Looks like a complete overhaul of players coming and going, new players bring more energy and an air of high expectation for most teams. Really think the Blacktown boys are semi bound once again in 2024.

I am hoping Andrew Cartisano goes well, he is my mates son. He has plenty of talent. We had him at Windsor a few years back and he fell off the radar but by all reports he has come back a whole lot better this time, we will see

Throw in the likes of James , Condon , Sykes , Dias . Also no doubt a couple of other high profile forwards if not required for i st grade at any set time .
Tui[ maybe ] , Ray Ray , Faulalo , Arthur in the backs . Matterson .
Certainly has the makings of a quite competitive reserve grade line up .
Just also naturally hope that this good depth factor is not going to be or have to be overutilized with a very serious injury toll factor again .

Don't forget Woods and Fulton who won't see 1st grade unless major injury toll.
Blacktown is potentially looking very strong this year

Dias and Sykes would probably offer a bit more get up and go then Arron [ Woods ] though of course Arron can still offer good value to the club in other areas , if not on the field when needed .
Certainly some interest with the likes of Hodgson and Wakeham on the scene now , not sure if centre is the best position for Faulalo to show his real ability , maybe full back and Abbey is quite versatile . Ferris was not a bad finisher as well but looks like he has moved on .
Hank [ Parker ] would surely have to be in the starting side either at centre or edge if Burbo gets the jump on him initially in i st grade
Really think Burbo will kill it this season. He was looking the goods in the last 4games until the dreded hammy curse got him again. At least a bench spot for mine.

Anyone know how Blacktown got on against Norths?
Report from Blacktown: it was our first trial for 2024 but we did manage to score 8 tries to zero with some great try line defence please keep in mind both teams are resting players and not kicking for goals etc

Why did we let go of Jake Toby, he looked like he could have been a good player.
Personally I saw him as a great lower grader but never going to make a real go of it in firsts.
Good luck to him.

yeah, he's playing for Melbourne tonight in the trials. I honestly had big raps on him.
