Central Coast trial vs Knights - Teams up

[Vasco]

He did?

Was a Roosters ball boy also.

Yes you could tell in Round 1 last year we were short of a trial. I think Robbo would have learnt a lesson and will mix up their routine leading into the first game. I think its fair enough not to play the travelers this weekend.

We actually lost in Round 1 in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2019.
We won Round 2 in each of those year except 2016 we lost by 1 point.

Penrith are specials.

I notice that Hall is obviously not ready yet and would doubt Robbo would play him in R1 without a hit out so that rules him out

[Bansai Pipeline]

I think the Knights will have a good season.

Adam O'Brien is no slouch.

Maybe Trent doesn’t want to risk him in the trial game. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is fully recovered but needs some training under his belt before the season starts

Looking forward to this game.

It's interesting some people mention guys like Hutch and Ikuvalu with a question mark as to what they might produce. I reckon we already know. They've at least had a few cracks at first grade. Both solid pretty reliable guys who may not win the day with brilliance or talent, but won't let you down. Fill ins when injuries strike for me.

I want to see how Kepaoa and Tuipolotu go. Talented young players signed with a view to future development and promotion.

I've seen the talent that Kepaoa has, but haven't seen Tuips yet.

Not judging Kep too hard tomorrow though. He will be really tested at fullback against a strong NRL spine. Don't hang him if he doesn't set the game alight or makes an error.

Young Lussick was my player of the 9s (for us) and has earned a gig in front of the more experienced Brad Deitz. Good reward.

Also presents an opportunity for some of the lesser known boys to make a statement.

A number of years ago my brother seen a newby at this trial for the Roosters and contacted me to say watch this bloke for the future.

That was SST. He turned out ok.

Wouldn't back to back premierships and another in 2013, after first round losses, suggest he already knows what he is doing with regards to how the team start the season?

If anything Robbo went another level last season by resting players, some more than once, and fielding weakened teams.

[Mickie Lane]

Interesting that again none of our boys will trial before the season. We looked very poor in Round 1 last year with a 1 month break between the WCC and Round 1.

Every year the Roosters have won the comp under Robbo they lose in Rd 1.

Best we don't turn up against the Panthers , no risk of injury and hopefully assure ourselves another GF

Go Panthers!!!!

Brothers I think, and Joey as well.

Thanks Jack. I thought that might be the case as it's not a common name. I remember Joey played for us at one stage too I think.

Yes let’s just treat it as a trial. A good opportunity to put Joey at hooker.

I read all your post about Manu at hooker Thirteen but I don't get it , more a lock for mine , the one sure thing being he will never make it at centre
