If so, what a massive bonus. Manly is due some good luck on the injury front, so is Roache, so ... fingers crossed!
Be a good one, talked to mate who goes for eels as said he played well when fit and would apply pressure to Croker
Yeah but .. there-in lies the irony ... for Nat to get a run on his train and replacement contract ... doesn't someone have to get a serious injury ??
Can the @The Wheel or someone with contacts at the club please get an explanation of his contract .. Thanks
I have posted something around the rules before on T and R players but can can’t find the post, essentially from memory that is correct ie they can come into the squad if there is a injury issues and no other options in that position in the Top 30 list.

Surely they are not just training, they are trialling.. for a contract, what else!
What you say sounds right if we had a full squad of 30. Currently the club site shows 29 (but it does seem to change quite frequently so who knows?
The other thing I vaguely recall is you may be able to draft in someone out of the top 30 if you have no-one left who plays that position.

My guess is that they could be playing for BWSE?
He has a contract for 2023, that was the announcement ... he is not a train and trial ... they are different. ... He is on a train and replacement contract for 2023 .

Yep,if it is true that Johns is taking the 30th spot then unless we upgrade him to a spot in the 30 which would require moving someone on then he can only play in an emergency if it is before a specific round number(can't remember which round).
I believe we would have to plead our case to use him.

Anyone know why he hasn’t played any trials?
No ... but I am hoping after this 2nd trial we get confirmation of exactly who is in our top 30 ... who is on a development contract ... and WTF a train and replacement contract means ....
Because at the moment I have no idea ...
Somebody said that Gordie was elevated to the top 30 for 2024 ... still development 2023 ..
2024 it is. So a development player and cant play until round 11.

I'm similarly surprised Troy Dargen hasn't had a run in either trial. Both returning from major injury. May just not be ready yet. Prefer the club give em more time if any doubt.

Noticed that Roache was one of the Sea Eagles who was going to shave his head for Bear Cottage, so he must still be in the fold.

Several Manly Warringah Sea Eagles players have thrown down a fundraising challenge to shave their heads in support of Bear Cottage.
