Team to face MELBOURNE Storm Round 1

[Lethal25]

I'm thinkng lui is in the plans too but I admit to not knowing much about him. Do you think he could cover edge forward if needed?

I recall seeing Lui in the back half of last season and I thought he went pretty well. He's probably not as big as you'd like but he runs hard and knows how to back up.

I'm hoping he's in the 17

[saintjeff]

Team named for trial v capras this sat .include mccrone , hutch Milne, fa fai, loa, marketo ,mccarthy, ikahihifo .looks like none of them will be there in r 1

 

[watatank]

Also Blake Lawrie and Jacob Host from the U20s

 

[coast_dragons]

Not surprised by anyone of the Dragins players named well maybe McCarthy.

Good to see Host and Lawrie named but not Sele which is interesting.

Also good to see Friz doing contact work at training.

Hits the ball up well. More of a middle player, prop/lock though. With Creagh on the bench we will always have an edge player though.

 

[BLM01]

I hoping Friz might be right for Round 1...hearing this very possible
I wonder why Wallace did not get a start on the bench in the QC game with Nona
And blokes like Dufty, Sele & Thompson from the youths

Team list for CQ on saturday.

No massive surprises there.

 

[coast_dragons]

Some players for the Cutters that is become unavailable in the pre-season due to work commitments but that changes through the regular season.

This could be why Wallace wasn't picked but not totally sure.

They still have to give the Cutters boys a trial to get them ready for their season also so they can't just ignore them.

 

[coast_dragons]

Kitty if fit will slot into the Cutters for rd 1 along with possibly Mata'Utia and if Friz is also selected (Crossing fingers) another forward will drop back.
