Yeah i dont think Pattie will play round 1. Hope im wrong but i think it'll be Starling starting and Levi spelling him for 20 horrendous minutes

Re: 2025 Trial 2 v Sharks: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1

Not a lot to write home about in that game beyond the opening 20-30 minutes
seems like everyone got out of it healthy though, i didnt notice anyone come off with any serious looking injury.

On to LV

Exactly. We just never create anything that looks like that.

Makes the game hard
In fairness I think savage scores on a regulation size field on the Chevy ball
But the red zone is still proving to be difficult for us

Re: 2025 Trial 2 v Sharks: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1

I dont know if it's a consensus, but if the answer to passing out of hooker is Danny Levi, you've asked the wrong **** question. His passing itself is fine, but the service is slow, the decision making is horrendous and the creativity is the arguably the worst of any modern day hooker with his level...

And on player comparisons. I hate them because it can make it look like you’re saying player a is as good as player b when you’re really just using an example of someone’s ilk rather than explaining it. Fwiw Stewart looks a born old school fullback in the Tedesco mould for mine. Just an everywhere ...

Yeah he's a talent, id be surprised and frankly disappointed if he's not in the top 17 by round 10.
Needs a bit more time to adjust to physicality of NSW Cup in defence but once he's settled there he should be our bench hooker and giving up 20 minutes a game to see what he can do

I think the Pattie hype is more to do with the dire need at hooker than a head-to-head comparison with Chevy. Agreed.
