It must be our most anticipated rd 1 team announcement since 2000.

I can't wait for the footy to start.

Agreed. Has everyone on edge

Lets see what you say after 40 minutes haha.

Honestly dont know what to think. Like the forward pack except hooker. The 1-7 is very ordinary.

In previous years weve had a couple of out and out reserve graders. I don't think we'll have that this year when the team/positions settle down.
Trials mean absolutely nothing to me.

And we need a goal kicker.

[Nucky Thompson]

Its a hard choice to pick 17

[Clearyweareone]

1. Thompson
2. Nofa
3. Kev
4. Marsters
5. Fonua
6. Reynolds
7. Brooks
8. Packer
9. Godinet
10. Matulino
11. Aloia
12. Rochow
13. Eisenhuth

14. Gamble or Marshall
15. Twal
16. Grant
17. E Taylor

Marshall, Twal and Taylor have not played a trial game so would prefer JJ Felise and Lawrence are picked for Round 1

[NT Tiger]

Where is marshall?
I thought last week he was expecting a bub...long delivery?

Cut out pass into the first row

[Tiger Steve]

I’m liking the idea of Tui in the centres. Thompson played 2 decent trials and apparently was outstanding in preseason so he probably deserves fullback. But we need a game breaker and Tui provides so he needs to be there - centre maybe ok. I’d have:
1. Thompson
2. Nofa
3. Tui
4. Masters
5. Fonua

I’m not advocating change for 6 and 7 because there is no way Cleary will change Reynolds and Brooks so early in the season

To be honest - forwards had me stuffed. Too many similar players to choose from.

[Tweed Tiger]

1. Thompson
2. Nofa
3. Kev
4. Marsters

6. Reynolds
7. Brooks
8. Packer

10. Matulino
11. Aloia
12. Rochow
13. Eisenhuth

14. Gamble or Marshall
15. Twal
16. Grant
17. E Taylor

I hear you, that's why I have them all on the bench. I like JJ and think he will be in the team for the first injury and might be hard to leave out if he performs.

Team stats Games Try's
1 Thompson 35 15
2 Nofo 87 43
3 Masters 13 5
4 Kev 93 45
5 MWZ 14 6
6 Brooks 83 26

13 Taylor 141 22
14 Twal 9 0
15 Lawrence 208 76
16 Eisenhuth 11 0
17 Lolohea 65 21
Totals 1466 games 367 try's
Average try's per game 4.255
Lolohea kick average 73.1%
This equates to a total average of
29.46 points per game
Games and points are based on appearances not full games played
Some players in these stats came off the bench
Some older players may not score as frequently
Some younger players may score more frequently
E.g. Twal and Eisenhuth both currently with 0 try's
If we can keep our opposition under 5 try's per game and we play to our AVERAGES we can win more than we loose
They are the stats

[Cairnstigers]

Also of note
These are Nrl stats
Keep in mind that Thompson scored almost a try a game in England
Although in an inferior competition
