[Fluffy]

after re-thinking about it, I bet it was Des who sent through copies of the Goat photos

Burgess has fallen a fair way...

Deservedly so!!

Hopeless

The video was interesting to watch when the team was announced. The men look fit and strong.

Parcell and Tom trbojevich could be brothers!!

 

[eggson]

Whatever happens... i'm excited!

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

Happy that Mateo named over Symonds

 

[Lord Eagleton]

Boner

Rightful spot I would suggest. It does show the improvement in forward depth

 

[Clay]

Interesting to see A FB on the bench in NSW cup.
Can we not do the whole goat photo routine this year it's a bit dank.

 

[Acta]

So Api play's no trials and get's starting spot over Parcell and same for Brown (Penrith loyalty's from Barrett?) . The pack doesn't seem that intimidating to me. Brown and green not that impressed.

Our second row looks weak. Green FMD

Dogs certainties

Agree on the second row not on the dogs winning though

 

[Talons]

Good team. Particularly excited to see how the new hooking combination of Api and Parcell go.

 

[HappilyManly]

Kick-off in the U20s match is 5.45pm. Gates open 5.30pm.

It will be followed by the NRL match at 8.05pm. What happened to the 7pm kick off?

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Welcome newbies @Acta & @Talons

 

[NewwyEagle]

Kinda hope Vave gets that final bench spot. Keen to see him in action!

 

[Lord Eagleton]

Starling and Brenton Lawrence starting NSW Cup props. Our depth has gotten so much better

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Do we assume Vave won't play if everyone is fit?

 

[manlyfan76]

If Vave is 18Th man than we have one prop on the bench v the big dogs pack.

 

[SeaEaglesBlog]

Forward depth looks good, shifting the cap dollars from the backline and into the engine room will pay off. And you've still got to throw Buhrer into the mix in a month or so.

I thought Lawrence may have done enough, and in fact I'd pick him over Lussick, but time shall tell I guess.
