Fairly strong, concerning about the back row options.

Would prefer to see Kei and Pauga just dropped entirely but i guess that's unlikely for now
 
Hopefully they play better than they look like they just met each other..

Mounties are always a tough game..

Not having a preseason trial will hurt their chemistry but it's the same for all sides. Though some players have also played together in flegg. Mounties are always strong though

honestly, I didn't think Pauga was as bad as first thought in the trials. he'll be a good player for us in cup this year. agree with you on Kei though would much rather see Tupou or Ogden there.

Pauga's defense lets him down massively, he'd have to be the worst defender i've ever seen

his attack is ok tho

I actually thought he was ok defensively in the trials apart from the try Parker scored where he was barreled over. threw himself into a number of collisions and made a number of good reads. not a first grader by any stretch but he deserves the spot over Tupou for sure on trial form.

No he is that bad. His defence is crap. He's not young either, we have no need to take a punt on him when he have talented youngsters that could become decent first graders
 
Only seeing the updates on NSWRL website and it doesn't look good. Did Logen Dillon get hooked at 60 minute mark? Or injured?
