Re: 2022 Rd 1 V Sharks: Teams and Previews
None taken mate. I just found Timoko trialling on the left and Croker playing halves in the trial a bit strange. And the fact none of us probably want Semi in the side almost makes his selection a moral! I’d say it was more to do with if Croker can’t last the season Timoko will move to the left and...

Re: 2022 Rd 1 V Sharks: Teams and Previews
Following the trials and comments by Sticky I think we'll see something close to: 1. CNK 2. Cotric 3. Croker - co-captaincy with EW and first choice goal kicker. 4. Timoko 5. Savage 6. Wighton 7. Fogarty 8. Papa 9. Hodgo - Will start and go for 25-30 minutes. 10. Tapine 11. Young 12. CHN 13. EW 14....

Re: 2022 Trial 2 V Sea Eagles: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*
I'm befuddled by the take on Whitehead on here. It was a bit clunky but him in the Yeo role opened up the field for the halves better than at any point in 2021 and it was the first proper trial. He's suited to the role and imo it was the most important selection to be made for this entire season. I...

Re: 2022 Trial 1 V Roosters: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*
I think its pretty obvious this is the reserve forwards (15-17) and depth guys, and Croker, who needs miles in the legs and a chance to prove his ability. CHN might be the only bench guy I expect to start. The only real interest is Savage vs CNK who are possibly in a "shootout". So, I'm g...

Re: Dolphins set sights on Corey Harawira-Naera
Dolphins already signed Felise Kaufusi and Kenny Bromwich - CHN would have a better shot here at nailing a starting spot down in the 2nd row.

That's how I'd have it as well depending on fitness. I can see Kris in 15 for utility value. Don't think we'll start the year with Savage at fullback. I'm expecting them to be overly cautious with his shoulder. Pretty sure also that Rapana isn't there for the first few rounds with the DUI charge - ...
