Enari Tuala could be a smokie with Linnett's pec injury. Probably be Bowen though.

I'm more worried about how they can pay Cronk, Tedesco, Chrichton, Cordner, SBW and not have to fill out the rest of the team on base contracts

Napa to Brisbane. Latrell to Souths. Uhh. Or. Uncle Nick’s brown paper bags and keep them all! ????

Maubbs to the centres of course!

Pretty hard to tell from that game when they were getting pumped, but I've gone cold again on Watson.

Anyone go to the Roosters game? How did Maubbs go?

does anyone know where to get stats from the trials? surely they are in one place somewhere

Id say the only game that will have stats somewhere online will be the charity shield.

Had another go at my team, any thoughts would be welcome.

Bromwich Lodge
NBrown Whitehead RFM
Townsend Cartwright
Leilua Taka
Tedesco Ponga Katoa

Cook Liu Griffin RFM

Croker Kennar Kikau Nicholls

Really happy with this team, mainly because of the depth (Katoa the main weak link in the 17). Think this balances out with having no obvious captain choice, but really happy with the bunch of players I've got. Would love to know any criticisms of some of the POD picks especially.

Not even that this year from what I have seen.

But the stat most people are after seems to be minutes played, which is probably the most useless stat from the trials

Only problem is if RFM is out you’ll need two emergencies

LMFAO

The other problem is, watching that game I feel as good and quick as he is, Katoa might catch cold on that right wing. But still thinking Katoa/Kennar could be in the 17 rotating depending on opposition

Did Eisenhuth return from his head knock yesterday? Or is he in doubt to start season now?

I watched that game. Pretty sure they said he won't be coming back and I don't remember seeing him. Still two weeks away though.

Thanks mate, he will be a gun if he gets the minutes and stays at lock

This is probably wrong:

If those 5 take up 4 million of cap (not including 3rd party) that leaves 5.4 million between 30 players.
If 13 rookies were on 100k that would leave 4.1 million between 12 players, so 342k each (not including tpp)

I guess you could see how they fit under the cap next year with an increased cap.

Yeah agreed. Although he did show a willingness to make a couple of dummy half runs with a couple of tackle breaks. Being outside duges doesnt fill you with a heap of confidence for a lot of tries though..

The first round I suggest Kennar may have more opportunities to score points against a leaky Warriors backline then Katoa
against the Cowboys.Liu and Griffin game time are a concern. Solid squad. Who is your Captain?
