As the 2021 season draws closer (can't freakin wait) I believe our bench (if all players stay fit) will be the strongest it's been in 10yrs, will that relate to a GF appearance? Time will tell I suppose.
Whats your bench look like?
Here's mine.... and remembering if all players are fit and are playing to their potential.
14 Roache
15 Cartwright
16 Papali'i
17 Hipgrave / Kaufusi
18 Marata

with the speed of the game, we definitely need some one who can come on and play at dummy half, R Mahoney last year looked a bit flat at the back end of games, B Cartwright needs to start in NSW cup to prove himself. Our depth looks a bit better this year, with some good youth coming through
How many trial games do we have this year?
I can only find Panthers listed.
We play Dragons as well
Thanks Sneaky.
I would expect to see the usual merry go round of up to 40 players getting a bit of a run.
The games on the 18th of Feb. A ground hasn't be announced yet
Just been told by the Dragons that there won't be any first graders playing
Doesn't matter Runna - to my thinking the object of the trials is for players coming back from injury get a hit out, young possibles get a chance to show what they have to offer, and try a few combos under real ( should that be virtual?) game conditions.
Like Poppa says, St Gorge could field their top players and still not be fielding a top FG side. lol
Pennies won't be fielding their top team either.
No one does for the trials - they are for trialling things.
We are nowhere near GF quality
Why?
Double why Grinch?
