[Wolfie]

I think all of us forgot that.

Obviously.

 

[McHunt]

Obviously.

Maybe you should put it in your signature.

 

[BroncsFan]

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.

 

[Renegade]

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.

ok nostradamus, are we running down mancity by end of season or no?

 

[Harry Sack]

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.

Patty's not going to like you with no teeth mate. Or maybe he will tbh...

Sadly for the scousers, they will just fall short.

[Alex Wingnut]

Happy about the Paix news he absolutely deserves it, If Cobbo shows enough at Fullback he could snag the spot for round 1.

 

[the_next]

I like it, worth a shot “it’s only a trial”..
Paix certainly deserves starting 9 also.
Isaako out the door may well happen if Cobbo can prove himself.

 

[Strop]

How do Cobbo and Niu compare in the pace department?
I assume Cobbo's stroll down the sideline in semi-pursuit on the weekend was some sort of anomaly.

 

[Unbreakable]

How do Cobbo and Niu compare in the pace department?
I assume Cobbo's stroll down the sideline in semi-pursuit on the weekend was some sort of anomaly.

I would say Niu has better footwork / acceleration, probably faster over 20m, but Cobbo has the higher top speed.

 

[WASSHHH]

I would say Niu has better footwork / acceleration, probably faster over 20m, but Cobbo has the higher top speed.

I’d say Cobbo is much quicker between the ears too.

 

[McHunt]

Once again: BHQ orders it, Coach Walters obeys.

For those wanting more, that's pretty much all Pete has except he thinks Albert and Billy will be the halves for the trial. I'd be astonished if Tyson doesn't get a run.

 

[Sproj]

Badel is rarely right, lets hope this is one of those rare occasions and I have had a quiet thought in the back of my head all along that Cobbs might have been shielded a bit until the last trial, takes a lot of pressure off having Isaako and Mead there and then unleash him in the last trial to see how he goes. If he sucks, you can fall back to Isaako or Mead, if he shines, well great news all round.

I wonder if this might be the side:

1. Cobbo
2. Farnworth
3. Staggs
4. Lee
5. Pereira
6. Walters
7. Mam
8. Haas
9. Paix
10. James
11. Capewell (c)
12. Riki
13. Hetherington

14. Gamble
15. Carrigan
16. Jensen
17. Robati

18. Isaako
19. Mead
20. Kelly
21. Oates
22. Bayliss-Brow
23. Kennedy
24. Quai-Ward
25. Hoeter
26. Turpin
27. Flegler
28. Mariner
29. Piakura
30. Te Kura

Something like that. If we go into round 1 with a spine of Cobbo, Mam, Reynolds, Paix it is exciting but I worry slightly too green. I wouldn't be surprised to see Walters get the nod in this case but then if he does, who goes into 14 to relieve Paix for a bit?

It is really starting to take shape.

 

[BroncosFever]

How do Cobbo and Niu compare in the pace department?
I assume Cobbo's stroll down the sideline in semi-pursuit on the weekend was some sort of anomaly.

Cobbo has him covered, last season in the Newcastle game when he took the intercept he looked to have Xavier Coates really stretching to keep up with him too.

 

[Kimlo]

Isaako not at fullback and Paix ahead of Turpin?

Good shit Walters.

 

[BroncosFever]

I look forward to Huge's post game analysis criticising Cobbo of everything he's refused to say about Isaako, although it's been blatantly obvious for a couple of years now that Isaako isn't a fullback's arsehole
