That was worth the wait

Guess that's the confirmation on Ava signing!

And Manu

I hope BBO gets a run outside flanigan

Doubt it, he will likely replace him at halfback

 

[Spoonman84]

I wonder if Dietz has been that good to get a contract and trial or the other hooking options have been that bad!

The other hooker options are that bad. I hope Dietz can show something so we don't have to play either of the other two tbh.

Its probably just to see if Dietz has anything at all they can work with.

I'm not expecting that much from him but it would be a nice surprise if he had a strong game. It's probably be his last shot at having any type of NRL career.

Whats the go with the train and trial contracts? When do they expire?

I'm pretty sure they last the whole season but aren't eligible for NRL until mid year.

 

[B-Train]

I'm sure they'll only get time in the 2nd half, but it will still be good to see Bailey-Odo, Schoupp and Deitz get a run.

if deitz kills it then that would make it interesting, do they make a space available for him?

on a dev contract so cant play till mid year anyway
but we do have a spot open.. hed have to kill it to be upgraded youd think?

Might be better waiting a few weeks to see what he does in reggies. If he’s bashing the door down then we don’t have much to lose but I think that’s unlikely.

i agree but it is a spot where we need something to happen

100% he would, we could also downgrade a player to development squad like we did with Harding.

1. Allan/Meaney
2. Katoa/Manu
3. Cotric/Lewis
4. Hoppa/Schoupp
5. DWZ/Casey
6. Wakeham
7. Flanagan/BBO
8. Hetherington/Stimson/Britt
9. Katoa/Deitz
10. Ogden/Atoni/Ava
11. Waddell/Doorey
12. Elliott/Topine
13. Jackson/Smith

Casey and Meaney potentially switch but I think this is where most player would lineup?

On The Rugby League Guru Podcast he seems to think that the speed of the game now will suit Dietz and will be our hooker in '22.
