Madge couldn’t confirm or deny Laurie will start at fullback in round 1 but did hint Mbye could play in the 14 role.

If Mbye hinders Simpkins development from the get go, I’ll bury my head in the sand before the season even starts.

Well I don’t see Mbye and Simpkin both being on our bench, so I would suspect Simpkin stays in reserve grade for now.

I was already of the opinion Simpkins was going to have to earn his spot through reserve grade. Maguire has given him praise but also said he will get his chance at some point. Some point being the key.

Mybe at 14 is whats best for us to start the season.

From there its best man standing come mid season.

We still are in need of a lock. Surely that has to be the priority now.

Make Moses earn his money and play as a ball playing 13 haha

It was reported that Madge stated that Joffa was brought here to be an 80 min lock?

Let's not forget that Simpkin has barely even played reserve grade... no need for him to be playing first grade from round 1 onwards.

I also thought that was pretty obvious.

He is the 13

Joffa Is a lock. He'll be starting there I reckon, few of the players have mentioned that he's got an impressive motor.

Interesting, don’t see it myself it but then I’m a nuffie.

Who is going to kick goals against Canberra ? Assuming we can score some tries of course.

Or move Luci to lock and sign a dynamic edge second rower

I think Mbye will start R1 at FB and it will be his to lose.

This. Luchs ball playing skills too good to be confined to an edge. Played in the halves at school.

Might not be an 80 minute lock but could get there

Has the hands for it, but IMO sticking him in the middle nullifies his assets of mobility and footwork

Joffa was unreal.innunder 20's back in the day. 80 minute player running 200-300 metres every week. He has the motor but last few years hasnt had the mental application. Hel be our lock. It will help with the prop rotation that way as well.

Why would you do that when you just went out into the market and signed a lock. Do you watch other teams or just our games?

Douehi?

Good question but I would think Adam is the man.

He won't be there round 1 he suspended so most likely Mbye kicking goals round 1. Maybe even madden although he might not play

Apparently we’re playing the roosters on the 20th of February, no live stream but free attendance for anyone that wants to go watch

Are we playing for the Cup ??

Lets bring the Cup home ....

It's an opposed session not a Trial..

Foundation Cup is played during the regular NRL season since about 2013..

That is a disgrace ...we should be able to grab it if we win the coin toss ......

I want some silverware

We might get some pearly whites to put on display if Blore or one of our other big boys smashes Tedesco
Now that would be something to smile about
Not Tedesco
He wouldn't be smiling because he wouldn't have any teeth
They could sit right next to Mattersons lights
On the top shelf
You know
With Packers signature on them
