Seibold Selection Surprises - 2023

[Mark from Brisbane]

First team list is run and done.
Pretty much as predicted.

Suprised to see Bully in 17 over toff.
He might have got some "goat photos" from siebs time in brissy

I was also hoping Gordo 3 surnames would be named in the 17 loved the way he played in the trials I'm sure his time will come.

I hope siebs aka my mate Spoony has got the memo about how much we fans hate the bulldogs and this is TMIGOTY

I think Bully might be a little more “ mobile “ than Toff , that’s all I can think.

Also is a 2nd rower .. and covers centre

Mate this is silvertails. It just has to be the goat photos.

That was Des , Seibs doesn’t do goats

There's a saying what happens in The Vallley stays in the Valley... except herpes :d

Bully earned that reserve spot in my opinion.
Theres no more hiding behind the "coach didn't use him right"
Time to rip in.

Ok Im confused....
I see the name Gordon Chan Kum Tong on reserves list
I thought he was not allowed to be selected till rd11
Does anyone have any info on this ?
Maybe Im just behind the times

Seems like the past week that people think they know the rule, but you know ?
Rules can change.
Rules are there to be broken.
Who knows ?

There was a very obvious clue that would happen - the consolation captaincy in the first trial.

Exactly it's the NRL , rules are always changed !

They probably reason that if they don't tell fans how things work then they won't have to answer questions each time they change things. (Or each time they apply rules unevenly)

exactly. throw rule confusion in that pile as well. no one knows the rules dead set anymore and thats helpful for the NRL

Surely if he cant play.. we cant register him even as a reserve? If we can.. why arent we playing him.

I realise trials are trials, but his explosiveness is obvious and though the Croke has been Solid, we could maybe introduce him off the bench after croker handles the physical early exchanges and the game offers tiring middles....an area we have lacked badly and the parcel has just arrived at our doorstep and just needs to be opened.
There's no doubt our New coaching staff recognise his ability and he is in the spotlight snapping at heels for a top 17 spot and will no doubt get opportunity in 2023.

Maybe Gordie can play but gets listed in the 22 in case Croker does down so we can apply for dispensation??

Lord knows, would be great to get clarity

Possibly, but the nrl would expect us to have no other hooking options first. Lawman is returning, and who knows whats doing with roache but i would expect they would also need to be injured. If weekes plays 14 successfully they may even argue he is an option depending on where he is selected at the time

Does it seem that the players act allot more happier since Des has left.

He was like the “ Hermit Kingdom “

happier unsure.
maybe manlys media department looks better resourced and more in touch with what fans want.
nice for the off season, but winning is what ultimately makes fans happy

if we bottom out there will be calls that we were too playful and not serious enough
