Round 1 Lineup

Latest (hearsay) on Macca stalemate:

Broncos insist they will not pay anything above the $150,000 they've given him the the last three months, leaving the Dragons short of $600,000 plus he's on this season. They will not offer Macca anything beyond this year. Meanwhile Anthony Griffin wants him to start this year and next.

Macca can't be feeling good about this.

He knew the situation though.

He was allowed to go to Newcastle last year to try and secure his future. It's up to his manager to get off his ass and actually do something now

Nothing stopping him from signing a contract for 2022

Lets hope they hold their ground and HookMerge take his full contract for 2021. Watching the Merge fans squirm at having the Hook/Macca combo deal is gonna be great.

Lucky he's got $600K a year to wipe his tears with.
 
Seeing reports that Tesi Niu looks to be training in centre and favourite to start there. Understand he is supposedly a very big tallent but is there any love out there for Copley to start in the centres?

Someone experienced who can hold his own at least and be solid in attack and defence. If Tesi performs so well in Q cup that he can't be left out of the squad then so be it and put him in the top squad.

I know guys like mead and Copley aren't world beaters but some of our youngers guys might really bennefit from some Q cup time early on to really get there confidence up and shake off last seasons blues then when they are absolutely bashing the door down bring them in.

Just thinking about it now, our trials are going to be massive this year, so many spots up for grabs. I can't think of a time when going into a trial so many positions could still be up for grabs. Not just for who wears what number but who actaully makes the top 17.
 
We have somehow made our team younger then last year.

Really? We've just picked up the following and all the players we've kept are a year older as well.

Asiata - 27
Macca - 31 in a few days
Mead - 32
Copley - 29

And everyone in the squad also got a year older. Far more experienced team then last year, it's just whether the experienced players are good enough to actually get in the first team and add to it

replacing Staggs with Niu, and Boyd with Isaako tho.
 
So are we only having one trial this year - vs Cowboys Feb 27? I can't find any info on playing the usual lower grade games.
