i understand its only a trial, but how john green gets to wear a broncos jersey is beyond me, surely he is only a stop gap for this trial.... and I would have thought that maranta would be on the outer as well... lets hope jharal gets through with no issues so maranta can be banished.

I think the fact that he has worked his butt off through the off season helps him deserve a few minutes in a Broncos jersey. That aside I am with you in hoping we don't need him at some stage this season

I'm hoping he plays well and pushes Hannant and McGuire to play a lot better. Sebastien Martins is also a monster so I'm hoping he eventually pushes for a first grade spot. With Corvo training these guys there's absolutely no limit to what these big guys can do.

Exactly, competition for spots is what we want.
I'm always a bit confused by statements like 'I hope he doesn't get a run etc.' because unless they have personally down something to you why would you care? We finally have competition in most spots, so if someone like Jon Green gets a start it's because he is the best available and thats a good think for us. If he doesn't get a start it means the others are better but also know they can't slack off because they have guys gunning for there position. This is a great position to be in and isnt something we have had for a while.

As far as i know he is not part of our squad so if we get to him then we are in serious trouble.
I would put Hannant, McGuire, Kennedy, Hala and Dodds above him even on their mediocre showing last year so with better fitness Jon Green at best gets a look in at origin time.
Don't know enough about Martins to comment but suspect he is in the same boat as Green

So if he impressed and warranted a small contract that would be a bad thing?

No not at all but i still think Green is about six in line and he would have to play way above all his previous stints to make the best team. That is why i believe if we get down to using him in first grade then we are in trouble either through injury or we have at least 3 props sadly out of form

Those first few cuts basically personify 'dominant tackle'. Let's just hope Corvo gives him some mobility!
I don't like the fact that there were a few shots where it cuts to the next scene right before he scores / doesn't score. I'd hate him to end up the new Maranta in terms of bombed tries.

I'm not too worried about that, scoring tries will not be his primary job, unlike Maranta's...

Meanwhile at Red Hill, Maranta is talking to the web guys about changing his profile to read:

Speaking of Maranta, some on here will be pleased to know he has been ruled out of this weeks trial with a hamstring injury. Vidot will start.

Not having a dig at you, I probably should have worded it better but I didn't think you were necessarily implying that your happy he got injured.
Mate come round 1 I don't want him there and unless he shows huge improvement not in the long term, but he is in the squad and trials are there for all players available to be apart of them, even the one's you don't necessarily rate, you need to see how all players are travelling.
