With the amount of size rfm has put on I’m adamant that he will pray prop or lock
Especially seeing as though kikau has a lock on that left edge (rfm preferred position).
Seem he's playing out on the right with TPJ at lock.

Few seemed to be carrying injuries . Topine, tpj, waddell, kikau, Hughes weren't training with main group on friday. Billy Tiskras and Jayden tanner (?) also injured. Add bbo.

Hughes, Casey and Billy are all questionable come round 1. Billy is all good but could possibly miss but Sam Hughes round 3 and Casey round 2 to return. BBO Round 20 or so

Best time to be injured is in pre season!

Flanagan looking really fit I heard
To be honest he has always been really fit and been up there in top 3 in fitness . I believe he will have a bit of improvement this year . Just don’t think he’s good enough for us to be a threat. Who knows what confidence can do when you win games .

Hard to pin point the line-up tbh because they're running 3 separate line-ups but the best bet would be..

Perham - Killing it at FB. Coaches love him, because he really puts in. big body, big talker, worried about motor.
Kiraz - Growing in spades, needs experience inside him.
Averillo - Softy needs to pull up, weakens that right edge. Reckon Casey would be first cat of the rank if not Burns.
Alamoti - Looks like he gets the nod, will run hard lines and used as a decoy more than anything I reckon.
JAC - What a signing. Has definitely put his stamp on the transformation of the club... Never a dull moment at training, rubbing off on the players.
Burton - Burto, shoot for the stars kiddo, Dally M awaits.
Flannagan - Bulked up. For some reason everybody gives it to him but.... FLANNAGAN! I think the kid is in for a solid year.
Pangai - on ice... taking it sneezy
Reed - Your gonna love him! Leader.
King - Steady as she goes.
Kikz - WOW.. watching this guy sprint the length of the field is like being at the races.
RFM - Right edge
Thommo - Looking very good, fit as a fiddle, ready to rip in, playing at first receiver?

Sutto - BFF with Thommo. Not as big as first thought but solid.
Waddell - This guy is super super fit.
Preston - Cant believe the roosters let him go.. Very impressive filling in for kikz at left edge.
Topine - Dont see why you wouldnt..

Franklin's motor is shot but he is trying hard and boys are pushing him hard.

Sprint coach is awesome, Strength and conditioning awesome

Forwards getting hammered with fitness

Backline is running play after play after play after play.

Dont like a forward a first receiver tbh. Can see the difference in speed when it happens...

As for Captain... None the wiser. From today it looked like JAC, Thommo and Reed were heads and shoulders above the rest.

From The training that iv seen and the junior trials the most obvious difference is the emphasis on talk in defence - its pshed and pushed from traners way beyond just reminding and encouraging to talk
