Ok, I'm starting to feel confident that barring injuries, this will be the round 1 team (all except fullback I'm pretty sure on and I am not saying this is what I would run out):

1. Farnworth / Cobbo / Mead / Isaako (I really don't know here BUT if they go with the 6, 7, 9 here, they can afford to go a rookie and either Herbie or Cobbo isn't going to be any worse than the other two)
2. Cobbo / Farnworth
3. Staggs (Locked in)
4. Lee (Locked in - need his defensive ability)
5. Pereira (Locked in)
6. Walters (90% Locked in - Mam could get this spot but only if Walters is at 14 and not Piax)
7. Reynolds (c) (Locked in)
8. Haas (Locked in)
9. Turpin (Likely first 20 and then Paix comes on)
10. James (Locked in - Flegler of course is suspended)
11. Capewell (Locked in - Likely on the right to marshal Staggs and Lee on the left to marshal left side (Strong side!))
12. Riki (Locked in barring injury)
13. Hetherington (Locked in)

14. Paix (90% Locked in)
15. Carrigan (Locked in)
16. Jensen (Locked in)
17. Robati (Locked in)

18. Mam (90% Locked in)
19. Kennedy (Locked in)
20. Gamble (Locked in)
21. Mead / Isaako (Not sure which)

I think Capewell will 100% be on the left. That’s as set in stone as Reynolds at 7.

Badel reporting

Love this guy.

All I'm gonna say is the earlier we put Cobbo at fullback, the sooner he will adapt to the position before we get to the pointy end. If we're gonna lose games because of experiments, we want it to be at this end of the season.

who says we plan to play him at fullback at all.

 

[McHunt]

Paul Crawley says Billy Walters is a "must for now," but Mam is an "excitement machine" and "the one to watch out for."

When is Martin due back?
Could he shake things up in the 6 or 14 department?

possible if he can get some confidence and form but I'd say it would be later in the season if anything.

 

[heartly87]

So is this general soreness Covid? I see no reason risking him in a trial anyway. There really isn't anything to gain from it.

Dobbo this morning has reported that B.Walters is locked in for the 6 jersey in rd1.

Fair enough. I’m just glad a decision has been made.

Yep, and Dobbo was the right man to make it.

 

[Wolfie]

Fair enough. I’m just glad a decision has been made.

Unless he goes all Albert Kelly against the Cows. Then it will be whoever has a good game in that trial.

then we see if we can get Moose to break his dragons contract.

Yea he looks pretty unfit too (even on the wing). Needs to get more gametime there if he's inline for the position long term. Otherwise I think we are better off with Isaako/mead until Nui returns...

 

[Wolfie]

I'd like to see us give Herbie or Cobbo a run at fullback. I just cant see a loss in this game. We should easily put 30 on them.

 

[Foordy]

We should easily put 30 on them.

I think some of you lot are forgetting i was spot on with my prediction for the Bulldogs game last year. Even said they wouldnt put a point on us. Just proves i'm usually on the money with my prediction.

I think all of us forgot that.
