They always give plenty of players a run during trials and sometimes only a handful of first graders on at some stage during the game.
Under current squad rules though, if they are not in top 30 they are unlikely to be allowed to play during season. I would rather see the combos that are likely to play given time. I will be interested to see if Norman lines up at fullback or half.
Chiefly, for someone who carries on incessantly about our juniors. Do you realise that Aukafalou did his ACL and won't be able to play or possibly train until June/Juky. Maybe that's one reason why he hasn't been seen, anyway, back to citicising.
Hope we get smashed for two reasons one is this year we flogged Newcastle and thought we are too good for everyone we are already premiers in feb and 2 nd time for ba to go early
"In Flegg against manly last nite we won 52-6 and played as a team. Finally. No-one had a bad game and Kade Moujalli was rated the fans player of the match. Leluai, Talagi, Hudson and Petrus were next best but Cameron Bamblett, even at 6, is a…"

"Seems it is Galvin's role at Dogs that is the issue, not necessarily Galvin per se? Galvin permanently replaced Sexton at #7 for Dogs in Round 20 of 2025. After 19 rounds going into Round 20, Dogs were 3rd (12 wins, 4 losses, 3 byes; 366 (f) vs 270…"
"Thanks mate. The Manly team are shit to be fair. They are coming last in JF with no SG ball players in the team still.
Jordan Rankin has been doing a great job recently. He deserves a massive shout out."

Gee. Looks like some of naysayers jumped the gun on the number of trial matches.
Wait for it, now they will complain that 3 is to many as other clubs have 2 despite the 1st match being ISP.
I'm not to concerned how many we have anyway. Most regular 1st grade players only play in 1 match and usually only half the match anyway

I would be praying we have a better year next year
