Most likely just that he will be the most experienced player in our nines team i guess. No chance they give him the club captaincy back imo

true

oh well, could be worse! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Norman to skipper strong Eels side - NRL.com

It sounds like we're sending a pretty full strength side over though.. Adam Blair, Darius Boyd, Alex Glenn, Sam Thaiday are all confirmed to be going.

Hunt & Milford are the only two ruled out so far. Our starting 9 will probably be something like -

1) Darius Boyd
2) Carlin Anderson
3) James Roberts
4) Kodi Nikorima
5) Sam Scarlett
6) Andrew McCullough
7) Alex Glenn
8) Sam Thaiday
9) Adam Blair

Sam scarlett?? That's pretty random. .

Sam scarlett?? That's pretty random. .

No it's not, we'll be sending 2-3 halves, Nikorima, Scarlett & Nicholls are the likely choices, I'm guessing Wayne probably opts for Nicholls & Nikorima, but I'd go with Scarlett, just to see what he's got.

Just meant it's purely a subjective choice of your own to want to see him. . So yes, a bit random. (You were saying we have an almost full strength side so this isn't an obvious choice)

1 boyd

Bennett will take a 20s playmaker for sure. He took jayden last year

You're planing on taking Kahu as your Five-Eighth and Nikorima as your Halfback with no other playmakers on the team and you're calling my selection random? I can guarantee you that Scarlett and/or Nicholls are in the squad.

id have thought a 20s player also - anyone in contention for 1st grade surely would be in line at the Cowboys trial???

so yeah 'random' seems appropriate

Well Milford will be at the Cowboys trial, which means we'll only need 1 half with him, could be anyone at this stage.

 

[Marty Deutschmann]

Nikorima will surely get the nod.

I think another half will go to the tournament, but not as a starter.

And i have boyd as the fullback/ 5/8th

 

[Marty Deutschmann]

Just announce FFS

You're right. . He probably will be named in the side, but i doubt as a starter
