SEA EAGLES

Predicted Round 1 team
: 1. Tom Trbojevic 2. Jason Saab 3. Tolutau Koula 4. Reuben Garrick 5. Tommy Talau 6. Luke Brooks 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Taniela Paseka 9. Lachlan Croker 10. Josh Aloiai 11. Haumole Olakau’atu 12. Ben Trbojevic 13. Jake Trbojevic 14. Jake Simpkin 15. Nathan Brown 16. Siosiua Taukeiaho 17. Jazz Tevaga

Analysis: Tom Trbojevic is a lock at fullback when he returns from a shoulder injury in the trials, with Jason Saab back from an ankle injury on the wing and accompanied by Tommy Talau, who just edges out Lehi Hopoate. Toulutau Koula and Reuben Garrick will get first crack in the centres, but Hopoate will also be keeping them honest, while Luke Brooks and Daly Cherry-Evans are certain starters in the halves. Taniela Paseka and Josh Aloiaiwill be the starting front row with Lachlan Croker at hooker. Haumole Olakau’atu will be joined by Ben Trbojevic in the second row full-time after Karl Lawton’s departure to the Cowboys, while Jake Trbojevic will be the lock.Jake Simpkin will edge Gordon Chan Kum Tong for first crack at the utility role, but boom half Joey Walsh could also get a chance at some stage. Nathan Brown and recruits Jazz Tevaga and Siosiua Taukeiaho round out the bench.

No Hoppa, no way.
 
One article just repeating an earlier one. I wouldn't be getting worried Still a month before trials. I doubt even the coach has his best 17 set yet this year.
Oh no worry, these articles are absolutely meaningless.

As you say, a whole heap of pre season and trials to go.

It is moreso just a humorous insight into the quaity of sports journalism these days.
 
No Hoppa, no way.
Really ? - Its time to get Jake out of lock and make hime one of the props, rotating with Bully and rotate Tent and Taukeaho, Simkins in for Froggy and Hoppa number 14 Navale into lock with the others fighting hard for top 17 positions
 
Lolz, again....Bully will be there
Bull is an interesting player but Manly has bolstered its forward depth a bit, so at age 25 Bully needs to take it up another notch if he's to be sure of a bench spot.
Can anyone remember him ever making a dominant tackle? (He'll probably need more aggression even to succeed in the world of high finance!)
I realise he adds impact with his leg speed, but even Beaver used to occasionally buckle attackers with a perfectly timed legal hit. Time to ditch the polite demeanour Mr Bull and get a bit raging I think!
