First trial; Who are we excited to watch?

Our 2023 campaign starts somewhat on Saturday with a trial against Penrith. Considering this is the first trial it is believed majority of the team will be reserve graders bar some. I think players that will play round 1 or have a chance that will play Saturday are; Russell, Dunster, Ogden, Makatoa and JA. Matterson i think could get a game aswell to get some match preparation for round 4.

I am excited to see Russell as i believe he will play Centre on Saturday to prepare for Round 1. Dunster also to see how he has recovered from his ACL, PCL and MCL tears.

 

I think this will be the team as follows

1. Rankin

2. Dunster

3. Cini

4. Russell

5. Loizou

6. Asi (if injured perhap Jack A Williams)

7. Arthur

8. Ogden

9. Rein

10. Makatoa

11. Momoisea

12. Mataele

13. Rodwell

Bench just randomly

Greig, Matterson, Brown, Lumelume, Hands, Yates, Taumoepenu, plus more but heading into NSW contract territory.

 

I am also excited to see how Mataele plays as he is a kid that could be the future at 12 above Doorey and Momoisea.

I think there is a chance though we could see Doorey and Momoisea start in the back-row with the sole purpose of them two battling it out for no. 12  jersey in round 1.

    • What you been smokin ???

      • Brains and they are just about all used up! 

      • Jake grass it's great stuff but very slow to take affect. It's up to 6, 7 or 9 minutes to kick 🦶 in

      • Hemhhoroids

    • Who cares if Moses leaves, we re-signed the 7 that matters now let's all just move along please.

      • Exactly, thinking along the same lines.

  • Ok but I think Dunster is a fair bit away from playing, unless anyone has heard any recent reports. Russell looks much bigger in recent pics. I reckon he is the smokey for a regular starting position. 

    • Yeah chief Russell's year

    • Yeah Duster won't play 

  • is it streamed?
