Okunbour has to be there and will Smith will be centre,Harper reserve grade
Will Smith? Will Martin Lawrence be his winger?Okunbour has to be there and will Smith will be centre,Harper reserve grade
That’s the side , wakeham nah ,From what I have heard JMK and Elliott may not be ready for R1 (especially JMK for long minutes), RFM defintely won't be, plus obviously Foran, although he is doing his usual recovery strategy of working on everything he possibly can to be back as fast as he can. My guesses;
01. DWZ
02. Smith
03. Hopoate
04. Harper
05. Meaney
06. Lewis
07. Cogger
08. Tolman
09. Katoa
10. Napa
11. Stimson
12. CHN
13. Jackson
14. Ogden
15. Britt
16. To'omaga
17. JMK or Wakeham
There's 2 trials to go, so very early days.

An aircraft carrier could turn and chaae faster than OkunborSomeone has too because we have people on here with no idear,the club has recruited sensationly with limited funds,they have built a competitive club for 2020 ,I just can't wait when we lose some which we will and the miners on here ,priceless
I tend to agree. People here saying he was Penriths 3/4th Choice hooker and towards the end of his tenure this was true. BUT previously and for 48 NRL games he was Penriths first or second choice hooker. 25 years old, plenty of experience. Looks tough with a well rounded game to me.Katoas recent form for Tonga was great. He got the forwards rolling through the middle and has good service. Even was putting in some well placed long kicks from hooker which is something which has been non existent for us. I'm backing him to have a big year for the blue and whites
It would have been nice if Pay had actually played Smith at left centre against the Broncos last year if this move was always in the works. At this stage I would rather have Averillo or Harper in the team than see Okunbor stink the team up againNot 100% no way, certainly. But the reports we have been getting show that Smith is training at left centre. The only way I see Holland there in Round 1 is if Smith is injured, or if Smith completely stuffs it up in the trials. If neither of those happen and Holland plays left centre round 1, there is a problem. The problem being that Smith who did a great job at right wing last season, gets shifted to a new and preferred position during off season, trains there, expresses a desire to play there, and then doesn't get it. That is a problem not just for Smith, that would be something other players would notice as well.
Also, Holland has had a decent spell, and he though he has ability, he wasn't cutting it. I don't really know what you do with Holland, he seems to be a dedicated determined sort of player, but he is just a bit lacking in a few things that are really needed in regular first graders.
I dunno mate, but if it’s anything like the Bennett/Seibold situation you’d have to think a solution were possible pre-2021 - and what I mean by that was the original denial that either would change clubs pre-2020. The biggest barrier I see is ability to fit JAC into our cap this year, let alone Melbourne being satisfied to let him go. Have to wait and see...Still hearing that the fox would b at the dogs in couple off weeks ..anyone ??
Not so concerned about fitting him in for a few reasons;I dunno mate, but if it’s anything like the Bennett/Seibold situation you’d have to think a solution were possible pre-2021 - and what I mean by that was the original denial that either would change clubs pre-2020.

The NRL knocked back the exchange of players because it puts Melbourne over the cap by ~$16k (which is really running your Cap close to the edge). If they move JAC on then they can afford (within their Cap) Momirovski.I don't see JAC leaving the storm this year.
They are trying to get Momirovski over for a reason, they are short on backs.
I think they've accepted he's leaving in 21 and that will give them time to find a replacement.
I wonder if his ankle injury comes into play too. We’ll have a mid season signing but let’s wait and see whoThe NRL knocked back the exchange of players because it puts Melbourne over the cap by ~$16k (which is really running your Cap close to the edge).

I can see him going to Souths unfortunately, if they can offload Gagai (he's only got a year to run) and Johnston is off contract next year as well. Hope I'm wrong on this one though.Jac has already stated he’s committed to the storm for 2020.
But hopefully 2021 we get him.
Jac and Thompson is a nice start to a rebuild along with the retention of Dwz hoppa jacko and smith
