I'm hopeless at YARTS , the King of them is @Ryan and in recent times @Turbo1 so come on everyone , it's two weeks to run, we know the injures ( only Darcy is of major concern ), give me your best shot.

Brookvale round 1, what's our 17?
 
As per yesterday, except Kelly for Wright. I think Wright would be kicking himself, he really had an opportunity and although he was mostly solid he did not nail it.

Apparently chez, Api and walkers been going good at kicking said baz. Don't think wright will make the side as I favour Kelly, or at least Parker over him.
 
As for the YART, well I've been bloody waiting for one of these to spring up again! Anyway here it goes (as you can see I'm quite undecided for now)

1. Tom Trbojevic
2. Jorge Taufua
3. Dylan Walker
4. Brian Kelly
5. Akuila Uate
6. Blake Green
7. Daly Cherry-Evans
8. Darcy Lussick (Rd 1, AFB/Myles)
9. Api Korisau
10. Nate Myles/AFB
11. Marty Taupau
12. Curtis Sironen
13. Jake Trbojevic
INTERCHANGE
14. Jackson Hastings/Cam Cullen
15. Lloyd Perrett/Brenton Lawrence
16. AFB/Nate Myles
17. Shaun Lane

Api Koroisou, Lewis Brown, Frank Wintertstein, Matthew Wright, Jonathan Wright, Jarrad Kennedy, Pita Godinet, Joey Lussick, Brad Parker, Peter Schuster & Tom Wright to all start in Blacktown for now.

When Darcy returns, one of Perrett, Lane or Myles drop off the bench, Darcy starts and Lawrence goes back to the bench.

No room in your 17 for Brenton Lawrence? Didn't he start last night?

Sorry about quoting myself. But could you imagine them panning to the bench to see 3 monsters and CC? Hahahaha.

Ryan that is a good looking side however I think Api will get the nod over Hastings who I hope will at least be on the bench. I also think based on some comments about Hus game last night Winterstein will have a bench spot.
 
Turbo
Schuster (there I've said it)
Kelly
Walker
Jorge (injury?)
Green
DCE
AFB
Api
Myles
Siro
Kapow
Turbo

Hastings/Brown (I'm pretty ambivalent, also Cullen eventually)
BJ
Winterstein
Perrett or Lane
 
Completely not a fan of Winterstein. He looked amazing in the 9's (fast, strong, mobile), but the snippet I saw last year was completely uninspiring. Lethargic almost (very Jorge Taufua'esque). I'd put Lane in front of him, who's time in 1st grade to date, has been pretty amazing (I find it strange The Warriors couldn't find a spot for him).

Sironen is far and beyond both of them as well.

I like your YART, but bet it wont happen, sort of agree with @SeaEagleRock8 , maybe Kelly in for Wright but otherwise same as last night, with Lussick to come back in to the run on side when he's back.
 
You can bet that MWSE will build up the announcement of the round 1 side like the red carpet at the Oscars, possibly even a count down clock (imagine that).

From what I've seen of Jono Wright he's a turnstile in defence, so like many on here I'm hoping they give young Kelly a run, chuck em in the deep end I reckon.
 
What I think our round 1 team will be:
  1. T Trbojevic
  2. Uate
  3. Walker
  4. Kelly
  5. Tafua
  6. Green
  7. DCE
  8. Lawrence
  9. Koroisau
  10. Tapau
  11. Winterstein
  12. Sironen
  13. J Trbojevic
----------------------
14. Brown
15. Myles
16. AFB
17. Kennedy

------------------
When back from injury:
- Lussick
- Perrett
------------------
At some point in the year my best team is:
  1. T Trbojevic
  2. Parker
  3. Walker
  4. Kelly
  5. Tafua
  6. Green
  7. DCE
  8. Lussick
  9. Hastings
  10. Lawrence
  11. Tapau
  12. Sironen
  13. J Trbojevic

14. Koroisau

16. AFB

For me hastings has to be in the team either as hooker or utility.

Hard to say what baz will do as he is returning from ankle surgery and prob hasn't trained a whole lot at hooker.

And for that very reason he'll go with Api, but gee I'd like to see maybe Cullen or Hastings (or both in different weeks) get a run as I think they offer more than Api.
 
One thing we can say - how about our bloody depth this year. Who is in / out aside, we are looking strong, even in the event of injury. And I feel that's the silver lining from last season. Some players have advanced, when they might not have normally otherwise.

Great job. Think you pretty well nailed it.
If Jorge is injured I can see Kelly getting his start on the wing next week.

Baz has give a pretty good suggestion Hastings will get game time in reggies and work his way back, which you've nailed.

Only others I can see being bolters. Kennedy which you've nailed.

And Cullen for Brown. Brown has the goat photos so you've gone the percentage play. Personally I'd like to see Cullen get the nod next week. Reward for what he has achieved. Looks in great form 9's and hearing great things about him at trials.

Bigger picture Lewis Brown having to find some fire in the belly and produce, fighting for his a grade spot, can only help us over this long season ahead.

Baz put Cullen in the hooker spot for API in the second half and brown second row for frank maybe a sign
 
I'd like to see this team (not taking injuries into account):-
Tom T
A Uate
D Walker
B Kelly
J Taufua
B Green
DCE
N Myles
A Koroisau
D Lussick
M Taupau
C Sironen
Jake T
RES:
AFB, J Hastings, S Lane, B Lawrence
Waiting for an opportunity:
L Perrett, F Winterstein, C Cullen, P Schuster, B Parker, B Bainbridge,
L Brown, J Kennedy, M Wright, J Wright, T Wright, J Lussick, O Slaimankel,
J Hopoate, T Amone, P Godinet, plus plus plus.........I think pretty good for a team everyone is writing off as having having no chance or depth!
