Remind us again why Kotoni is out. I've missed/forgotten that one.

Quad injury

Coby might get picked again next week... can't see Madge wanting to play Reynolds and/or Bhunt much at all.

Reynolds could miss the match altogether, but Bhunt might get some game time given the new combinations... if that's the case then it needs to be with Madden, because there's no point having Bhunt try to build new combos, but acting in the first receiver role at halfback when that will be Reynolds come round 1. Have the round 1 left side out there and feed them the ball to see how they go.

I think Billy may have jumped Rogers in the 5/8 depth chart, but expect him to get minutes at hooker instead of Smoothy... maybe the same split of minutes as this week 30/30/20 between Paix, Billy and Smoothy.

That would leave the question of how much game time they want to get into Rogers and Coby... but can see Coby getting minutes otherwise Madden is playing near the full game again... or maybe Billy is getting minutes at 7 to split with minutes at hooker.

Anyway team list Tuesday will give us the answers.

If they are saving Reynolds for round 1, I'd expect Hunt to start at 7 next week. I have no idea how much of the game he'll play there but he is obviously the back up 7.

He might be the backup 7 if Reynolds gets injured, but we know for sure that he will be the 6 for the first 9 weeks and playing on the left.

I'd prefer to see him playing the role we know he's currently playing for the first 9 rounds.... which is a second receiver on the left side and given a license to roam. Also being the second choice kicker, but likely to have a license for short kicks down the blindside.... and cross field kicks inside the 20m from the left side.

I don't think there is too much value running Bhunt at first receiver and primary kicker, etc. if that's not the role he's going to play anyway... if that ends up being needed we know he can play it anyway.

I reckon We've played Madden a lot to see if there is any buyers out and about for him.

When's he due back?

When's he due back?

Round 1, along with Haas and Reynolds but who knows, might even see them this weekend.

Seigwalt is another wild card in the halves. I wouldn't mind to see a bit more of him. He's older than I thought - 23.

I think he's on a T&T so that would mean he wouldn't be available for Rd 1

How good was it yesterday to see a team playing to a plan and executing it with precision? I like the up the middle plan, hard running and then spreading it inside the 30. I just wonder if our ‘glamour’ players can contain themselves and stick to the plan come the bright lights.

 

[heartly87]

Piakura started on the right, where I have always thought he has played better, and where I thought he should have changed to when our left side defence was an issue.

I wonder if he starting on the right is:
- indicating Maguire is look to start jack gos on the left
-maguire was giving him an opportunity to show what he could do on the right.

Hunt played well today. A bit more like that hosking role, happy to take regular hit ups, higher involvement and metres. If he can focus on just playing that role, he could be handy and Could make himself a 17 option.

I wonder what happened last preseason because he didn't look fit at all. Not sure if he came late or what., but he looked a completely different player yesterday. Could be a real surprise for us this year post a quality preseason.

And when BHunt starts missing tackles and letting tries in what will happen then ?

2024 24 games .
30 try assists .
84 missed tackles . 3 1/2 misses a game . . .

look out left side . It`s gonna get busy out there .

Yep don`t let your bias get in the way of your spin .
He`s the #2 half back in the squad should Reynolds not be able to play IMO. Which may well be the case in the early rounds .
Tomorrow we will know more .

Round 1, along with Haas and Reynolds but who knows, might even see them this weekend.

He should be over it by now .
Missed the Aussie team with injury . Quad usually 4 -6 weeks .

What bias? Madden is our back up halfback but he might be chasing more opportunity and we don't really have it.

After yesterday queue the stories of us priming too early. I bet the journos have about 10 stories prewritten about Madge going too hard to early and us burning out. Especially if we have success early in the season expect a story every win haha.
