Re: 2021 Trial V Roosters: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*
I understand he is 18 so can play NRL should he be selected. Sticky never rushes young players though. I think Sticky has it right to have players physically and mentally mature enough to have a crack at first grade. The highlight reels show he sure can run but there is not much for when he doesn't...

Re: 2021 Trial V Roosters: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*
I know the Roosters were missing Keary, but their staring halves were pretty pedestrian. Sam Walker has some real skill about him and great vision. He's quite small though, so not sure how ready he is for the rigours of a full NRL season. Friend is well past his best. It will be interesting to see ...

Re: 2021 Trial V Roosters: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*
I watched both matches on Kayo and I didn't think either was clear that the Horspower arm was tucked in. Perhaps there is another angle which was not available to Kayo but the on field Refs didn't seem in any doubt. When I watched the first one, I thought it was just a good hit. I agree with you on ...

Re: 2021 Trial V Roosters: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*
I think Baily Simmonson and Rapa should be our wingers for Rd 1. Baily's goal kicking will be needed. I hadn't seen George Williams kick for goal before. I'd let him focus on being the best half in the Club. It's only a trial but I thought Timoko and Kris look good for the center positions. CNK in t...

Re: 2021 Trial V Roosters: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*
The Raiders have given it to Teddy in the first half. Lots of great chasing and strong defensive work on him. Hodgo passing early and it's helping. Papa's offload in the lead up to the first try was a beauty and the good news was that the players around him were expecting it. Havili and CNK having g...

Re: 2021 season predictions and previews
My 2021 Season prediction is that if Cameron Smith does not play any matches for the Storm they will not make the Top 4. His captaincy, general play and goal kicking will be missed.

For defensofiles like me, I loved the commitment of the Indigenous All Stars in defence in the first half.

I am one happy Raider fan with this news. Hopefully he can resume his 2019 form and build on it. I like the fact his focus is on footy when he is on the park.
