Lane and Tango can play middle.

Lane and Tanginoa can run those middle Corridors so the central area will be fine and the fresh new faces could hold the key to the 2018 season, expected but good to see.
Like AFB starting, as now has more minutes in him and Thompson simply makes the pack look harder.....Fainu tipped to fight for an impact spot.....Mark from Bris - ya happy now!!
SER8 - you beat me to it....after I post look up and prop rotation done...

 

[The Wheel]

Notice no number 18 named / could be a late addition?? (Carney?)

The Good...
Great to see young players get rewarded for producing the goods
Great to see players that are past it moved on
The Bad ....
Our weakness is the centre pairing of an inexperienced player with average utility back up player .
Our centre pair is the weakest in the comp
The Ugly ....
Yours truly BOZO

Got the makings of a really good side there [ even missing Walker ] if they can all click and if Uate and Jorge can provide that extra impetus from their wing ruck runs . Some pretty decent players still in the Black Town squad as well . Certainly some very mobile and athletic forwards on the i st grade bench .

How did Tom Wright go last week against the Sharks?

Yep the centres look weak.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Centres don't look weak to me, especially considering our No. 1 is still unavailable.
In fact, whatever shortcomings Matt Wright may have, weakness is not one of them.

It 's still only a trial and still some opportunity for the likes of Parker and Tom Wright to make a case for promotion . Carney could well be in Manly colours soon also of course . I wonder if Loko is still with Black Town

 

[BOZO]

How did Tom Wright go last week against the Sharks?

He played like a young player that needed more time to adjust to the NRL level . I thought we would make a bigger impact with all his natural speed and skill but at the same time he was not given good ball and space to finish any try opportunities . Physically he looked strong enough , Defensively he was pushed off once but came back to complete the tackle and I also remember a one on one strip where he made a good run . You can see the highlights here .....

Walker is out of action and he does not count at the moment
They are weak as compared to all the other centres in the comp
That's the measuring stick

Interesting that Perrett is playing reserve grade. I thought he looked sluggish last week and Tanginoa was probably the second best player on the field after AFB. Good stuff

 

[The Royal Soup]

Fantastic

No Poo

 

[rifraff]

Since Perrett is a rotation prop at best it might be a case of him playing reserves just to get more game time.

 

[40 years an eagle]

I thought he looked sluggish last week

Didn't Perrett play almost a full game in reggies before backing up for 1st grade?

Please stop letting the facts get in the way of a good ol' player bagging.
