Round 1 team

[Red.]

1. It likely explains why I saw JWH going down Driver Ave on an e-scooter last year. Though, IMO it's pretty poor that they don't get proper parking. Isn't there still a temp carpark or something?

They park in the car park at the Entertainment Quarter. It's a 10 minute stroll to Roosters HQ. I used to park there myself when I worked at an office in the Frank Hurley Grandstand.

I just hope we're fit enough to play hard for the full 80 minutes as Maguire has been flogging the Broncos at training.

How do you flog a bunch of flogs?

Let them burn themselves out in the pre season.

I hope Toia gets picked for rd 1

I’ve wandered down to watch them train a couple times in December Mickey . Toia looks really strong and Billy is massive . I swear if Billy stays fit he’ll be in a Aussie jersey soon . Toia and Smith will be our centres . Young is the one to be worried . Mark N and Toops are our best wingers .

[MKCS]

I think that Pauga would probably be third choice now at centre. Toia or Mark N will probably fill the centre position to start the season, Leniu will go on the bench as well I think, apart from that I agree with OP.

[Thirteen]

Billy Smith if fit, will be our starting centre and first one chosen. There is no doubt.

Good problem to have
need guys fighting for positions and depth so they don’t get to comfortable
Billy smith was in front of Suaali in pre season until he got injured for Vegas, came back a few weeks later then got injured again

he and toia could be a very formidable centre paring

Marky N will be there somewhere, although young still has some things to improve his speed and try scoring ability is insane and hard to drop

[Renman]

Robbo may go with a rotating squad until injuries catch up with us.

Agree with Lockie, Billy S if fit possible blue jumper me thinks.

[Thirteen]

Our top 18 are okay but it’s slim pickings after that. We have very little first grade standard depth. If we get a few injuries we are in trouble. We will be forced to promote players who aren’t yet ready for first grade.

[Mickie Lane]

The biggest worry will be when Teddy gets injured.

100%. I wonder what the plan is for second string fullback? Even during the game if Teddy goes down? From what I see there is no obvious choice in our top 17?

I might be remembering incorrectly but I think Watson played some fullback for the Knights at some point as an injury cover. so he'd probably get the nod if Teddy went down in a game, not sure who the long term injury replacement would be for Teddy if that happened though.

Let’s not put the mocker on him Mickie, he has been pretty durable for a while now.

[HunchoRooster]

If we all think that Toia and Billy Smith are locks, who misses out in the backline?

Is Ethan King ready to step up to NRL level?
