Bring back Team list Tuesday ..

[Woodsie]

To the mods that blocked the team list Tuesday thread ... chewy on your boots .... I miss the drama and anticipation of a thread dedicated solely for the purpose of "knowing" better than the selectors ...

With Brown supposedly out ... who comes in ?

Is Sykes, Potato or Navlae chances ... will Chee Kam be resurrected possibly?

 

[Bomb Voyage]

My best guess:

1. Lehi
2. Talau
3. Turbo
4. Koula
5. Garrick
6. Brooks
7. DCE (c)
8. Lodge
9. Jazz
10. TKO
11. Ben
12. Waddell
13. Jake
------------------------
14. Simpkin
15. Sipley
16. Bully
17. Navale
-------------------------
18. Chee Kam

Hopefully no Croker

Can't see Seibold bringing in Navale. A really stupid decision, given we are likely not making the finals. It's baffling to me, that we have the exact opposite problem he had at the Broncos, where he gave too many juniors opportunities.

Like for reference, compare the guy we brought in (Bryan) to Navale in NSW Cup.

Navale:
12 appearances
123 average running metres
95.6% tackle efficiency
17 TB
3 tries
Averaging ~70+ mins

Bryan:
8 appearances
67 average running metres
94.6% tackle efficiency
12 tackle breaks
2 tries
Averaging ~40 mins

I don't know what they're seeing in these external guys (we were apparently looking at Hetherington and Saulo too), that they can't see in Navale. Size? Maybe.

Anyway, I think Croker will be back, with Tevaga taking Brown's place. No idea what to expect with Saab vs Talau, but since you've gone Talau, I'll go Saab.

1. Hoppa
2. Saab
3. Koula
4. Turbo
5. Garrick
6. Brooks
7. DCE
8. Lodge
9. Croker
10. TKO
11. Waddell
12. Burbo
13. Jake
14. Simpkin
15. Bullemor
16. Tevaga
17. Sipley

Surely not Potato. He's a spud.

BFB is gone for the year , just had shoulder surgery out for 3-4 months.

Not sure if that’s the end of him is he signed beyond 2025?

Talau on wing. Navale on bench.

Surely
