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

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
