Roosters vs Manly trial team lists

[Guest]

Round 1 bench (2 x Props/ 1 x Hooker/ 1 x Back Row)

Maubs is a must on the bench (Utility value) as cover for Hooker and Back Row.
McIlwrick unlikely to do 80 minutes,

Won't be from lack of fitness, he's a freak when it comes to training

Couple of questions:
1. When Jake returns, will there still be a need for a back up hooker? (I mean when he returns to full fitness)
2. How many minutes will Maubs play off the bench?

The team announced is our squad minus Friend, Meehan & Langi, all good.

I think TR would pretty much know who his best 17 are, it's just a matter of watching those that will be called upon if there is injury or rep footy to the top 17.

Robbo has nailed to the team for mine, Fergo @ centre and skids on the wing was always the hard but right call and Liu @ lock for mine is a great choice. I reckon he's nailed the bench too.

There'd be an argument for bring in Evans/Meehan for Hastings depending on variables such as the opposition & weather but atm I'd be stoked to see that as our Rd 1 side. Exactly what I'd pick.

Friend will make queerslands bench this year if fit.

Relax guys, the team is settled minus a few performance based changes.

I'm just praying for no injuries .. Touch wood! Do we play the Foundation Cup anymore?

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Looking forward to this clash...although only a trial it pits two strong clubs close to full strength trying to set a small platform at least for the year.

Scoreboard doesn't matter but conduct does. Three grades and improving weather forecast make it worthwhile.

Will make the short trip and camping in Bay 7 I think.

No mini sbw or Jake....tough stuff for us this year...time to step up.

Not in the trials anymore. Last year the Foundation Cup game was when we beat the Tigers 30-6 at home in May.

I think that this will be our starting lineup for round one . Makes sense to have Maubs on bench. We need a backrower to cover for our backrow as I don't think that all three of Cordner che and Liu can play for 80 mins. I like Liu at lock.I think he can develop into a good player. Interesting to see how McIlwrick goes.

Why can't Cordner play 80 minutes just like he did on many occasions last year?

[davos]

He can. But I'd bet MLK's left tit that all three together can't play 80 minutes.

[Kingsgrove-Loiner]

He can. But I'd bet MLK's left tit that all three together can't play 80 minutes.

I reckon that both Cordner and Guerra will be able to play longer minutes this season, now they don't have to do half Frank Paul the Lazy Bastard's work for him.....

If Liu is going to be lock, he'll take pressure off those 2 in that regard.

im really hoping we don't get the cyclonic rain from qld for the trial, people get hurt in the rain? on a dry night this promises to be a pretty good game?I only sit in the rain to watch from the chookpen at Allianz not away games!
