham 93kg. Could be elusive closer to the action.
7. Sexton 86 kg. Needs to take more control & direct the play.

Because of lack of information on players as per my first post, I have only put in what I can obtain from our site.
I have not included any of the young fellows recently signed because I don't know enough about them.
These are just my thoughts, like them or not that is fine. I feel we are building to something good in the next few years. all I have to do is live long enough to enjoy it.

Struggling with computer skills is the least of your problems..

The back-line will be
1. Crichton
2. JAC
3. Xerri
4. Tracey
5. Kiraz
6. Burton
7. Sexton

If Xerri isn't ready Kiraz centre, Wilson wing (only trial so I think he'll be ready, I also think he'll do enough to start round 1). Tracey will be good to go before trials according to Gus.

I'd go Hutchison over Sexton personally.

Love it.

Put a bloke at 6 who hasn’t played for over 4 years.

And who is an outside back that I am pretty sure has never kicked in general play during his nrl career.

Let’s put Sutton at 7.

What a combo

I’d love

Taafe
Wilson/Skelton
Kiraz
Critta
Fox

To have players like Xerri, Tracey and Wilson/Skelton fighting for spots. It’s good stuff. Competition for spots, and if there’s injuries there’s good depth. Exciting times.

There's no point predicting trial lineups as they'll likely start a Reserves team for the first trial and something closer to full strength for the last trial like most teams do.. I think this is our best backline for round 1 assuming Xerri looks good in the preseason, although he might need time in Reserves first..

1: Tracey
2: Kiraz (Wilson if Xerri needs more time)
3: Xerri (Kiraz if Xerri needs more time)
4: Crichton
5: Addo-Carr
6: Burton
7: Sexton

So Burton is definitely not a 5/8th but someone who’s NEVER played there and hasn’t played at all in 4 years might be?
That’s stupid even for you @Nasheed
Yo wassup yo I hear u holla @ me, what good?
