Few surprises In the team named

 

[DiegoNT]

1. Dave Tyrell named as starter. With him missing the last trial and starting this one it looks like he is in maguire's good graces.
2. Talaki over Goodwin in the centres. With inglis out, aj will slot back into one wing, with it seemingly between burns and Goodwin for the other spot. If burns puts on a blinder he may put real pressure on Bryson. Jennings is also on the bench
3. Turner starting seems to confirm as being rated ahead of rochow and Chricton.
4. There's 6 players with good Chance of making the bench with 4 spots available.

 

[alien]

so this is the team

1. Alex Johnston
2. Bryson Goodwin
3. Hymel Hunt
4. Siosifa Talakai
5. Braidon Burns
6. Cody Walker
7. Adam Reynolds
8. George Burgess
9. Robbie Farah
10. Dave Tyrrell
11. John Sutton
12. Kyle Turner
13. Sam Burgess (c)

Interchange:
14. Damien Cook
15. Jason Clark
16. Thomas Burgess
17. Zane Musgrove
18. Anthony Cherrington
19. Angus Crichton
20. Robert Jennings
21. Luke Kelly

 

[DiegoNT]

Didn't even notice initially, no Robbie Rochow

 

[alien]

I'm surprised GI, Rochow, and Fuimaono aren't playing.

 

[DiegoNT]

No need to play GI. Blew the cobwebs out in the all-stars, is experienced enough to slot straight in, has a packed year ahead

 

[rabbitohs95]

Fine with GI not playing but concerned/curious about the lack of Fuimaono and Rochow, hope they're not injured.

In saying that though we could see a repeat of the Campbelltown trial with more players added last minute, it's happened before and it'll probably happen again.

 

[southsport]

Davey Tyrrell!.........yea!!!

 

[DiegoNT]

Maybe Rochow was just not good enough. He made some real lazy efforts in simple tackles at the 9s and on the highlights for the trials I saw he made a really bad effort behind the ruck that lead to a try under the posts for manly

I think this is closer to the mark. I'd be surprised if he cracks a starting spot let alone bench.
Also I read on twitter it was Jamel hunt over hymel? A typo perhaps.
Bryson under pressure from both Burns and Jennings, and with burns starting it shows Madge is considering him seriously. If he has a big a game he may cement the centre spot. Which pushes Bryson to the wing to out perform Jennings....
I think chricton will push hard for turner and Suttons position.

Shadow will probably be here soon, posting about "the duds" who were selected.
