(C)leary DCE (VC)
HTF Thompson
Turbo Miller TMM

Boyd, Loeiro, Doorey (or whoever gets that edge spot), Stone (?)

Alamoti, Talau, Sloan, Soni luke.

Egan
AFB Barnett
Curran XXX
Harris

Walker, Bunty Niukore/Ford/Sironen with one of them taking the second edge spot

*edit* Jazz back round 2 and will be in front of Niukore etc

Niukore is the front runner. Adrian (news from the club) saying he’ll start at edge and move into the middlle. Curran seems to be a bit on the outta for some reason.

Really not keen on Boyd in my 17 but maybe it's the smart option. Would be either him or Garner, and Garner looked pretty lost yesterday.

What a difference a week makes. Tigers for the spoon last week and top 8 this week! Trials really don’t mean a great deal but I’m glad the second trial was so much better with more 1st graders. The question is, have we peaked a bit early?

If Curran isn't an 80min Edge for us we might as well not turn up, he is literally our best player

Why is everyone so surprised Garner is not that good? I’m sure he’ll improve, but I wouldn’t be starting with him!

Anyone getting Stefano? Talau?

Didn’t he have some off field issue? Ford was probably in his position but has done very well indeed.

Depends how many points they scored in the trial

I’m so confused. I thought we were all getting rid of Tommy last week, now we’re bringing him back? Can Uto be trusted as my third mid? Not sure I have enough funds to put him in my reserves. Stefano over Boyd?

Friendly reminder that Angus was an absolute ANIMAL in last year's trials and we all remember how he started. Don't put too much stock in them.

There was about 2 players in common between 2 starting sides. Not suprising that Tigers played better when they named actual first graders

Where does the ferrari Ofa start for the tigers next week?

Cant complain about the effort in defence. I was having nightmares after last week

You beter lock in Junior Tupou then. He top scored with 59!

TPJ already trolling by dropping out of the team

Haven’t actually been burnt by him so I was kinda keen on him, role depending

I'm not surprised just thought he would be better than he was.

Belmore is packed.
