As for Jake and Keppie, both playing as middle forwards. I think Keppies role wont change. Maybe Jake having the 10 on his back is more a mindset thing about thinking run first pass second.

Also from reading into a few interviews with Seibs I reckon he sees Paseka as his project. Really likes him

Tuipulotu and Sipley named in the 17,but I thought last weeks team was an indication they weren’t going to play in the top team,well according to many on Silvertails anyway.It’s like this and last week were some sort of trial match or something that don’t really mean anything come RD1.Oh look Cooper Johns is playing 7,he must be taking DCE’s spot for the first game
Well yeah it is an indication both last week and this week. Clearly we are keeping the 1, 7 and 9 in cotton wool or they are nursing small injuries ( we know Tom is). This selection shows us who the favourites will be if they are out. Sipley probably needs the fitness so thats why he played last week.

Obviously things can change but it certainly is an indication of what Sebiold is planning.
 
No Harper. Might mean an announcement in the offing?
EDIT - just spotted him among the reserves!

Excellent, get to see Weeks, Tong, Burbo, Fifita, Fainu and Fulton in top company.
 
What's the rules with this? is it like a regular trial with unlimited interchange and can put any of the 24 on when you want? Or is it NRL rules because of the challenge?

I was being facetious and referring to those here on ST who came to the conclusion last week that Tuipulotu and Sipley must be starting the season in reserve grade because they were playing with that team.Yes it is an indication but I’d be surprised if Aloiai is in the 21 jersey come Rd1

I think a lot of us really like the big fella but they just need to find the "on" switch with no dimmer.
