This is a retorical question but can anyone explain to me why this 26 man squad hasn't been announced/displayed on the club's website?

Add Lyon, Rose, Matai & the Stewarts and you have our squad

Good, hold him back until Melbourne Round 1...I'll be there...how about you??

80 % chance

The "you" BE was plural...ie everyone

By the way would be fantastic if you were to make it down...we have about 60 going so far (in our group) and there would be others that chose not to join us for whatever reason.....plus some locals so we might end up with 80 and with hangers on maybe 100...so we should have a good time (and make a lot of noise) plus won't it be a thrill to see Snakie run out....he'll certainly get a welcome back Brett sign if he does.

The Jeep banner on the home page says "dont hold back". Jeep is wrong. Hold him back till he is 100% ready or we will have a repeat of last year.

About 30 players there, and then there's the top graders (maybe others?) not playing, so the 26 man squad is a different group.
