Trials historically have never really been a good indicator of how a team is likely to perform during a season, particularly the first one where most teams play second string sides.

There were a few sides who would however have been disappointed with there performances.

Does anyone know who does the voice over for the video each year promoting the season?

Yeah I thought Spencer, but apparently I was wrong. Some guy on Instagram according to @Aliceinwonderland.
Anyway, It'll always be Spence to me when I watch it. (At least until he buggers off).
Never tear us apart.

It's not Spencer. It's a new zealand voice over bloke called. @nonzhere.

Three stats to fix: Panthers

There wasn't much the Panthers got wrong last year as they powered to a second-consecutive Telstra Premiership title, and it's scary to think Ivan Cleary's side could become even more efficient in 2023.

Lol Tigers. Ronnie Palmer is part of their re-build.

and our next half back.

Herewith another shot from the player catchment as part of my getting to know the area.


This is the Windsor Wolves bridge.

Very scenic and a nice place for me and tradies to bludge for an hour, avoiding work.

I expected to see more ducks.

Good on Ready for sticking his neck out and making a prediction.

Of course, ‘they won’t do it because it is hard’ is hardly the stuff of a rugby league genius…

This the same Brent Read that said Brisbane were a genuine tittle contender last year, and they would be one of the few teams to challenge us.

It is remarkable Jimmy Anderson is still playing test cricket at 40! Still bowling well and taking wickets.

He is older than me and fitter than me

Clarkey should have broken his arm when he had a chance.

Debuted in 2003. Amazing effort to still be around and bowling this well. Same to Broad. They will be a handful in the Ashes.

So will Archer if fit.

Don't mind the look of Harry Brook either.
Bazball resurgence continues.

Both teams have the bowling depth for 5 tests. We will see all of them feature. Archer is the scariest one for sure.

Need to go over there and watch some matches eventually. Merv Hughes still runs tours.
