Jack Williams was injured last year wasn’t he?
Yep, shoulder reco mid season. Strong defender and has decent leg speed. Would be a great cheap option for a lock or bench forward.

Good to see the Panthers giving Crichton some experience at fullback for us

Presumably Reynolds replaces Thommo or Reed at some point, it will be interesting to see how he copes defensively

Perfect match up to see the changes in attitude and defense structures, sharks throw plenty of attack at you.
Looking forward to this one!

I hope Waddell on the bench isn't a sign of things to come. I just don't get what coaches see in him that we don't. Don't they see his errors and lack of impact. He's f..king average at best. Gonna be spewing if we re-sign him too.

No impact at all off our bench by forwards for this weekend. Surely Pele offers heaps more. I really hope Pele makes the 17 for round 1. Love watching players like him bend and break the line
Waddel is the most useless forward playing nrl, I just think he trains really hard like Flanagan and that's the only reasons they keep persisting with him which is a piss poor reason if that's the only reason, he offers nothing at all

Let me make sure that I have this right...................................

You believe that CC and the rest of the Coaching Staff haven't watched any games live and/or video of Waddell playing last season. Didn't watch last weekend's trail game. Didn't review it minute by minute, on repeat, watching every players actions while they were on the field. Don't take any input whatsoever from the other players. That Gould doesn't let CC know his thoughts on how players are going.

You truly believe that they ONLY base their team selections on what happens at training.

FMD, you must have very low opinion of CC, the Coaching Staff and Gould.


Always a Bulldog

This is just NOT TRUE.
He's a top-class backrower and will look great in blue & gold in an undermanned Eels pack (ain't that true, Super Assistant Barrett)?
The Bulldogs don't deserve his talents anyway.

Call Gus. Set up the meeting with Brad. Get it done already.

Personally I thought Alamoti was very quiet last week, interested to see how he goes in between JAC and Kikau this week ..


Yeah me too, good to see some depth in the outside backs this year competition for spots that Blake Wilson was also solid on the wing imo.

For those who say trail games mean nothing don’t be fooled.
We played Cronulla last year in same trail last year and sucked and carried that into 2022.

Wasn't Barrett sacked? Or was that a dream?
The bench looks like something he would have picked.
I was looking forward to a bit more creativity or excitement with bench selections.
But I guess they're the experts. Rugby League is a very complex game after all.
And it's just a trial.

My only concern apart from our great Gun, is how will Karaz and Averillo handle the 2 powerfull Sharks centres.

They have to get in their faces, you can’t let those guys have room. See how they go but wouldn’t be surprised to see Skelton injected to offset any mismatch.
