giving nothing away at all, which I like.

it does sound like Sezer is locked in at 7 though.

From ESPN article:

"John Bateman trained separately from the main group on Thursday but the English back-rower is expected to be fit to face Canberra in their round-two season opener"

Will be out for 1st trial at least but good 2 hear.

as long as he takes the field in trial 2 then that is a positive. it's imperative everyone gets time on the field to gel.

I think we'll see IP, Kepaoa, Sam Fainu, Tumeth & even Faagutu given minutes in trial 1.

I’m wondering where Alaimalo is up to in way of progress ?
Him being a tall, fast and athletic outside back who was dominant at times playing Super Rugby could become a genuine star for us once he gets used to the suttle changes that rugby league brings.

It’s very handy to have back rowers who can also play in the backs in case injuries happen throughout a game, probably the reason we are trying so hard to make Kepaoa work as a back rower.

Injuring his knee in Round 6 against the Parramatta Eels, Doueihi is set to miss the majority of the upcoming season and won't likely be able to return until the middle of the season.

Olam: "Then after that, my knee is still a little bit injured so get that right and then hopefully go out there and be the best I can be."

Yeah quite a few indications in different articles tell us he won't be there come Round 2. Hopefully not too much longer for him to be back to full strength.

Trials will be interesting to see who plays out at left centre.

I wonder if there is possibly a noisier place that WT could conduct these press conferences. Maybe we could hear none of the questions instead of only missing most of them 🤦🏻‍♀️

I alway's thought Cleary snr was voldemort

Not sure if this is definitive, but apparently a bald man wearing a black cape was seen driving a bus around Penrith just last week.

 

[Robbie's Love Child]

Loving seeing Benji's attitude, he is a winner and he will lead this club back to where it deserves to be.

I love seeing a bloke who's 'winning' career average is just over 50%
continually being called a winner....

It's that our 'winner' didn't get more wins in his time on the field here?

I like this quote about his coaching style in the Olam article …
“The 30-year-old [Olam] says with Benji it's all about keeping it simple, training hard and working hard for each other, seemingly mirroring the philosophy of Bellamy.”

The guy played to win ... hamstrung by his teammates more than not.
It's the winning attitude he's trying to get across to the entire team under his control now.

They all play to win mate...

Winning makes them 'Winners'
Winning every other week does not.
