Look, it was a very tight angle.
But a big target ...
My little man Fainu might get a run after all!

He’s a good one that kid... I reckon you might be on the money with this one Mark. You’re due, that’s for sure.
But based on my calls over the last few years I just hope I haven’t put the mock on the kid!

He will expunge your Blake Leary praise off the record.
I praised him ( Blake Leary) and then Matt Parcell, both whom I’d seen in QCup games and thought they were destined to be above average players.
Sorry Blake, Sorry Matt

On a serious note , Blake Leary did perform quite well at Q cup level but did not quite have the playing attributes to go to the next level at N R L . Spent last season at the Townsville Black Hawks and was in the Cowboys extended playing list apparently . Think that he may have moved to another Q cup team for next season . Also I thought that Matt Parcell was outstanding in the Q cup competition and in one match , i think that he scored four tries . Whether through injuries or his playing style in the N R l , did not seem to produce his best form or ability but i still rate him .

Nah... it was his chip kick from dummy half on the fifth tackle that sealed he’s a dud for me.
Didn't Blake get a knee from Mason in the back (and cracked it)? That can't help your NRL progression very much.

Sometime this year for sure, round 1 possibly not. Do think Baz will play it safe and p off a lot of people playing his normal utility, the only other option is Hastings in case Croker has a shocker.
Just thinking out side the square ...
Sirro has played 5/8 and any 5/8 should handle the hooking role .
We have quality back rowers on the bench to fill in for Sirro if he is requires to fill in at hooker .
I didn't think Fainu was out of his depth in the trial against the Sharks and a big performance against the Roosters could make Trent think twice .
I wish I could attend the Roosters game to see how the boys go but unfortunately I wont be able to .
Bight your tongue feathered friend !!!

Manly forward Kelepi Tanginoa may be the strongest man in rugby league

MEET the man giving Marty Taupau a run for his money in the gym and making a play for the title of rugby league’s strongest man.
Manly forward Kelepi Tanginoa has forced his way onto Manly’s interchange bench for Friday’s round-one clash with Newcastle at a packed McDonald Jones Stadium after some impressive preseason performances.
“He has most of the club records — he has broken them all,” Sea Eagles teammate Addin Fonua-Blake said.
BENCHED: Austin out of Canberra’s starting side
SQUADS: Who’s in for Round 1?
Standing at just 180cm and weighing 103kg, second-rower Tanginoa has bench pressed 185kg but could “easily” push through the 200kg barrier, according to Manly’s head of physical performance, Dan Ferris.
He can dead lift a staggering 300kg and also completed a 260kg back squat just last week.
Tanginoa’s name is all over the Sea Eagles’ gymnasium honour board and left teammates, used to seeing powerhouse Taupau dominate in the gym, stunned.
Tanginoa could challenge Martin Taupau as league’s strongest man.
Manly have tapped into Tanginoa’s incredible natural strength, partnering him alongside 190cm, 112kg monster Taupau in the gym
Ferris believes Tanginoa, who played 17 NRL games for Parramatta and North Queensland before joining the Sea Eagles last year, could surpass Taupau’s 190kg bench press.
“Kelepi is our strongest now, pound for pound, he is a powerhouse,” Ferris said.
“He could have a 200kg bench press easily if we pushed it.”
Fonua-Blake added: “He won’t tell you the truth, I think he out-lifts Marty. Kelepi is the best in the team for lifting weights.
“He is strong, powerful and fast — he’s a big block of units. I know he could lift 200kg easily.”
Having failed to lock down a regular first-grade position, despite debuting for Parramatta in 2013, the Sea Eagles believe they’ve found the key to unlocking Tanginoa’s potential.
“He is the type of athlete you can’t put a limit on,” Ferris said.
Tanginoa joined Manly midway through last season.
“From day one he turned up and absolutely ripped in.
“Him and Marty go back and forth and push each other — it’s been great for Marty to have some competition actually. We have pushed them both this year and Kelepi has shone through. He has increased his strength and his fitness.
“Marty is definitely one of our strongest but right alongside him now is Kelepi, who has a natural strength but also trains well. He had that raw potential, we just had to capture it.”
Tanginoa, 24, told The Daily Telegraph he was driven in the gym by Taupau.
“I like to train with Marty a lot — he is so strong, such a big bloke,” Tanginoa said. “He pushes me to lift more and we keep each other competitive. He is the strongest in the NRL.
“I have lifted 185kg. Marty lifts the same, maybe a bit more. I have tried to knuckle down this preseason. I feel as fit and strong as I ever have.
“Strength plays a big part of our game in the middle. You have to have strength and power. It’s vital. I pride my game on running hard and tackling hard.
“It would be good to run out against Newcastle. I want to take this opportunity. I have been on the fringes of the NRL for a couple of years so I haven’t ‘got there’ yet. I want to take it with both hands and go all out.
“I want to prove to myself that I deserve to have a spot and to show my ability. I want to do my thing. I just want to rip in with a bit of heart, that’s all that matters to me.”

Leary and Parcell both did excel at Qcup level like many cup players do but who is to know how they will go in the NRL unless they get a go ?
