2025 Pre-season discussion. Training the house down.

[theshed]

This thought exercise my be seen as bad taste to some, but it would be fun to try and guess what team Wayne would pick from our current squad if everyone was fit and available.

1. Walsh
2. Cobbo
3. Staggs
4. Arthars
5. Hoeter
6. Mam
7. Reynolds
8. Haas
9. Smoothey
10. Carrigan
11. Hetherington
12. Riki
13. Hunt

14. Mozer
15. Jensen
16. Willison
17. Pikaura

At least swap Hunt and Heatherington

I doubt he would accept hunt - more likely Jensen or Willison starting and BTK on bench

 

[Broncapz]

Look out Welch just medically retired, Storm with another $600*k

 

[Gaz]

Yeah but Hunt was sposed to play left .
Now you want him to play right for a cpl of weeks then go back left . Might be easier for Jock to fill in for less disruption .
I didn`t think Jock played badly . Just didn`t have any influence . He ran a lot more last season . Last week he was just moving it wider . Didn`t make any mistakes in what I saw .

Thinking one of the reasons we bought Ben was as a cover for Adam. But then again left or right.

 

[davidp]

ultimately, with Ben as starting 5/8 or back up Half, we are in a better position than most other teams.

We have Reynolds and Hunt as Tier 1 halves (and Mam to come back) along with backups in Madden, Black, Rogers, Walters, this is ample - with our other Hookers around the traps who can also drop into the halves at a pinch, we do not need to worry about not enough play makers

As long as one of Reynolds or Hunt are available, we can place the others around as needed

I get the angst at Reynolds aging, but we have the ammunition moving forward

I bet it will increase more now

The Melbourne Storm were the most supported club? Boy I think the system for that finding needs to be checked. Most people in Victoria barely even know they exist. Its really the islander community down here that gives them a crowd and that community isn't anywhere near what it is in Qld.

Dobbo reporting that Mozer has an injured shoulder and set to miss opening of the year.

Indication they're opting to not undertake surgery and rehab instead

I wonder if that might put a stop to letting Smoothy explore his options.

For some reason I want a steak now.

 

[Super Freak]

If he needs surgery, that's his season potentially done.

 

[FACTHUNT]

"we don't expect him to be available for round 1"

NRL journos: "could miss the entire season" - wouldn't that only be the case if a full recon?

I have leftover steak from tonight's Dinner

They're saying could miss entire season if he requires surgery.

I hope they reschedule the fan day on Saturday here in Toowoomba. Rain and Thunderstorms
