I think tony carrol would like a word.

Thats my feeling too. Let him learn fullback in q cup snd make the midtakes he needs to (i know hes been pretty good running at the back but he needs to show ball play too). Pick him at 18th man for round 1, and bring mam along too, or atleast have them run with the team at times before game day...

He reminds of that softball pitcher from the simpsons episode where burns keeps telling him to get rid of his side-burns.

I think we have to see the 3rd trial before making a call on the 6. That said it looks pretty good for walters but i havent seen him kick much. Id go with isaako for rnd 1 based on tonight but it really depends on whats happening at training. To me hethrington is the lock, carrigan to prop...

The way youve written it, makes you sound like liam neesan but ive got you more pegged in my mind as leslie neilsen. Either way im grabbing the popcorn.

Youre not wolfie in disguise are you?

Yeah i doubt he'll start the year as 5/8th but i would put money on him finishing the year as 1st choice. He just needs to show he can handle the pressure situations against strong competition, making the correct decisions. Both Kelly and Gamble have done so. He definitely is exciting though...

I realy liked what i saw of psriera. For me he went from a "possible" to a "likely" for round 1. He did everything right and looked dangerous every time. I know it was just an early trial but i reckon he deserves a good shot at least in 3rd trial if not round 1. I didnt see much of brenko lee...

After watching kelly in the all stars game in torn between our 5/8 options. Kelly was good against quality opposition and that 40/20 nearly turned it. Walters and mam were dynamic and gamble just looked like he was ready to be happily hated by every opposition player in the NRL (which is fine...

Wouldnt mind betting that big fijian gets a run at some stage this season. He looks like lumbers everywhere but was suprisingly quick for his size with the ball in hand, and he always put himself around the ball.

From what i have seen pereira has one wing spot, walters the utility (and pushing for hooker) and gamble the 5/8th. Isaako looks good at fullback but will probably miss out whilst pakura, ezra and paix look good prodpects but not yet ready. This prop aime should be signed up by someone quick...

Ive heard hes back training with his q cup side which may be wrong but if it isnt, hes probably facing an uphill task to get in.

With oates likely to miss out round 1, i think whoever plays centre will have to be pretty consistently good to keep the other blokes out. There are so many options for that backline. And even if all of those failed you could still push capewell into the centres and halve a strong replacement...

Then you have lachlin maranta who seemed to work damn hard and went no where.

Exactly. How many games with both turpin and macca did we get to tackle 5 and not have a 1st recirver to kick, or have them buggering around with some trick play, low percentage, in our own half. Even the best dummy half will start to doubt themselves (and im not say either were that). Milford...

Carrigan is priority. The others are "nice if you can" territory but i wont sweat it at this stage if they fizzle. We need quality from hooker but i think we might see improvement regardless if we have a half like reynolds taking the pressure off their shouldiers. I felt sorry for turpin, and...

Im not too worried about the draw. We have an easier 1st 8 rounds than last year. I think its pivotal to start the season with a bang or risk self-doubt creeping in, when you are coming from the bottom 8. We also have a few new players that will need time to adjust and some softer games at the...

I hate to say it but you need blokes like gamble (and tevita before him) to push the boundaries. Weve always had them but the key to their success has been learning when to rein it in (and for them it is a lesson learned). Its up to walters and gamble to find a way to best channel that kind of...

I dont know of a single health proffessional who wouldnt get themselves vaccinated but im sure there must a tiny few. The fact is if you want to be involved with rest of society you have to subject yourself and your family to some minimum requirements. Subjecting your children to good health...

I hope he does. I dont hate him and i wont judge him irredeemable (it seems to be somewhat out of character) but he has a long road ahead of him to try and rebuild what he just destroyed. Probably too long a road for us but for a team looking for some x factor down the road maybe?
