If we dont win CC n Gus should be sacked. This is serious stuf.I hope our supporters are not taking these trials super seriously and throwing their toys out of the cot if we go down… same applies for a win, the old top 4 and gf bound excitement - it’s a trial…. It will be used as such.
My expectations here are effort plays, creativity, valuing defence and identifying potential when up against men. It pains me when 16yo posters sook after a trial, especially the first one! relax in advance, we will be ok.
I think that will be the first thing that CC puts his stamp on.I'm really looking forward to seeing our defensive structures , That's what will determine whether we'll make the top 8 or not. For years now our line speed and contact has been shit.
All depends on how many piggyback 6 agains and penalties the refs give the opposition.I'm really looking forward to seeing our defensive structures , That's what will determine whether we'll make the top 8 or not. For years now our line speed and contact has been shit.
It's not funny MenteekDefinitely has to play, if he doesn’t then I guess we’d be back to dean pay/baz days
If you sign Young then one of Alamoti, Xerri or Kiraz miss out. We don't need to sign a starting winger. We need 1-2 more middles then that's basically the team until kids come through.This trial team shows our lack of quality and depth at 1, 2 & 7. Perham, who we only recently found out was favourite to play fullback and has big ? over him, then Burns? All other options are probably too green. Avo should play there as we have better depth at centre. Then we look at wing, Casey is injured but hasn’t cemented himself as an NRL player yet anyway. The fact they had to pick Okunbor shows we’re still lacking quality wing options, hence me hoping they sign Young. Skelton is potential but not ready and I don’t think anyone in Reggies or Flegg are pushing for selection?
FFS it's Trial Game #1, which always means leave the gun/strike players out, rest those that need resting, let the back ups and the back ups to the back ups gain some experience, plus they get to show if they are worth picking in the future.This trial team shows our lack of quality and depth at 1, 2 & 7.

They rushed the decision based on potential. Not saying he won’t make it but at the moment he’s not showing enough for selection.If he is not rated why did they put him straight into top30?
They have massive wraps on but he is young and no need to rush him
Size was going to be a problem - good withthe ball but not sure whether he would cope with the defnce - Ryan Gray has been training with the squad again - seems odd that a top 30 would be rested this weekend after one game in six months..They rushed the decision based on potential.

The base line fitness is well established and they are in the training taper period, where the workload is gradually reduced leading up to the season start.Size was going to be a problem - good withthe ball but not sure whether he would cope with the defnce - Ryan Gray has been training with the squad again - seems odd that a top 30 would be rested this weekend after one game in six months..
He'll become like that other bloke from last year,Tyrone HardingThey rushed the decision based on potential. Not saying he won’t make it but at the moment he’s not showing enough for selection.
Think I'd rather Ciro put the actual bench out on the wingPretty safe to safe Knockonbor is only there because there are no other wingers on the bench?
