2023 Team

[Bearfax]

Crap news on Turbo, but really hoping that Seibold gives Weekes a good run at the fullback spot in the preseason. Also, assuming that Lawton won't be fit by round one so would love to see GCKT and Humphreys given a shot at utility as well.

[Eagle 1]

Lawton strikes me as the type of player who is most suited to a 9 or 2 nd row role . Though apparently someone has mentioned that he has had some experience in the halves so would assume would also have some ball playing skills as well and being just a good natural footy player , no doubt could play as a 13 . Again doubt however if he would be that effective there at N R L level for long periods . Agree that very unlikely two utility type players on the bench , Will be a while before Lawton is available so could be a few bench options and not to discount Roache but then he is still on a train and trial deal i think so who knows . Weekes will be pressing for a spot somewhere in the top line up which can only be a good thing , just like extending his contract relatively soon , all things well

Lawton is that sort of a player you need coming of the bench, livewire and choc full of energy. And also love his white line fever mentality. Don't think he's coming back till June anyway, unfortunately.

I see Lawton definitely being a regular coming off the bench, hopefully he has a full recovery and gets back sooner than later.
I would also like to see the young guys all have a crack at first grade next year - young Koula got a break last year and made the most of it. Im sure Weekes, GCKT and Humphreys will all get some opportunity "I Hope"

Weeks will at least get a bench spot as the sole reserve back, anyway. May even get a shot at FB, if Tommy can't make the first round, and a bit of doubt on Garrick, coming of a shoulder opp as well.

Doubt Condon would get thrown in ahead of Sipley unless he has a stunning pre-season, he'll have to earn it in reserves I'd say.
Would love to see Bully have a break out year, he has the goods physically, hope he is desperate enough.

Garrick seems to be doing ok shoulder wise based on those recent training shots of him lifting weights in the gym. But there's a lot of water to go under the proverbial before the season starts. it will be very interesting to see where the new coaching line up see players like Parker, Harper, Koula, Garrick, Weekes fitting into the team ......... if at all.

 

[Adz]

The 2 Fainu brothers and Lawton have been added to website profiles.
Makes 29 and the 4 dev contract players,obviously leaves one spot left unless some are moved on.

 

[ManlyTragic]

He has the nose for it. Be worth seeing how he goes in a trial.

He might even sniff out a try

Just sayin’

If at all? Garrick & Koula are certainties......

I can't see the current coaching brains trust tying themselves down to Des's ideas as to ability. If Condon puts it in during the off season and performs well in the trials he is likely to make the 17 and possibly in the middle. None of our props set the world on fire last season.

 

[Seagles68]

Yep, I was thinking more Parks and Harps.

Yep, I really think so many spots are genuinely up for grabs.

Possible, for sure. I'm just thinking 55 games NRL experience for Toff and a slow-burn steady improver, versus a young bloke with potential but only 12 NRL games to his name - and none in 2022.

We all have a different perspective and this is why it makes our forum interesting and more entertaining

Another perspective into our prospective 2023 team is this

It does not not matter how many NRL games you have played in 2022 or in your NRL career

What matters most to secure a spot in the 2023 team should be the form you bring into the 2023 season

The moral of the story
The most dominant performers create the most dominant team

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Todays version of the 2023 NRL squad
The 5/8 is too young to play NRL. And the only back-up hooker won’t be fit till June.
Aside from that, a well-balanced squad, lol. I guess C Johns will be confirmed soon.

3 Fullbacks [KO, Koula, Turbo]

4 Wing [CT, Garrick, Saab, Vaega]

2 Centre [Parks, Harps]

1 5/8 [Latu]

1 Half [some guy]

9 Prop [too many to list, does not include Jake]

1 Hooker [Crokes]

6 Second row [Condon, Haumole, Lawton, Tuilagi, Burbo, and … Schuster]

2 lock [Jake, Zac]

I'm over this, our Squad list changes weekly, you could be in one week then out the next. I'll wait the week before rd1 to see who really is in the 30 man squad and the Blacktown team.
