He may just be the game day reserve (7th man on bench) in case of HIAs. I can't see him replacing any of those 6 unless there is an injury prior to game day. Madden, Hope & Herbert are the specialists needed on the bench.

They'll line up Turuva at centre, Skelton on the wing. What great recognition for Tino Tavana, I am so pleased. It's interesting because he is on a Train & Trial contract so is ineligible until Round 11 so I wonder if there is an upgrade in the works this week.

Family! plus look closely 'Where's Wally cough Denny' ;)

NRL Physio on X indicated this type of shoulder injury would likely require surgery later on, likely off-season, if it can last that long.

It'll be Turuva at right centre, Skelton at right wing for a few reasons. 1 They had 65 mins of reps as that combo against the Cows (KPP - Doeuihi - Turuva - Skelton). 2 Turuva is a loud voice in defence and his comms with AD & KPP inside him will be crucial. 3 Turuva was signed by Richo &...

Yeah for sure and how good would it be to see Skelton cut Latrell in half. Don't think anyone has ever done it before!

It's rough but at least we'll get a gauge on who can step up at right centre. We'll see if Turuva can make it his own or if Herbert can prove solid depth.

I wish Benji has never said Taylan should be in Origin calculations this season in one of those pre-season videos lol

Like it! Focus our work out of yardage on our right side.

And then he'll probably be named and then withdrawn 24 hours out! lol

Do you think there is a world where Benji rotates his unused players from last round (Madden, Hope, Geyer) with similar type players as part of match fitness strategy? Possibly with Charlie Murray, Bunty Afoa and Heath Mason coming in.

Deininger (Brookes) will be an interesting proposition for the club moving forward. From what I've seen & heard, he is as committed to improving his game as they come. Not one to just rely on his natural talent but works bloody hard to improve. You mentioned taking on goal kicking but he also...
