    I think Ryles is taking last year's slow start into consideration.  Our first few rounds seemed like we lacked match fitness.

  Gotta say that looks good, considering who's missing. Another winger to push Tago down and an improvement on Meni Luke and that's quite a well covered squad, even as is.

  Wondering how the halves would change. We have 5 on the sheet: Pezet, Joash, Volkman, Talataina, Fletcher. Guessing Fletcher might play 9 for a bit? 

  Footy's proper back tho. yay.

    I recon Joash will move to fullback when the first change happens with Iongi wrapped in cotton wool.

    No chance Fletcher plays 9. I recon Pezet and Fletcher play minimal minutes. Twiddle, Joash and Iongi to split the fullback minutes.

      EA how old is Twiddle i watch a few lower grade games last year seemed to have a good future . Has he been training with the top boys . What's your opinion of him going further

        Twiddle turns 22 this year. Can play fullback and even 5/8. So his future at the club is blocked. So he would have to go England or another NRL team for a crack IMO.

        I would like to see him developed into a utlity player that can cover fullback, centre, 5/8 and lock.

          The new 19 man bench could make Twidle valuable.

            I agree but from my understanding he has only trained at fullback for the past 2 years so not sure if the club are considering to explore his utlity value.

          Twiddle has more upside being able to play wing, FB and 5/8, so I'd have him on the wings in NSW Cup over Tago.
