Moale played the first 65min I’m pretty sure. Bennett has really work on som of these boys fitness. KK almost unrecognisable with how much he has shed in body fat.

LeBlanc just tackles his butt off and quietly keeps toiling away in attack. A lot of focus on Fletcher development but I agree that Leblanc may have leap frogged him after today

As I have said many many times we need a #1 #6 #7 + #9 we are doomed and gloomed handy..
What we need is forwards mate Keppie, Moale, Keaon, Tallis all putrid Dodd was on a hiding to nothing. Early second half Jamie could do what he did as the forwards aimed up.

Pete was much better today one of our best.

As for Gee and Atkins we won’t win a game with them this year 6-0 penalty count not one penalty in 80mins. Say no more. Mamozoulos break in second half Humphreys was taken without the ball nope fair game nothing. Mind you I’m not shocked Brock Scheafer is head of refs now.

Mate, he claims we need a #7 when the #7 he wanted out of here just tore us a new one. He's like a baby with a toy. Tosses it out of the crib and cries for another.

From what I've seen this preseason, Mamo and Humphreys are going to be very good for us this year. Wayne will still want more depth at hooker though if Humphreys locks down the halfback spot.

When we get our full complement on the field, we will be very competitive.

Biggest weakness continues to be inability to defend wide shifts. Only answer is to get our top liners on the field at the same time and playing week in, week out with any luck. We're due some luck on the injury front down the track surely.

Trell is 6-8 weeks which means a return in rounds 4-6. AJ, Aitken and Campbell apparently are round 4. Tats anywhere from round 1-4? Cody, Arrow rounds 1-2?

Our best side when all are available after watching the preseason matches is

1 Mitchell
2 AJ
3 Wighton
4 Graham
5 Munro
6 Walker
7 Humphreys
8 Moale
9 Mamo
10 Tatola
11 Keaon
12 Aitken
13 Murray (Arrow/Duncan until late in the season)

14 Gray ( MUST, MUST, MUST be in the side)
15 Havili
16 Keppie
17 Duncan/Arrow

Round 1?
Gray, Myers, Wighton, Tass, Munro, Walker?, Humphreys, Moale, Mamo, Tatola?, Keaon, Le Blanc, Arrow?, Int Havili, Duncan, Keppie, Sullivan - Hubner, Shaq, Dodd, Host, Schuster?

I think Hubner will be in the 17

Both sides used the game for exercise. Murray’s loss is pretty bad, but Wayne will have something up his sleeve.

As for Latrell, he’s back to his usual status of being unavailable. Nothing to see there, the club probably plans for his absence anyway. Crazy not to.

Just a bad twist of fate Murray got the more serious, but I’m not sure about what anyone else thinks, he’s kind on the slippery slope compared to his days as being in the top 3 players in the game.

Jye is a prospect, he’s going to have cover his size and height in other ways.

The darkness hasn’t lifted since Solly bet on the wrong players instead of keeping Renno. You didn’t play to your respect for loyalty and integrity and the karma is killer.

sorry mate but what has that got to do with our lack of loyalty to Reyno?
Just realised you probably meant to quote my post about how well Ilias did. If so then I don't just think him scoring a try was the be all and end all. He had a very solid game all round. A long way from The Parrots belief that he is barely a Reserve Grade halfback.

We may have disagreed in the past, but you are bang on the money here.
Thanks and vice versa.

Id be thinking back in day, Rennos shoulder injury was being discussed in the dark corridors of Chalmers St and the club chieftains where taking advices from so-called medical staff. Quacks and fakers. Too scared to back him in case he broke down. Cowards.

And at the time, he’s one of the best players in the world.

And the next big things, 50/50 success rate.

He’s got a place in the books of one of the games greats. Plus he hung around during the harsh post gf seasons.

People forget he was one of the great young halves of the NRL.

And he wanted to stay for less than market price.

No worries mate. I like to think I'm pretty reasonable despite what some who I butt heads with in the political threads might say. Regarding Reyno, even if there were injury concerns he deserved some loyalty from us for all he had done for the club. We didn't show him that loyalty.
