Awesome to see Politoni named while Robbie is recovering… Hope he has a blinder and enjoys!

 

[fainty]

verey very interesting…does this mean we now have the answers to who will play 1 and 7?!

 

[jas83]

Few interesting selections:

- James Tedesco at fullback. He must be a big chance come round 1 as long as he trials well.

- Tim Moltzen at halfback. This is what Sheens said he would do but if Tedesco doesnt go well in trials will Molzten go to fullback?

- No Jacob Miller in team. Is he in under 20's team. Will he get time in first grade trial?

- Surprised Benji and Blair are playing after playing in all stars. Thought they may get week off and play against Roosters. Bit risky playing Benji?

- No Farah or Lawrence. Will they trial against Roosters? Are they right for round one. We knew Lote wasnt playing.

- Aside from Lote, Lawrence and Farah this is pretty much team everyone expected expect maybe Tedesco at fullback

I hope Farah and Lawrence are right for round one.

Looks like Tom Humble is the new five minute bench man. I suspect that will be Reddy when Lawrence is back.

Why do I get the feeling that Utai will start the season on the wing?

 

[westTAHger]

team looks good.

as for the eels:
be wary of sandow and hayne, have someone up and in their face all night.

Because Lote is out until round 3?

:righton: We know we are pretty close to the season start, when the team gets named on Tuesday. I am very excited about what we can expect this season. :righton:

I think only hope Utai wont be on wing round one will be if Sheens moves Joel Reddy there when Lawrence is back

 

[LaT]

No word on Brown?

 

[bbtiger81]

I wonder if that's going to be the basic make up of our forward pack for the coming season?

I think that's pretty close to what we'll see round 1 with the obvious exceptions of Lote, Robbie and Rowdy. Interesting to see Humble jagged the utility spot on the bench too.

Very surprised to see the team named today. We usually get trial teams around Thursdays.

Very good team named. Great to see Politoni there

 

[Frazer4Wests]

IMO benji will NOT play.

Is name just to get the Crowd figures up.

Miller will come in for benji from under 20's.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Aware of that CB, Utai wouldn't be my pick to replace him, however.

He'll play… for all of 20-30 minutes, but he will play!
