Well we are already testing our depths already…… doesn’t fill me with much confidence but we’ll see I suppose come Saturday.

???HUH. WHat is this thread LOL???

Explains Mbye’s well below average trial performance.
They say his knee injury is not major, fingers crossed.

Yep, it’s a tough start. However, someone elses injury or poor performance is anothers opportunity.

All Clubs have a few out…I guess that;s why you have a 30 man squad

It’s sad tho the callibre of players we have out…., plenty of first grade experience but I’ve just looked at Des’ dilemma. Should beat them still I reckon.

I’d rather have Corey Thompson replacing Mbye than Brendon Elliot replacing Trbojevic but that’s me

Yeah maybe Geo but I thought with Moses at 1 it takes off a bit of pressure off Marshall. Let’s be serious he needs a lot of help our benji.

I believe Benji will be fine in the early rounds. He showed last year in round 1 that he has the ability to manage a game.

I have doubts that he will be able to do it for 25 rounds but a good starter and Leichhardt should be good enough against a poor set of backs from Manly.

The forwards just need to produce a platform for Brooks to create some havoc.Looking forward to seeing Mikaele show his talent in first grade as he has a good motor and bends the line, if Aloaia gets his hands right then we could have two strong bench players with a couple of workers.

Mbye will be missed but I applaud the coach as he needs him fit for the year and a knee injury is better fixed now than carry it for the rest of the year.Cory will be keen to cement a spot so will bust a gut to stay in the 17.

Can’t wait until Saturday afternoon hope the weather prediction is wrong as we want it dry and fast.

Injuries are proving to be a real problem. They are not the bottom of our depth getting hurt, it is those that would be amongst first picked.

Exactly my point @Harvey

One positive is that it shows how hard madge is pushing the boys…

I think we can get Manly but the following week v Warriors might be a different story

@happy_tiger

MYBE, why the hell did he play against the warriors two weeks ago.
