Yep, best of luck to them all - but Smith, Doorey, Guymer and Tuivaiti isn't striking fear into anyone about what happens at the 20min mark.

I guess it means that Cartwright, Moretti and Greig are really off the pace of what Ryles is after in his forwards this season, to not be on the injured list and not even get named in the first 22.

Well it strikes fear into me as a Parra supporter

Injuries and suspension aside, I picked nearly all of this 1-17 back in November



Oh and Pou, I guess Ryles did surprise.
We bought Williams as a middle as I have been saying since we signed him.
We don't know if he's first choice. There are certainly a lot of injuries. First choice means the 17 picked if everyone was available.

Is it possible at all for LU to call Will Penisini "Will" rather than Viliami this season? Will seems to be happily known as Will in all Eels material, team lists etc.
I'm sure it's possible for them to call him by his English name, just like it's possible for them to continue to call him by the name his parents chose for him. Whatever helps a white person feel more comfortable hey?

I think the first part explains the second part. I expect Williams will start on edge but may see time in middle depending how game goes.
Ideally he’s a middle, but it probably points to edge forward lacking depth that he’s also possibly our best edge
I reckon he's on the edge to look after Volkman.

We use to be able to do that when we thought our lower grades were good and there might be another Jason Bell or Danny Crnkovich on the way up.

Doorey has been training as a middle.
Maybe they train in different positions? Williams trialled as a middle, but he must have trained on the edge at least a bit if he's playing there this week. I'd say the players who can play multiple positions probably all have a go training in them.

Moses 4-8 weeks im hearing, might aswell blood Latu and Penisini early
You want to blood them in a good team rather than a bad team. You play a young guy in a bad team and what happens is what happened with that young fella who left to Penrith.
