What's the NSW cup team looking like when there's 33 named for the main game?

I reckon they'll drop some of those but still won't make it up.
Should have been the Women's team to debut in a trial imo.

That backline is dreadful

 

[Jono078]

That backline is dreadful

Great. Bulldogs 42-16.

 

[Burwood]

That backline is dreadful

Ripe for the picking! I expect Mann to take full advantage and to be instrumental in helping to get the ball out to our centres quickly.

O' Brien has given the coaching reigns to Kostjasyn for Monday's trial to prepare for if Adam has to isolate through the season

That’s a first!

 

[Jono078]

Why didn't he give it to Joey

Not a bad idea I guess..

 

[Yosh]

If we look crap against that lot, we got no hope this season.

If they don’t win the first 40mins…..we are in for a long year

expecting to run out the b-team in the 2nd half

 

[The Axe of Druss]

I couldn't give a flying f**k about the result tbh. I'd not expect max effort in a trial and risk injury for zero gain

I'd honestly be happy for our starters to not even be playing

 

[Loose Cannon]

Just want to see some cohesion.

I don’t get the coach swap. They need to know what to do regardless of any virus implications in the office.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Game day!! Bring on 7 o clock

 

[Jono078]

Yep I'm super excited! I think we're going to start on fire.

Knights 34-20

 

[Burwood]

Predictions for tonight:

- set plays to be clunky- decoys meant to be hitting holes will be taking out defenders, dropped balls etc.

- individual brilliance will get us over the line- Ponga and Best beating half the team from 40m+ out and Young running 70m+ down the sideline

- couple of barge over tries from props

- resolute defence until Reserve graders get a run.

Anyone got news on the Cup team?
Who is playing and how are they going?
