That trial team is interesting. I think Twal makes the top team and maybe Mikaele as well.

That starting team though must be pretty close to our best team with maybe some tweaks with injuries etc.

I like that backrow. Peachey can come on and replace Joe O. If he is killing it he can also move be used at prop. I think we are way too dependent on Stefano being a dominant prop week in and week out. We need some of our other middle forwards to step up.

I also think you have to run with Liddle and Simpkin because I can't see either of them going 80 minutes.

 

[Magpies Forever]

For crissake you lot. Back to footy please- WT have more than enough to bag them for at the moment, rather than each other here.

On the topic. I hope the season is better for us than early signs indicate. I dont think a top 8 spot awaits us, but not spoon material yet. I just want 1 better spot than 2021 and some more dead wood / underperformers gone at season end. Then of course they ave to be replaced by someone better - thats the issue isnt it?

 

[stryker]

He was head and shoulders our best player last year. If he is 100% fit and has even just 90% of the form he had last year he will be in the starting 13.

Nope Brooks was. Didn’t you hear?

 

[Tiger05]

Nope Brooks was. Didn’t you hear?

Brooks and Laurie were our best players but Brooks played more games than Doueihi and Laurie. If it was based on being the best player excluding injury it would have been Laurie or Douiehi.

Who holds the cup when we win the grand final?

The league equivalent of this stunning moment?

That was a re-enactment

Yes.

But three of them weren’t alive a week later.

It’s an interesting and progressive take.

I can live with it.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Probably the highlights will be :

* the communication between JtJ and Gildart in attack.

* Hastings and Brooksy as a preview. Good idea to start them early. Worth the price of admission alone.

* forget the numbers, I’d say the first batch of interchanges are the most likely to reflect the season favourites for the role, as it might approximate actual match conditions. Just a theory, let’s see.

* I sniff the Peach having a go at rake, although Liddle was starting to rally last year. Amazing pace and the second wind v Panthers at LO. It was a superb take and tactical run, ripping to shreds the entire smug side with only a couple of metres start. Young fit men and he showed them up.

Game might be rained out tbh. It’s been pissing down all week. If it is played, we can expect a very dangerous track for the players, so the game should be quite irregular and softer. I’m ok with that too.

Anyway, back to the war. Aljazeera good coverage.

War shouldn’t be televised

War shouldn’t be televised

I disagree, it brings home the horror and the futility of it.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Roosters have only named a half strength team. I know we’re missing a few and it’s only a trial but I really think it’s important to get a win here, even if it’s purely for the fans confidence. Cause right now I couldn’t have any less.

I’m still on the trial bandwagon and more interested in learning and some good play than than the actual result.

But if we get stomped on by a fair margin, It would mean we are in some difficulties and make for an anxious start to the season proper.

Although somewhat astonishingly, a thrashing by 50 v the storm might be seen as a promising sign at the moment.

Best to the boys though, I want them to play good footy.

 

[simmo05]

Yes.

But three of them weren’t alive a week later.

Yeah they were, they got sent to the us and a to sell war bonds

We definitely need a good showing. For both the fans & the team. That loss against the dogs in the last round meant we started the pre season on the back foot.

Not my understanding, but I’ll check it out.

It's half time, I thought the forwards showed a bit more energy, it was Tamou's best start to a game, I thought, though that tackle will hurt him at the judiciary?
Hastings and Brooks meh? Though early days.
The conditions wont allow he backs to do much unfortunately. I think Gildart is showing some promise, hope he can keep it going?

LOL @ Mick Ennis calling a trial a must win game for the Tigers
