I still think we are one decent middle short. I think we will miss Paulo and his carry’s. However if the defence can be significantly improved off the back of the change of dynamic and squad then it will be a net positive. I’m very sceptical of CNK, and I don’t think we have a first grade standard ...

That was the problem with last season [emoji13]

zim

Surprised he would take a 1 year deal.

zim

Yeah I don't get it either. Training has never been an issue with Lui. Maybe it's a kick up the butt because he didn't lead in the trial like expected for one of the senior guys. Guess we'll just have to see what happens with him round 1.

zim

Just called ricky to get his feedback on this. He immediately hung up on me. He called back shortly after:

"Sorry mate did you say Pickman?"
"No, Nickman".
*Hangs up*

zim

It's possible he has a spot already and stuart wants to maximize the fringe forwards in the side to see how they go (despite "strongest lineup"). If it's not though and it's all going off trial form then surely Horsburgh firming for a round 1 bench spot. Pretty big fall if he goes from starting -> 3...

zim

If he does head off they should consider signing Satini on for min wage.

zim

Full strength barring Leilua, Oldfield, Bateman and Rapana: 1-Nicoll-Klokstad 2-Cotric 3-Croker 4-Kris 5-Simmonson 6-Wighton 7-Sezer 8-Papalli 9-Hodgson 10-Guler 11-Whithead 12-Tapine 13-Murchie 14-Havili 15-Lui 16-Sutton 17-Soliola 18-Collins 19-L.Bateman 20-Starling 21-Horsburgh 22-Abbey 23-Willi...

Well there you go. Lots of players who can't possibly play first grade. Hopefully if they are used it's as a unit and they don't come heavily into the first grade rotation.

In the video from the article they're looking to get 60mins out of the strongest squad.

Why no J. Bateman?

Injured. Good to go for round 1 though.

I honestly didn't notice him playing. Sent from my SM-N960F using The Greenhouse mobile app powered by Tapatalk He gave away a few penalties to stop their momentum. Made 2 good runs and a number of back to back defensive efforts in the middle, but unless he's able to produce at a slightly higher le...

zim

Yeah it was quite a high level of play.

zim

I'd say Abbey. Simmo is zero chance of 1st grade this year.

Did Horsburgh play middle??

How did Lui and Sutton go?

Sent from my iPhone using The Greenhouse

Sutton copped an early knock and seemed a little injured later. Not the best debut.
Horsburgh was excellent.

zim

I think we learned Havili should stop trying to kick. Horsburgh should be in the round 1 side and so should Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad.

zim

After that trial and with adding Sam Williams and Starling to their side, Mounties should give it another top 4 tilt this year.
Tony Satini especially looks to have improved a lot and once Simonsson settles down and gets his bearings he should be good too.

zim

Everything taps did was quality but his time was limited.
Was interested to see how Ponga went. He's got a lot of work ahead of him but when he gets some time he's got some really crisp passing.

zim

How good was it to see him chasing Fergo? Looks in great nick to start the year.
Still a loser though.

zim

Kris was excellent defensively. Murchie too. Horsburgh really added some starch but looks like he needs to work on his fitness a bit. Good enough to be on the bench in the round 1 17. Starling was great but he's never playing first grade. He'd be a liability in the middle in defense. We looked reall...

zim

He certainly was great in the trial. Looks like he's put on some size too.

zim

3-2-1s for the trial.

YKTR.

3 Sam Williams
2 Corey Horsburgh
1 Charnze Nicoll Klokstad

Good win. Didnt watch.
Did anyone from our 30 man unit go down with any injuries?

It looked like Sutton went off injured. He also copped another knock quite early.
The commentators confused him and Hudson Young a lot so it's hard to tell exactly what each of them did.

zim

What about Woods? Are the dogs still paying some of that or are the sharks now paying full freight?

zim

Gordon is still with them Ah right you are. I would have thought they'd have seen enough in AJs last 4 games of the year at fullback to pick him first even with Gordan still there who looked a bit cooked about halfway through the year. My strongest raiders lineup would be: 1. Charnze Nicoll-Kloksta...

zim

Good points on Sia. I've considered a few sides with him on the bench and Sutton or Lui start instead, even had Tapine at prop but I keep coming back to selecting who I think are the best 13 just based on getting off to the best start possible. The idea also being those guys are there to close out t...

I think we'll see Roberts at 6 and Jacks in reserve grade to start. Taylor playing well with Roberts is a big reason they got him back.
Word at Titans is that Jacks will play at 6 and Brimson as an impact utility

Who's playing fullback if not Brimson?

zim

Food for thought is that Ryley Jacks was to be signed at the same time as the english boys. If he signs instead of heading to the Titans after the handshake then Wighton is still at fullback and we have a spine of: 1. Wighton 6. Jacks 7. Sezer 9.

Pretty sure you have to apply the raiders tax GE. That 6000k to the titans game that people are referencing was reported as over 11000.
I think you'll find the crowd at Seiffert was actually only 17.81 people.

It would be pretty sweet if we could instead get DWZ using part of Rapana's relief fund. He is a "winger" after all.
