Hoppa is playing fullback this season it seems

 

[dekepefc]

Theres the best indication yet that nothing will change for 2017....

No Brenko Lee?, You would think that Woolford would get a chance.

Hahaha fuck off. Klemmer still named at lock, nothing has changed.

Doubt it, 6pm Saturday night; PRIMETIME ...there's probably a live stream of paint drying that they'll televise for increased excitement.

Interesting side... can't read much from that of our lineup for 2017 though as he's just testing positions. Phillips and Holland in the centres... I know which holes I'm heading for as opposition coach.

BACKS: Hoppa, BMoz, Phillips, Holland, Montoya, Abbey
HALVES: Reynolds, Frawley, Keighran
HOOKERS: Lichaa, Garvey
PROPS: Tolman, Graham, Tualau, Fualalo
SECOND ROW: Jackson, Faitalan Mariner, Fine
LOCKS: Klemmer, Kasiano

I'd say he'll pick a back from this game, then run Lee and them in the second trial.

Hope Keighran has a good game... I don't mind him at all.

It is a joke. He released Finucane years ago and he still hasn't got a lock ffs. Nothing has changed.

Im trying hard to stay positive! Maybe the trials line up wont fully reflect the nrl line up

Klemmer should be in the frontrow, simple as that. I don't care that it is a trial, putting Klemmer at lock shows Des' intentions and that he hasn't changed. It is very hard to even be positive after seeing our 9s performance and then seeing this team list. 99% chance that our starting pack will look like this come round 1...
