If Peta Hiku & George Rose don't play NRL on Friday night I assume they will play on Saturday.

 

[Sheikheagle]

Wow what a clean out and justifiably so. Not many survivors from last season.

 

[Disco]

Strong looking team IMO

 

[Sheikheagle]

It's a yes from me

 

[north coast eagle]

Looks like a better side than last year.

 

[Fairy Bower]

And Rose & Hiku to be included if they don't play the night before. Looking strong

 

[the mauler]

Good to see Chee Kam has recovered from his injury. Hopefully gets some games under his belt and pushes for a spot in 1st grade. Expecting big things from him later in the season.

Wow, Stromquist at 17. I was hoping to see him in first grade this year. Maybe not, again.
Jimmy starting again might be a good sign and the centres & halves look strong.
I'm just a bit pissed off that Mitch Jowett has been let go. I thought he'd be a good one.
Wish i could make it on satdy.

Mitch had the worst luck with injuries so he pulled the pin. Tough break.

I didn't know that.
Thanks for letting me know.
Sometimes **** sucks.
That's a real waste of talent. Poor guy.

Yeah all went downhill when he was named to play in this team.

[Duff]

I'll give myself a pat on the back for not being too bad a judge then. I didn't realise he'd been picked out at higher levels.
Such a waste of talent.
He always stood out to me. I couldn't understand why he never got a look in. Must've been the injuries.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

I do wonder how strong a ball runner Tariq Sims was when he played on the wing. He put on around 20kg to make the transition to the backrow.

Make or break year for James Cunningham. I'd like to see him crack top grade with some strong performances in NSW cup.

 

[lsz]

Is it just me or have none of the forwards listed above not kicked on? Only sims has and he was a winger?

I saw Cunningham play in the trials. Very impressive.

Beaver played wing in a schoolboy test v the kiwis

I read somewhere that Mitch Jowett is a strengthening coach for the Manly club.

 

[Stevo]

Very true @[Eaglette Fan]

[Fluffy]

that NSW cup side looks as strong as i can remember.

Unlike the last few years we have a few players with a bit of NRL experience and a few that will be pushing hard in each position to keep those above honest.

The best thing and what you need to win a premiership (even the storm need this now) is a few young ones coming through that can have the breakthrough year - Hiku, Chee-kam etc

 

[The Who]

Looks fantastic on paper. Good test as the Kiwis are always big and good in the lower grades and Toyota Cup.
