2021 Squad

This is the squad the Daily Telegraph has just posted in the Supercoach section:-

2021 squad: Waqa Blake, Dylan Brown, Nathan Brown, Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Bryce Cartwright, Haze Dunster, Blake Ferguson, Clint Gutherson, Keegan Hipgrave, David Hollis, Samuel Hughes, Michael Jennings (stood down), Oregon Kaufusi, Shaun Lane, Joey Lussick, Reed Mahoney, Ryan Matterson, Mitchell Moses, Marata Niukore, Michael Oldfield, Tom Opacic, Isaiah Papali’i, Junior Paulo, Jordan Rankin, Maika Sivo, Will Smith, Ray Stone

Development players: Nathaniel Roache

According to this there's still only 26 players listed if you take Jennings out. Is there anyone they've missed? If not, it's going to be interesting to see how we fill those 4 spots. I can't see a miracle with Jennings' B Sample, so I'm assuming we will get to remove him from the squad when that finally gets dealt with - probably after his contract expires anyway the way they're going!!!! There also seems to be some mystery surrounding Hughes as well at the moment - has anyone got an update on what's happening there?

Today we see our eels up against the team most pundits were backing to take out the wooden spoon this year before the season kicked off, but have surprised many coming into this game with three wins in a row, St George.These three wins were against…

Moses will be the most overpriced player on SuperCoach.

Wouldn't mind having Ferguson in the side this year.

  Scott I don't give a rats about Supercoach, this is about filling our squad. You're batting at about 0 for 3,489 so you must be due for a sensible reply to a blog very soon....if not, give up, I think I've told you that once or twice before.

The last four spots will be filled within the club, Penisini, Will be upgraded

Not sure about the other three but I'm not expecting any more sighnings.

  Yeah, I was thinking 1 or 2 may be from within, and form in the trials may play a part in that. Still, not sure if there's anyone of value to us sitting there waiting for a transfer as I can't see there's 4 players from within - Penisini will be 1 and more than likely Roache will be another if he gets over his injury issues.

  Maybe a Sean Russell or a Charlton Schafhausen, I know Tim Lafia has been signed on a reserve grade contract But could be a chance of being promoted to the top 30.🤷‍♂️

    Pensini, Roache and Lafai will be promoted

      I can't see Roache getting promoted until he is cleared of his injury problems.
