Matt wright
Brad parker
Dylan walker
Brian kelly
Aku uate
Lachlan croker
Daly cherry evans
Marty tapau
Api
Afb
Joel thompson
Frank Winterstein
Jake t

Bench

Matt Wright
Tom Wright

Aku uate
Lachlan croker
Daly cherry evans
Marty tapau
Api
Afb
Joel thompson
Jetski
Jake t

Bench
Jacko
Shaun lane
Perrett
Winterstein

If form means anything JetSki should get the back row spot.

I may be way off with Tom Wright on the wing.
From what we seen in the trials he is not ready for a centre spot.
He is as talented as Turbo and you just have to find a place for those kind of kids.
I may be way wrong. But at the top level, I have a suspicion wing could really suit.

Darcy was known as the Army of One.
Now with our attrition rate, Darcy may realize his destiny 😛

Good to hear that he is seeing out his contract 🙂

Yer he is just what we need at the moment with a few injuries. Walker might be back this week as well , so some good news.

Damn straight it is.
Just watching the replay now.

M.Wright is a really, really solid player.
Seems to just simply do his job to the best of his ability. You know exactly what you will get, every time.
Hopefully whoever gets a gig on that left wing can be as dependable as M.Wright.

Trouble is to win a game these days you can't just be safe. You have to have the ability to create magic like Turbo does. I hope he just doesn't plod around and not find the right gap at the right time. Don't get me wrong I think he's a handy player but I'm just sayin

Can I refer you to the Broncos victory over the Tigers in round 3.
That was the definition of winning by playing "safe"

We all have different view and I can see where your coming from but I would rather go in a big close game with a game breaker than a "safety" pin journey man .
Just my view as this is what this wonderful forum is for feathered friend

I hope wright gets a start for you mate , not so sure about this season . If so when is the right time to bring him in ? Now when we are a bit short in the backs or when we are at our strongest off the bench .

I suppose when I advocate going for a safety pin journeyman over a game breaker you may have a point.

I was simply refuting Qldeagles position that to win games you "cant just be safe ". The Broncos are an example of team's winning games by playing "safe"...9-7 over the Tigers without scoring a try.

I do love it when you read my posts, decide their meaning as the complete opposite to my intended, post a meme or two, quote a saying from optimists anonymous, and take the high ground.

Tom has loads of pace and ability that few players poses
Natural ability with added confidence does wonders for young gifted players
and coaches are the ones that can bring out the best in those players by believing in them and adding confidence to their ability which is a lethal combination .
Tom Wright is a dangerous gun . He just needs a coach to believe in him ,load him up with confidence and send him out on the field to kill .
Tom Wright is the most dynamic young player I have seen since Phil Blake

It is easy to misread posts feathered friend . I don't intend to take the high ground . I just offer my view like we all do .
I hope that is self explanatory @:)

The comparison with Blakey is a really good one. I agree with you 100 per cent on this one. Get him in the side out on a wing and just let him do his thing.
