Trial Game Newcastle Knights vs Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks

Industree Group Stadium, Central Coast

I wonder how many of the top 30 will get a go.

If history plays its part we'll blood a lot of players and mix it with a possible top 17.

What's your thoughts?

Will Brailey and Hastings get a run?

Anyone going?

I imagine Brailey desperately needs to get some K's in the legs, not to mention overcome some significant demons he no doubt must have at the moment. His career is at a crossroads ( or is that crossland ?)

Hope the poor bugger holds up and has zero more injuries for the rest of his career.

I am looking forward to the Gamble, Hastings, Cogger and Pryce combination mix and how it goes. We have so many options in the spine now. Long overdue.

Is Brailey fit?

 

[Dr Dr Gimedanews]

Is Brailey fit?

Surely he has to be ready to go. Hope so.

 

[Yosh]

Didn't see him the team list... Maybe I missed it?

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Brailey isn't named. A lot of top 17 aren't.

Brailey did his hamstring about a month ago. Don't think it was too severe but never announced by the club so not certain. If it was low grade he'd probably be back training already but no point risking it for a trial, especially someone with his history.

wow. I suppose hamstrings and most likely a few other issues after such a bad run with injuries and inactivity

Interesting that Tuala named at centre……maybe AOB is looking to play him at centre and gags on the wing?

Just trying to fit all 3 of the wing contenders in the side I reckon. Tuala was pretty good at centre at the back end of last year when he got the chance though. Did some really good things in the last round in particular.

 

[PhilGould]

I see that more as a sign that Jenkins is probably ahead of him to replace Dom

Toohey reckons he'll be OK for Round 1.

Toohey reckons he'll be OK for Round 1.

I’d be playing him off the bench, but that is me. 80 mins might be beyond him now at NRL level. Crossland is also insanely fit so that is another hurdle for Brailey.

Marzhew out replaced by Moceidreke. Ryan Rivett taken off the extended bench too, been rumoured he's off to the Super League imminently.

 

[Yosh]

Wonder if Brodie Jones will get a run in the NRL this year. It feels like it's over for him as a top 17 player now right?

 

[Tom155]

Mapa ko'ed first tackle of the game

Sheesh

 

[Yosh]

Oh my.... The lad can't catch a break...

 

[Yosh]

Our defense looks good. Handling not so much haha.
