does anyone expect any suprises rnd 1

[hindy111]

Just was wondering if anyone expects a suprise for round one beeing a player picked that know one expects or someone who has been training the house down and wil be slotted in at someone more experienced expense?
I dont think shacks will start in NRL after his lay off so im going to say Lassallo will get his spot on the bench

well it's a very difficult question given that we haven't had a trial yet however my surprise packet if i had to choose one is the selection of Loko in the centres and Billy Rogers coming off the bench, this is based on what I've heard about performance of those 2 on the training paddock.

 

[hindy111]

Billy Rogers? ive never heard him mentioned....I just hope Lasalo gets given a chance as i rate him!

 

[Stagger eel]

I've been told that he's been one of the best trainers in the squad and if you want to base your selection on that alone than he is a definite dark horse.

 

[Stagger eel]

he's also been considered unlucky not to play fg for melbourne last year..

 

[Twizzle]

need to have some trials first

 

[eels_fan]

Never heard of Rogers... Where'd he come from and what position does he play??

 

[PJ Marshal]

he's a ranga aint he so he could probably play any position on the park then

 

[Stagger eel]

he's a Queenslander who played a few seasons in Melbourne in the nYC and reserve grade, highly regarded by coaching staff and Melbourne fans and was considered unlucky not to play fg last year.

he's been compared to dallas Johnson with a better attacking game, a mate also saw him train the other day and was particularly impressed with his ball skills.

Feliti and Inu will have blinders, surprising us all.

I reckon Mateo and INU will have at least 3 or 4 mistakes in them each paving the way for an upset Parra win

Im expecting to see Mateo and INu cross for a hatrick each which all tries are set up by Malloney.

one quick question, given Reni isnt allowed to train with the team can he still go sit with the team on side lines or up in the coachs box? or does he have to pay for a ticket and sit in general addmission?

Hopefully no surprise selections because the NRL players are going too well.

That's a good question actually. As far as I was aware he's not allowed to have any official dealings with the side until his ban is up, so I'd assume the latter.

I agree with Stags about Loko but I don't know much about Billy Rogers so I can't comment on that. I'm hoping we do indeed see Anthony Mitchell off the bench (what many expect).

It will not surprise me if Tom Humble starts in the halves.

 

[Mickyd39]

No suprises for me.

I still think we will beat the Warriors in round 1.

So he should then help our membership numbers and buy one.

it depends on the terms of his suspension he might not be allowed to enter the stadium

I like you, Boxy. You`re a good man.

It would not surprise me if Daniel Mortimer goes really w .......... No, sorry, I can`t say it. :lol:


Just joking, just joking. Don`t take it seriously. Actually - to be honest - with him bulking up a bit and with a new set of coaches, it really wouldn`t surprise me if Mortimer ................... well, you know, goes a little bit better. Sort of. That`s the best I can do, Boxy.
