And like we all say...get your drug induced opinions out of our forum

Benji was one of the best halves in the game last year. He has to get first shot at the 6 role. If he goes back to having shockers we have some options to replace him.

I like Walters at 9 but to me it leaves Momo out of the team.

I don’t get why Momo is so out of favour. He was our best towards the end of year

Would like to see him partner BJ in the centre’s or atleast on the wing.

if it was up to me, I’d say centre too. But we all know the glorified mbye will probably get that gig

will be very interesting to see the lineup for the NZ trial. Madge has said he is only taking 23 players so it will be a strong side and I’d imagine close to what he wants for round 1.

As you say Mbye will be in the 13 somewhere, where he is will have ramifications for a lot of players

I reckon his best position would be utility off the bench, but we all know Madge likes 4 big boopers there

Mbye is the odd man out coz Momo is streets ahead of Mbye as a centre & I fervently believe grub is streets ahead of Mbye as a bench utility & hooker.The prob is that Mbye is on overs & inexplicably he is co-captain which isn’t normally conducive to being dropped to cbury cup where he belongs.Undoubtedly Madge will make the correct decisions as he is more eager than the most ardent fans to have the team qualify for finals footy & he has the squad that allows him to drop the most overpaid player to the cbury cup.

I like him but I think Mbye is better. The question will be does Mbye play at 9 or even a utility role.

This must be an irrational hatred of Mbye. Reynolds has been so bad it's not funny and if you watched the trial he did the same dumb stuff again. Reynolds wouldn't be anywhere near our best option at 9 and if Benji or Brooks go down Madden deserves a chance way before Reynolds.

Mbye has been better than Momo and to me it's not close. It's laughable to even discuss Reynolds over Mbye.

I get we can all have different opinions but anyone watching Reynolds has to be extremely disappointed with his performances.

I just want you to point out where Mbye is “heaps better than Momo and it’s not even close”

cause funnily enough we played our best football last year when mbye wasnt in the side at all

agree on the Reynolds part but, he’s cooked

I think the deal with Mbye is that he has been playing grade for what six years and at two clubs, no coach has been able to find a position for him to own.

That says something.

Hes obviously a great trainer, or he wouldnt get picked, I just dont see where he owns a position either.

I don’t have an irrational hatred for the peaheart.I obviously believe he’s a shithouse player.I certainly don’t believe Grub is necessarily our best option at 9.This is a position which could b our Achilles heel although hopefully not & I don’t think Madge is settled yet re who our 9 will b for the saints game in Rd 1.

Re ur opinion on Reynolds & his disappointing performances the fact is he has been busted for the majority of time he has been at concord.I would rather us not have both him & Mbye on our books.However fully fit I’d much prefer an upbeat & tough bastard like grub over a timid & pathetic Mbye in my team.

If we had a team of nonentities like mbye we’d b a lay-down misere for the spoon whereas a team of Reynolds’s would b unflinching & super competitive week in week out.

Btw ur deadset kidding if u think that a kid like Madden who I believe has potential has leapfrogged Reynolds in the pecking order re the scrumbase options.

I think that’s fairly spot on. I have a sneaking suspension Lawrence night edge out either MCK or Leilua for a spot. That’s based off no info, just a hunch.

Either way those 17 will be going to NZ and my guess is joined by:

Jennings
Talau
Reynolds
Clarke
Lawrence
Taylor

So the following missing out:

McQueen
Seyfarth
McIntyre
Smith
Packer
Liddle

Very good team although I’m concerned about the 9 as he’s not tough enough or astute enough to play in such a critical position.Throw a fit Liddle or young Harry grant in at 9 & that team makes the 8 comfortably.

Good squad, though I would have Thompson at 1 and Doueihi at 2 and let him take the 1 from Thommo if he is good enough, but would not be surprised if it went your way.
Is Momo playing, he did get hurt in the 9,s ? If N/A, then, Mbye to centre & JR to 9

I like the squad but I think there will be 4 changes:
Reynolds to 9
Thompson to 1
Doueihi to 5
Mybe to 14
So Walters misses out - BUT that's round 1 only.

They still have to get through the 2nd trial.

Absolutely, I feel if we had a fit Liddle and/or Harry Grant we’d be fielding our strongest team in many years
