[Fangs]

Enough bullshit its gameday.

Praying for zero major injuries. Weather looks perfect no rain.

I am only really interested in Luron Patea. None of the other reserves are a realistic chance (other than injuries) of making the side. He has a point of difference we need, even if only 5-10 minutes to wrestle momentum back if it has been lost.

Spencer did it and then we relied on Fish and Moses to get it back, but obviously Fish has moved on. I am really keen he could step into this role. We can't rely on Moses all the time, that is unfair to him.

Looking forward to see how Zac Clarke goes.

If he is resting Casey then it makes sense. Alamoti just need a few miles in the legs, centre or wing doesn't matter much. Gets a bit of match fitness for Milky so who plays where pretty much decides itself.

That was my initial thought.

I'm Baaaaaack for the 2026 season. Starting to feel slightly human since my surgery back in September. To be honest, it was NASTY.

Relieved to see that big ol Lindsay signed back on. I think probably he was seen as the better option rather than Smiley (Liam Henry) for a new deal.

Also pleased to see Cogger back too. He was a great 2nd string to Nathan a couple of years ago.

Also Kurt Falls is back, is that correct. It's frankly amazing how many blokes like this return to the fold.

I hope we play well tonight.

For mine the result doesnt matter,id like to get through with no injuries tonight.Broncos got touched up by hull kr.So if we are 1-17 we can win rd 1.

Luron has a big year ahead.

Also thinking about that extra bench spot. I'd prefer someone who can cover 9. I'd like to think the days of Cogger in the 9 are over with more bench spots available. He is in the halves or nowhere.

That would be Going/Lussick/Scott.

 

[betcats]

After the amount of misses in the forward pack we just released at the end of last year from the cup side i really hope one or two of the young forwards from the next crop can put some pressure of some of the bench spots this season. Not saying they should be locking down bench spots but we should have one or two playing well enough in cup to make Ivan think about it. A couple of them are 21 even 22, they arent all teens

 

[Fangs]

Nice try that.

Bula didn't look keen to tackle Brian. Don't blame him.

 

[Port Panther]

Better than well. He was killing it. Was a big part of our winning streak.

If injury strikes we've got a great option in Jenkins...or should I say Alamoti?

Makasini is bloody scary.

Edwards should just let him score to be honest. He'll get broke in half.

Last pass was very forward but that kid looks like a beast.

Smart from Tago to only put half his body into it then.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Some shocking efforts to tackle him to be honest

I'm deadset doing a Luke Walsh sidestep if Makasini runs at me.

 

[PennyPanthers81]

Take the first grade guys off now, no injuries please.

Especially in a trial game

 

[Michael Matral]

Alamoti..no argument about his place in the side

 

[Fangs]

Especially in a trial game

I'd bring back the shoulder charge in the NRL just to stop Makasini. Maybe after 3 or 4 consecutive shoulder charges he might get tired.

 

[Michael Matral]

Nathan is avoiding tackling so far
