Tamale? Injured? Ineligible? Too far off the pace?

Being preserved for Trial 2. He’s going to be start Round 1 on the wing, is my prediction.

Looks like its just a second lineup in position apart from Skipps and Taumoepeau. Wouldn't be surprise if they just swap out the whole team at half time.

Strange 6 and tamale 5 are the takeaways from this list.
I'm low key excited about the cook, sanders, Pattie combo and see what Martin can do at the 13.

Yeah, that's one big takeaway for mine. And the likelihood of Weekes at fullback.

Yeah, that was a bit of an early assumption once the Danny Walker thing played out.

Looking forward to this , Footy is back but we get to see some of the young guys and fringe players.
Hopefully we see a bit of a change in the style we play. Obviously, combinations etc will be clunky.

But they are.
I'm hopeful Pattie can get a bench spot straight off the bat. This trial will be important for him.

It's a beast NSW Cup spine. I fully expected Pattie to get a slowly slowly treatment this year. I know Strange got catapulted straight to five-eighth last year but the only real competition was another green player in Weekes. In Pattie's case Stick has his old reliables, intangibles/leadership #9s in Starling and Levi. He'll let them go, but slowly slowly

What I'm most happy about that team is that Trey Mooney is seemingly a lock for the first grade team.

Starling and Levi should both be plying their wares in this first trial though.

I think for young blokes it's purely defence. If Ricky trusts you to make tackles he'll pick you. Trust in Starling and Levi is very thin given they are both leaving the club at the end of this year.

This game is on same day as my bday party. Ironic. Nothing less than a convincing victory and a dubby war cry suffice from our reggies. Hell, I want to blow the Viking Horn!

I think you're 100% correct here. Hopefully Pattie performs in the trials and he takes that bench spot for round 1 - I'm not ruling out the possibility... for reasons you've mentioned and the fact that Ricky seemed to finally go cold on Levi at the end of last season.

The fact that Tamale, Timoko, Kris, Strange and Savage aren't named in this trial does make me believe Strange will start at 6 given that we can't fit all five into four centre/wing spots. I thought Sanders would almost certainly start in the halves.

Tamale I'd say is locked in to start based on these team lists but I don't think it's 100% confirmed it will be on the wing... could be at centre. We'll have to wait for round 1 for a clear picture (not sure if anybody remembers the team named for the final trial last year but it was not the team named in round 1).

Based upon his defensive statistics in NSW cup last season I'd be very surprised to see him get a centre spot.

You might have them the wrong way around, Regsy, my boy.

I'm sure Levi has trained the house down during the off-season and is fitter than he's ever been.

Yeah there's about a 98% chance that it will be Starling and Levi but I'm not going to rule out the remote possibility until I see the round 1 team list

From my perspective, the significantly more important thing is who ends the season in those key roles rather than who starts the season.
