Really like the side.

Will give Brown the benefit of the doubt for now. International and versatile.

But if we loose then it's all Baz"s fault

 

[Ryan]

Barrett is putting a LOT of faith in Frank Winterstein. I personally think the guy is absolutely horrible from what I saw last season. Literally, struggling to play NSW Cup quality Rugby League.

Api at Hooker is a massive worry. I'm thinking he plays 80 minutes with Brown backrow support, and that's not a good thing.

Good side. Very happy that Kelly, Winterstein and Lawrence made the team.

This side will kick the Eels butt.

 

[Ryan]

Shaun Lane not listed in any grade, either?

 

[Deleted member 26876]

Why waste Taupau at prop when we have plenty, why Lewis brown?! Surely Cullen or Hastings is the better option, brown makes the side look weak just by his name. Better play good and prove me wrong but very doubtful

AHHH

[Deleted member 26876]

All the rest I'm happy with

 

[Ryan]

Can someone please convince me on Winterstein? @Woodsie , know you were one of his biggest advocates - in fact, you called him in the starting team 4-5 months ago !!

 

[Woodsie]

AHHH

get a grip on yourself Harry.

 

[tookey]

if the forecast weather hits the result will be a lottery

 

[Dan]

Api needs to have a solid game to convince me, I'm not sold on him as a hooker, I should know I've see a few.......

I disagree mate

We have a few Props but most are unexperienced and untested.

Also Tapaw can't play 80 effectively. Gets tired and drifts out of games.

Better to but him a prop and just say bash them.

But when Darcy comes back he might have to move back to the second row.

But hey. That's why Baz is getting the bus bucks.

 

[maxta]

Strong Side
Prefer Lane/Hastings to Brown but lets see how he go's in 2017....had shocking off field situations and may be in better frame of mind 2017.

 

[Ryan]

what happened to the 21 man squad?

Sorry mate, they listed them as well:

18. Cameron Cullen
19. Jonathan Wright
20. Matthew Wright
21. Jackson Hastings
22. Jarrad Kennedy

interesting...named 22 then?

Hahaha...weapon

 

[Holmsey]

Best team we can put on the park barring Darcy Lussick.

 

[Steve76]

Trent has got the forward pack WRONG.
He is sending our most potentially damaging runner to the slaughter in Tapau.
Lawrence can have a handbrake and sironen and winterstein are edge runners.
Nate myles must start front row and tapau back row.
He needs to be running on the edges slaughtering the fringes minimising the oppositions effectiveness from the halves and then on the odd occasion
Imagine tapau running block plays dragging in defenders for turbo out the back and picking up walker.
Cmon trent use your brain
