Round 1 Team

[cochise]

I think Talau is a good chance of getting the 6 jersey, only due to experience though, think Madden might get eaten alive if he’s chosen by Canberra first up but we’ll see

edit - if mbyes out

I think that is unlikely

It just depends...Canberra will be a completely different proposition to that Manly trial. And Madden hasn’t played week to week footy in a couple years. I think they will target him constantly.

Keen for tomorrow 4pm!

Talau spent very little time at 5/8th and hasn't shown himself to be a good defender either.


And Ive seen one good pass form TT in all his time (last trial)

It was a nice pass though, Luciano really made it easy for him by drawing the winger in with a great decoy run.

That was my favourite play in the whole trial. Luc is a massive human, made a massive run to create the line break and still had the effort and smarts to follow the ball and create the overlap. That's the stuff coaches love to see

Mine too, effort on effort, when Brooks was tackled he actually ran past him on the right hand side, ran back behind him and around to the left hand side to draw the winger. That play showed me he is about to improve on last year and take his game to another level. Possible rep honours ahead.

that's what Grant did for us last year. THat's what the great players do. They're always there in attack and defense "just in case"

Hopefully people don't start saying Luc is 'overplaying his hand' now lol

This is crazy, I’m in my 60’s and probably more excited about the start of this year than anything else to date😂😂😂

It’s my 69th birthday on Sunday , hoping the Tigers give me a wonderful present with a win over the Raiders

Looks like the team is going to be:

1. Laurie
2. Nofoaluma
3. JTJ
4. BJ
5. AJ
6. Mbye
7. Brooks
8. Tamou
9. Liddle
10. Joe O
11. Garner
12. Luciano L
13. Twal

14. Simpkin
15. Stefano U
16. Thomas M
17. Seyfarth / Russel P

Agree think this will be the team named tomorrow,Seyfarth can slot into 2nd row,lock or the front row so can see him getting the nod over packer,Simpkins or cheekam.

Which one are you talking about. This is gonna be fun for the next couple years having no idea which one people are referring to.

Happy Birthday mate and hope all your wishes come true.

Sounds like Brooks will be VC and will captain when Tamou isn't there.

For those who can't remember
Simpkins ending with s for slow = big forward

Simpkin ending in n for not slow = smaller more mobile player

I see Talau getting the spot over Aj tbh. I don’t think madden is ready for first grade just yet, if mybe doesn’t play because of injury, I reckon we might see Talau at 6 and aj taking the wing spot. Brooks takes charge and let Talau run, he’s great at breaking tackles and he has some ball playing skills. Hope he can handle the defence that will come to him for 80mins tho

It's Team list Tuesday!!

Talau definitely won't be playing 6. He didn't trial there, he's barely trained there it just makes no sense. It'll be madden or Mbye, Talaus best opportunity for a spot is on the wing but AJ seems ahead of him at the moment

I hope so and about time.
