Next week against the roosters no injuries, give the first grade squad 40 minutes then rest them and give the first half squad who rain out tonight a run.
How good having the footy back.
Now the rest of the weekend becomes enjoyable after us winning on a Friday night

Cooper Johns stars in Manly debut as Seibold era off to fast start but Souths teen has ‘night out’
Cooper Johns has starred in his Manly debut and ensured the Anthony Seibold era began with a 30-28 victory over the Rabbitohs on Friday night.
Souths teenager Dion Teaupa lit up the first half with the crafty No. 6 scoring two tries, but Johns responded emphatically.
The Bunnies struck first in Gosford thanks to a sensational grubber from Teaupa and finish from Tom Carr.
Souths charged down field with a break from fullback Blake Taaffe before Teaupa put a beautiful kick in for Carr to cross in the corner.
“Nice kick, nice chase, nice put down, good stuff from the young Bunnies,” Dan Ginnane said on Fox League.
Carr scored 22 tries in 23 games for North Sydney in the NSW Cup last season and is fighting for a spot on Souths’ wing this season.
Manly struck thanks a class ball from Storm recruit Johns who threw a pinpoint pass for Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega to score with an acrobatic finish.
“A lovely floating pass over the top, he summed it up beautifully and a great finish,” Mick Ennis said.
“Cooper Johns, what a start it’s been for him.”
Teaupa scored the Rabbitohs second try in the 13th minute when he grubbered to himself and collected the ball off the upright.
“He has landed that absolutely perfectly and he’s full of confidence,” Ennis said.
Carr crunched Ben Trbojevic in the 17th minute but the latter still managed to get the pass away to Christian Tuipulotu who was held up in the corner.
“Just look at the desperation here, it’s great catch and pass and skill under pressure from Ben Trbojevic,” Ennis said.
“Tuipulotu is hard to handle close to the line and that is great desperation defence from South Sydney.”
The Rabbitohs turned defence into attack as Taaffe and Teaupa combined again for the teenager to score his second.
“Teaupa is having a night out the young man. He is playing with some confidence, he’s fit, he’s fast and his decision making on the dge has been superb.
“He’s making a name for himself tonight and that’s the great thing of this time of year. On the big stage and under the bright lights he looks right at home.”
Tuaimalo Vaega scored his second when he burrowed between two defenders and slammed the ball down in the 30th minute.
“Just too strong and powerful close to the line, didn’t hesitate did he,” Ennis said.
Manly fullback Jake Toby darted out of dummyhalf from close range and somehow beat three defenders to dot down a soft try.
They then made it three tries in five minutes as Johns put through a grubber for Zac Fulton to score under the posts.
“I thought it was scrappy, we finished really well but let in a few easy tries in, overall a really good start,” Johns said at halftime.
Taaffe put up a bomb in the 46th minute and chased his own kick to score after receiving a bat back from Richard Kennar.
“They is as good as you will see throughout the year, great skill,” Ginnane said.
Manly squared things up when Toby crossed for his second after backing up nicely but Johns missed the sideline conversion to take the lead.
Souths winger Leone Te Hau was binned in the 67th minute for a lifting tackle that concussed Fletcher Myers and the Sea Eagles quickly made them pay.
Fast hands down the left edge saw Toby set up Cameron Brown cross in the corner and Johns slotted the sideline conversion for a 30-24 lead.
“That’s just class, Manly back in front, that is too good,”
An individual effort from Rabbitohs halfback Jarett Subloo saw him score in the 73rd minute but he missed the conversion to lock up the scores.
Trbojevic enjoyed his best game in Manly colours, finishing with 11 metres from 12 runs playing in the backrow.

Good hit out for the possibles
Cant read too much into that game As most of the first grade side weren’t out there but can certainly see a few getting a run in first grade in Fifita , CKT
Certainly some competition in the back row
All In all the young guys got a shot in turn makes the others wanna play well cause there’s a few that are capable of getting there spots

Newscorp's subeditors (or lack thereof) strike again. Pretty sure he got more than 11 metres from those 12 runs…
Samuela Fainu also looked good without doing anything flashy. Looked like he played the whole game, which is a good sign of his fitness. Fletcher Myers was the other obvious standout - loved the balance in his running and his hands. He could be a really good one.
And yes, Cooper Johns was solid throughout. I was less than thrilled when they signed him, but he showed his value on the field and maybe even more so in the interview after the game. Very confident and easygoing - seems like a good personality to have around the team.
Cooper John’s gives us great depth in the halves. The young Hooker Gorgon was excellent and Fifita is awesome. Lots of potential. Good signs.
