    Honestly BE i like him as a player . But my humble opinion is he is better suited coming off the bench in the middle

    Doorey at lock was very good at nsw cup. Got a very deceptive short ball at the line

    Not a fan at lock, he runs a good line and makes a good mobile prop, but I've never seen him play lock, so who knows?

    yeah thanks guys, I was surprised, i just don't see him ball playing like a walker, Hopgood, DeBellin, etc. That surprised me. Mind you none are as good as Walker at it, from lock.

      He will surpise you with his ball playing with other forwards. As I just said a quick short ball at the line while looking to play out the back. He did it very well a few times in NSW Cup last yer,

    Depends on whether he can own the position and keep up, he's defiently got huge potential

  I can't remember a first trial line up as strong as this in many years.  Maybe Ryles taking the opportunity to get match conditioning in to them as much as possible.  Injuries are just as likely at training as in a game.  Will be interesting to see how the halves control the game.
