TEAM LIST Trial 2 vs. Dragons

Team List
So NSW Cup side has not been announced but is playing a curtain raiser before the NRL game. Then the Jersey Flegg side is playing the day before vs Souths. Given the size of the bench for the NRL team and the fact that the Ball teams have been named with NRL contracted players on board where the bloody hell do we find the players for the KOE & Flegg teams?
 
a few new faces to make this trial a little more interesting for us at home, namely Olam, Galvin and Alaimalo.

hoping to see improved performances from Tupou and Staines if Benji is going to persist with them, because last week was not a strong showing. fingers crossed Sullivan and Sezer build again on their combo and To'a lays the foundations for a strong season.

additionally hoping for an improvement defensively from Kepaoa, a showing of intent from Matamua, a disciplined display from Sammy Fainu and more time at fullback for Heath Mason.
 
What's the story with Kepoa ,been here for a few years now. Not once has he had a great game .Loses the ball ,rushes up out of the line and when beaten he just stands there and watches . He's a nuffie who keeps getting picked .Cant understand this ? Check the video tape last 3 years ! What am I missing?

Staines and Tupou don’t excite me as wingers at all. Charlie is a lightweight who gets manhandled and lot. He is no good out of yardage. Jr plays like he couldn’t give a shit. Although a strong carrier of the ball, he can’t catch for his life and is a poor defender. I’d like to see one of them replaced by the Lobbster and the other as soon as someone else is ready.
Toa has had more than enough opportunities to impress. Far more than he has deserved. I’d like Naden over him with an eye to implement Faataape when he is ready.
Sullivan can stay for now but I remain unconvinced he is our answer at 6 this year. Fainu needs quick conversion.
AJ is not a backrower. Piss him off …out of the club if possible.
Galvin on the bench…no.

Hope not.
That backline is ordinary. AJ is ordinary as well. Galvin hasn’t earned his place.

Hey Tuck I have had many a great conversations with you over many topics while in this forum,I respect your input immensely...I would just like to say that we have ALL endured much heartbreak over the last decade and I just want all of us to leave Benji and his staff to try and get a competative team on the paddock...
He is there day in day out trying to make a name for himself as a coach and trying to get a half youthful and half very experienced team to gel and get winning results..Lets all give the coaching staff the opportunity to present us with a team we can be proud of,in whatever aspect or positions the players play,,,
God knows we know what its like to be losers,nows our chance to show some sembellance of being winners...cheers mate,,,

VERRY obvious to me that AJ has taken up golf and is playing weekly rounds with Richo. Otherwise, for the life of me I can't see how he merits a jersey week after week!

He is lucky to be a benchy if Bateman is fit. His versatility (2nd row, centres) is his strength, even though he is proving average in both positions.
 
Lots of AJ moaning but the reality is, with the depth of our squad, he is somewhere in the 17 because he can play centre, wing and 2nd row.

Have to wonder if Galvin has the inside running for the bench utility. Assuming Benjiman runs one.
