2026 NRL Trials

One thing that hasn’t been spoken about is our hooker depth. Smith and TDS fantastic if both fit, but if one goes down are we really considering Meni Luke for first grade?

I doubt it. We also have Papalii and Hopgood who can cover if needed. In fact they have done so in the past.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I reckon if one of them is injured then the other plays 60 odd minutes and either Joash, Walker or Hopgood fills in for 20

ffs

This is why I wouldn’t have mind keeping Hands in and around the squad just for depth.

I assume NSW cup will have Coinakis even though he isn't named anywhere this weekend.

More than likely this is the case but it's not an ideal scenario. Gives me Ray Stone vibes... and to be fair to BA that year Stone was 4th choice hooker not third like in this case.

I wonder if its in the back end of the year and we are out of contention would he move Pezet to a 9/14 role and blood Joash or Lorenzo at 6.

 

[Lemon Squash]

I don't think hands would want to hand around for that.

What happened to the other panfer hooker yates?

I'm pretty sure Yates has been at North Sydney for a couple of years.

He's an interesting one, I would have thought if they were planning on starting him in Cup he would of got an NRL pre-season. I think he might be set to start in Flegg unless he's been dealing with an injury or something.

Coinakis is in the majority of NRL pre season videos and photos, interesting to see where he makes his initial debut this pre season.

Of the Panfers Concede 50 they can't win the competition! It flows onto the NRL as well!!

V'landys changed that rule just for the teacher's pet Panthers.
