Yep, but ya gotta love the symbolism of Sheens putting all-backs on the 17-man bench. Outside the Square thinking.

Maybe its just a bit of a reward for top training or something, getting one of the top 17 jumpers for game 1

Yep, it might be a reward for effort - which I like. But I can't help but think that Sheens is playing mind games - the lack of leaks, the controlled media spin and the hint of throwing the ball around. I believe that he is sending us fans a message - the entertainers are back baby! 🕺🏉🤸♂️

I don't remember a year with so many new players that I actually want to watch play.

Anyone have extra interest in the dolphins trial compared to the others? I hope they dont have a bludger of a season.
They’re favourites for the spoon in all the betting.

I don't think the squad is terrible. A lot will ride on the halfback O'Sullivan

Nope. The side running out won’t be close to the side next week or round 1 for them.
they need to have a decent year(for the GAME) hopefully not at our expense

I must say that the quality of second stringers from other clubs that I watched (watched them all) who were trialing this weekend puts to shame most of what we put on the paddock on Thursday night game @ the Warriors.
And THAT is a concern and not so much our poor scoreline result. Couple that with our rubbish reserves result from the week before and Sheens and co. should be concerned.
We definitely have about a 1/3 of our top quad which can talk the talk but not walk the walk. Also our pathways reserve squad is very ordinary looking.
So hopefully we can turn that around.

Do you think they may not have taken the first trial seriously I had the same thought after watching the other games compared to ours , but waiting to see how the second one goes to see if this was an aberration

See this is the thing. The best teams all had a dig and their effort couldn’t be questioned at all. Regardless of the importance of the game the top sides show why they are the top sides. We on the other hand didn’t even show up aside from Stef really.
