Definitely should be starting over Alioia, has looked dangerous playing back in his preferred role in the middle.

He’s been the big improver from 22 to 23.
And he and Jake were the only two that could hold up their heads on Saturday night.
Yes I know he made one **** up , but I guess with the pressure that was on you can’t blame him.

I think that’s his best role too, going well doing that , don’t change what’s working.
Agreed @Mark from Brisbane but we must change what isn't working. Starting with Tuilagi and Harper, who are both not playing at NRL standard. Moving onto Turbo, who is playing injured and isn't fit enough/mobile enough to play fullback in the NRL right now. Croker is also playing with a busted shoulder, costing us badly in middle defence.
We shouldn't be playing our key players injured. There is no logic in continuing this. GCKT may not be the Messiah, but it's time we brought him into the seventeen to help resurrect our pre-season form. Weekes needs to be picked at fullback this week against the Storm, as I think continuing to play Turbo is only bringing us closer to another season-ending injury by playing him unfit.
I would like to see the club provide some clarification on the eligibility for all the players in the squad, including development players, considering our recent injuries. I would have imagined that GCKT is eligible to be picked this weekend based on the injury to Lawton, which will be yet another long-term injury for him. Fletcher Myers should also be eligible for selection when considering the injuries to Koula, Tuipolotu and Burbo. Where does Latu Fainu sit in terms of selection in 2023. Yes. I know it's highly unlikely that he will be selected. However, this removes one player and possibly two from our thirty-person squad as we will still have NO information from the club on just who has taken Tuitavakes spot
From our match day thread Sea Eagles V Panthers also shows Nathanial Roache as available but not selected, for example? How does this impact on GCKTs eligibility? Is he confirmed as taking the last spot in the thirty? If so, why? Inquiring minds would like to know.

I’d be surprised if he’s on the bench,given he’s not in the 30 and development players can’t play til rd10 or 11 and train and trial players need to be upgraded before selection
Thanks, @Nordburg but according to info provided by the club that ends up in the pre-game and game-day threads on this site, he was available for selection last week (see below). If so, how? This is for the club to answer @Mitch @The Wheel

I think he's a lot bigger than choc. Has a funny build, quite proportional so he doesn't really stand out as being large. Unfortunately I think 13 allows him to play like watmough used to and get his hands on the ball more where now second row means sticking to your channel and Bully seems the type to get frustrated when he can't just inject himself at will. Cam Murray seems to be able to play second row in rep games but rep games are less structured.
It will work itself out. I think patience is needed. I hate Flanagan's commentary on Fox, it's so basic, but maybe that's what's needed to get through to some of these Rugba leeg players. Hang in there silvertails. The first six rounds is a conservative B from me. Last year I'd give it a D at the same stage.

Bullemor has been fantastic for us. Bends the line, has speed too for a backrower. Urgent that we re sign him!

You're right 100 percent.
He really isn't that far off from being a really solid player.
I think his height somewhat works to his disadvantage since he's taller than choc, and hes easier tackle from the waist down. I think thats why you see him make a half break and defenders get him around the legs, whereas choc is built low to the ground and is harder to tackle and breaks free a lot easier. But he will get there.
Bullemor's height is 1.90m whereas Choc is 1.83m, so bit of a height difference.

Wow that even talker than I thought. That's internet height though. For anyone who has a short mate here's a good prank I pulled on my brother. There's a company called Mulat shoes who make sneakers that apparently give you 2.4 extra inches. Their Facebook page came up on my feed so I linked my brother's name and said 'these were those shoes you were asking about ..... mate' so now all his friends and work colleagues think he was looking for them. He's about five foot eight in the old scale, I'm six two and he's the shortest of four brothers. He has the ****s cause he keeps getting adds for them on Facebook and Twitter now non stop and plenty of people I don't know on his Facebook rub him for it too.

Heres the team list for the Storm, as of Tuesday morning 11/04/2023. @Nordburg
To be updated this afternoon
It shows Nathanial Roache at 24 and available for selection this week. I can only assume that Roache has been upgraded from Train and Trial into the thirty??? @The Wheel @Mitch
If so we wont see GCKT until round eleven, and might not see him at all unless we have another injury in the hooker spot.

I wonder if Kelma and Louise…
…finds himself dropped to the bench?

The official Manly app has an updated squad list that includes Woods and only contains 29 players.It’s a bit of a dogs breakfast finding anything accurate to any teams squad list in the NRL
Exactly, He seems to have a lot of pent up energy coming off the bench and usually skittles a few with his first hit-up. Also the same thing with Paseka, his post contact metres have gone through the roof so far this season.

Seems to have found his best suited niche this season and with a better approach . Good leg drive , timing and aiming up much better in defence . Had that brief stint in the trials as a 13 , still could have some potential there and even had a couple of decent games on an edge early last season but every indication best used in that prop sub role now . Not sure why he has not been re signed at this point , maybe there are some negotiations behind the scenes , has shown his value now and should be in the keeper category on a realistic type contract extension . Still of the view probably better to start with Keppie and Jake , then having Tent and Bullemor coming on to add some serious momentum . Just a bit concerned that Tuilagi and Alioia seem to struggle to go the full distance , edge and 13 "s should have or normally have a bit more stamina level then that
