So, if the rumours that Robbie will play come to fruition, that would mean he'll move Morris to 5/8 and drop Moltzen and we're back where we started.

I wouldnt risk Farah at all. He should wait till round 1. We dont need him getting injured again.

And if Robbie does play ea then it will only be for 20 mins. If Robbie was to start then Moltzen should still start and Morris to bench and come on when Farahs time is up.

Anything with Morris and McDonnell out of the stating line-up gets my vote.

I'd like to see Moltzen at 5/8 and Benji at 1/2 though, I think Benji might be able to handle the 7 and it could solve our biggest problem.

I'd also have Gallant at Fullback.

I'm all for trying everyone anywhere in trials. You'll never find out if you don't give it a go.

I just think Gallant is the club's best Fullback.

Payten's injured, I thought?

Alien you'd need to rejig your pack if that be so... Gibbs to start, who would you promote to the bench?

I don't know...with the obvious inclusions (Payten, Farah), it's still looking like a pretty weak 'best' lineup.

The backline in particular is very weak, unless Benji fires at seven and Collis stays injury-free and plays to his potential.

Don't have an answer, and don't know much about any talent coming through but we won't want to get any injuries.

My 2 cents worth
1 Shannon Gallant

2 Taniela Tuiaki
3 Dene Collis
4 Chris Lawrence

5 Beau Ryan
6 Tim Moltzen
7 Benji Marshall
8 Bryce Gibbs
9 Dene Halatau

10 Keith Galloway

12 Chris Heighington

14 John Morris
15 Danny Galea
16 Daine Laurie

17 Rhys Hanbury


I’d be happy to let Marshall have another go at 7 although I must admit all of this talk “I’m still learning etc” doesn’t fill me with confidence for the season- I just do not think NRL games are the place to learn that type of skill- that should be in the lower grades. I’d totally flick McDonnell but if he’s got to be in the team at best it will be interchange. I’d rather Morris be leading the interchange squad, move Halatau to hooker and give Trimarchi a shot at lock. Definitely Gallant as #1 fullback.

How can that deadsh*t keep getting the nod for fullback.

Why don't we play Heighno at hooker. It makes as much sense as having Halatau suggested and both have less passing ability than Payten or Ellis.

thats why id rather have morris on the bench and halatau starting so its morris that moves to hooker if the starting hooker needs a brake.
