Well then, out of that we should be able to draw conclusions to who is in First grade.

Thats still a good team.
 
I guess this makes it obvious what the NRL side will be. The only surprise seems that no Lovett?

Maybe a 18 man squad including Lovett.

Perhaps Lovett as 18th man. Not named in NSW cup
 
Not a bad looking lineup. Bench looks a little light but the backline looks pretty good. Decent centre combo with Lulia and Peni IMO. Would rather see Rowe and McDonnell swap positions.
 
Good to see Fine in the back row.

No use wasting time looking good in reserve grade at centre.

Swapped three dudes. Reckon it's a way better side. Don't get the Sita at 6 and Luani ahead of Cherry decisions at all.

That being said I am really happy that Inno has forced his way into the 17 somehow. He is just incredibly underrated. He's the sort of guy that would do a job in any grade. I don't put first grade beyond him but he's just so low key.
 
Guess the big winger we got from the Dogs (Sila), hasn't impressed the coaching staff! Think Balmain Boy will be happy with that!
 
Surprised Seve isn't named here… I guess we'll be easing him back into it through 20s. Be good to see him develop this year, hopefully his shoulder is sweet and he stays injury free!

He had a lot of strapping on during the Sharks (Newtown) trial. Could be injured…
 
strong team imo.
agree with all mentioned (in regards to Cherrington>Luani and Sita@ 6 = odd)
 
Re: Sita. In the interview Fletcher mentioned it was something Jason Taylor wanted to see. Look on his face gave away his confusion about it too. mIght head out on Saturday - Henson's a fun place to watch a game (even if it's pretty terrible to actually see the game). Keen to see Drinkwater, Peni and Cherrington.
