Charity Shield 2025

Yk Rev with the extra size, centre is not a bad shout.

my bad I meant Lawson for ctr or fullback, I think we are not even scratching his ability yet.. hes running hard and catching his bombs..... but he can do a lot more than that.. the qn is how fast can he adapt and learn..

Sloan im not sure, I feel like he is in a state of flux.. but like if Gutho is injured tomorrow.. or even Kyle.. I think Sloan is our 1st grade fullback, so I do feel he should be working on that.. im a bit worried hes gonna end up not nailing either position.. but.. his time at wing will help him as a fullback... he will learn some things.

That’s nice from Ilias.

Has a good kicking game, defends in the middle with good effect too and takes the ball to the line. A lot to like about our new half recruit.

Most players were really good today but I just wanna add who really really impressed me today.

Finau
Holmes
Suli
Guler
Ryan Couchman

Anyone agree that Guler was outstanding. Such a workhorse!

Anyone agree that Guler was outstanding. Such a workhorse!

He’s a big body in the middle with good impact, and he worked hard laterally to make ground. Great signs.

And just like that, we're no longer favourites for the wooden spoon according to Sportsbet.

Faitala-Mariner?

Didn't see enough of RFM to be really blown away by him tbh. When he was on though, he did look good but nothing we haven't seen before

Had a great day out at Mudgee in the stinking heat. We played great. I was very unimpressed with the ground however all shops running out of water about 10 mins after kick-off, surely that’s some sort of safety issue. You also can’t park anywhere near the ground despite their being empty fields galore not easy walking 3km in the heat with small children.

The rollercoaster ride even in a trial is wild for us.
Over the moon for 35 minutes.
Pissed off for 25 minutes.
An awkward 5 minutes, then relief for 15 minutes.

I get a feeling the trial was a miniature snapshot of the entire season ahead of us.

We can now expect a little of everything, good and bad, from this playing group.

No matter what happens, you feel the excitement as there is a very obvious change in the air.

I thought Sloan showed good signs. So much stronger in the tough runs than in the past. I have a lot more faith that he can work as a winger now, even if competition is intense
