[andyvb]

there are talks that sironen is training at 5/8 and may even start. I hope this is a joke

Well if Trex could play at 5/8, then Siro can as well

Barrett has been trying a few, but none more so then Hastings and Croker .

I saw a photo of Hastings training in a no.12 jersey. Does that mean anything?

They were thinking of moving him into the 2nd row to replace siro who will be in the 6.
I’m hearing that jacko may line up next to taupau in the front row now.

Sirro played 5/8 with Benji Marshall in his early Tiger days. He has kicked a few goals in his day too. He seems to be pretty versatile, very happy he is with us.

I'm happy he's with us....as a back rower

I saw Lewis brown wearing the no 14 jumper Does that mean he is first reserve?

Remember when we played the dogs and at the last minute Des shifted Tony to 5/8? They absolutely destroyed us that day and he played the best game he's played all year.

He played half i think .

 

[Woodsie]

You fill find that at training, many players will run the drills in different positions so as to have some practise there in case of several changes needed because of injuries during a game.

He would also be possibly our 3rd string 5/8 choice after Hastings and Croker. He would have to know the plays.

The more I think about it, Hastings is surely the man to get first chance. He has bided his time in reggies for 12 months to "get his head right"
Surely Trent cannot be as cruel as to give him first shot

The thing letting Hastings down will be his reggies form last year ... he just didn't impress. But, he has FG talent and I believe trial form will be 90% of the decision for Baz.

PSS DCE will also have a major say and will be "consulted" as to who he feels more comfortable or confident with taking 6th tackle options.

Agree but all depends on the cap crap at the end of january , whether they continue on for carney.

 

[Shoe1]

I’ve been calling for sirro at 5/8 quietly for 6 weeks. Gives one of the other forwards a chance.

 

[nightster]

He played half i think .

he always played half even when on the field for 80 mins

Interesting option feathered friend . I like thinkers out side the square .

We don't need anyone else, the squad is pretty complementive of each other.
If you watched a few games Jacko played in NRL for Roosters when he first played NRL, you cannot argue he could be anything.
Not knocking the signing of anybody who can play the game, but I feel we are pretty settles

Was meant to say Hodkinson sorry ... To much country music.

Im also happy with jacko mate .

 

[Fluffy]

I would expect all options are being explored and back up plans are being made and trained. Surely we have already played Hastings, Croker, Sirro, M Wright and T wright at 5/8 at times.

 

[HoldenV8]

I still say that I think Hastings will shine in a spine that is DCE, Api, Tom and Jake.

Time will tell though.
