Realistic team list round 1 2018
- Thread starter Tacky
- Start date
Naiqama is handy and a reasonable backup in a few positions. The problem is, he's not one of our two best centres and I think Corey Thompson is a better winger too.
If he was new to the club I think he misses out on firsts. He is an incumbent though, so the onus is probably on the others to displace him.
He tries his guts out but he's too limited in many aspects of his game and has little upside. Should be used as cover for injury and to keep the others honest imo.

This is what I think should happen and I think it will be one of the better backlines in the comp excluding our halves.

I always thought the purpose of a trial was to help the coach make up his mind. Its a way to try out some things.
That said i thought it pretty obvious Milne and Marsters were the preferred centre combination.
I wouldnt expect you to see the point of Gamble if you honestly think Naiqama is one of our best players.

With 1 trial to go the **players in bold are locked in for round 1** but heres the rest:
1\. **Lolohea**
2\. **Nofaluma**
3\. **Milne**
4\. **Masters**
5\. MWZ (got edge over Thompson with height)
6\. **Reynolds**
7\. **Brooks**
8\. **Packer**
9\. Mccillrick (until liddle can comeback, unless he is killing it)
10\. **Mataulino**
11\. McQueen
12\. **Taylor** **©**
13\. **Eisenhuth** (but don't know if he and Taylor will go vice versa)
14\. Aloiai
15\. Sue
16\. Rochow (really impressed me in the trial, he is also pretty massive)
17\. Twal
18\. Benji
19\. Lawrence (I really love the guy but i just don't see him good enough for the team, maybe the bench but not starting. He has always put effort in but needs to step it up a but)
20\. Grant
21\. JJ Felise

Could be Moylan wanting young Flanagan instead of that chump Townsend

At this point Thompson edges out MWZ
If Thompson has another good game this weekend against the sharks he will be in the second wing position
He may shift to fullback with Reynolds to Hooker and Tui to half as per the trial
IMO
Same goes for Gamble as a bolter for the bench utility
He looked very Dangerous close to the line on a number of occasions
He got a quick play the ball and we scored on that play
Also scored one himself

Wayde certainly can play he’s from Lithgow and I’ve seen him play before the Panthers are going to use him as NC replacement when he signs with the West’s Tigers.

Not sure why plenty of people are pushing for Reynolds to be slotted in at DH from time to time- from the reports of the Cowboys game his passing from DH seemed to be quite poor?
Also what is the go with Fonua's fitness with some suggesting he couldn't run out 80 minutes, not a great sign from a potential outside back. Very unprofessional if it isn't injury- related. Disappointing.

Its the way he warmed up before the game
Looked a bit lazy or tierd
If he can get his fitness up he will be a real asset
Reminds me of a bigger version of Matt Utai
Team List Tuesdays will be interesting again..

I still laugh when I remember the uproar on the forum because Sheens was always late with the team list.
