I'm under the impression the boys might be a bit underdone, not quite match fit. I love our depth in our squad especially cause there so young. I think we got a team that can really push for a tittle, if not this year definitely next. But I feel that Brian Smith should of played a full strength side from the word go in the foundation cup. Yes playing young blokes is great but I feel one week out they need a good hit out, get the intensity up especially with a week of no games before Souffs. Tigers played near full strength an yes they lost but they got a hard fought game. Last year round 1 we feel asleep dropped the intensity an nearly lost. I think Smithy played the wrong card an should of ran the squad near enough to what he wanted to put out there round 1. But how good is our future!

I dont think we will have too much of a disadvantage... I'd say of the players that were left out, only Anasta and JWH will play round 1 (i dont see SKD of Marty playing) and JWH at least got rid of some cobwebs in the All Stars match. Plus I dont think inglis or merrett got a run for the bunnies, which evens it up a bit.
I agree with you on our depth though, its exciting seeing some of the players that will be playing in a Newtown jersey... I think we are in pretty good stead for the future and if injuries play a big part in our season

Originally posted by phantom View PostNot according to him yesterday, he still thinks he is a few rounds off yet, SKD is pretty confident of playing round 1 but they will not push him due to the injury.
Cherro is due back sometime between round 6 and 10 at this stage...

I suppose most of our top squad would have played just about as much footy as the top squads from other sides during the trails.
Why risk injury in a trail game. I'm happy they only play limited minutes in trials.
As for Kennedy, it's a bit of a worry that he still isn't right for footy.
