Hmm well he can’t be used until Rnd 10 unless upgraded or Joey has a car accident. Also IF we are going to use a 14, little merkin Joash might have something to say about it.
If you had to name out best 17 players, joash might be in that .... but i dont know if he is a benchy in a game rotation.
Who plays dummy half? Hands the full 80? Joash? ... can he tackle in the middle? ..... if he doesnt play dummy half how does he get into the game?

He has a bit of an A.Milford vibe about him.
Long term who knows. If Dylan goes maybe he ends up in the halves?
I know at the Dogs apparently they felt he could potentially be a good dummy half off bench.

Full strength team named today, possibly with the exception of Simonssen, Hopgood and Lane who are still on the comeback from injury/surgery

No idea on what Ryles will do in the forwards for this weeks trial, but I think we will see first pick 1-7 as:
1. Iongi
2. Dunster*
3. Lomax
4. Wenisini
5. Russell*
6. Drown
7. Moses

*with neither getting anytime last week, they are most probably the current 1st string wingers of those that are fit and eligible.

Thought I saw somewhere that Drown was unavailable this week due to a family wedding in NZ and so that was why he got a run last week.... Or perhaps that was just bullshit... Guess we'll see at ~4pm....

His brother is getting married but I wasn't sure when. In that case:

6. Hawkins
7. Moses

They mentioned on the coverage he was going to a wedding in NZ this week, I wouldn’t think that would keep him away from our final trial. If it does clash - he should be missing the wedding - he’s just had 6 months of weekends off.

Surely JAC at least sees the first half out.

Its family and its a trial, no issues from me, its not round 1
His family should be more considerate of his job as I’m sure as most of the Polynesian boys do - he supports them financially.

any weekend in the last 6 months would not have clashed with a game.

no elite player would miss a game for that reason
