    Billy Smith has been the most improved

    Angus has trimmed down the most

    So far so good
    I wonder if back row and bench is still up for grabs or they have their leading contenders?

    this sounds like smith might be in front for the left centre spot and Suaali considered a winger only thank god

    i must admit loving the daily photos on socials is with training they seemed to reduce this in the past but bringing them back

      No, IMO Gus will be the first backrower picked along with Sitilli if he's fit. If Sitilli is not fit Nat Butcher will start. Blokes like Wong, Egan Butcher & Whyte will have to bide their time, one maybe on the bench if Sitilli is not fit for Rd 1.

      JWH
      Cheese
      Collins
      Gus
      Sitilli
      Rads

      Lenui
      May
      Watson
      Suaalii maybe

        He did mention the backrows and I wouldn’t be surprised if that too is a difficult decision

          I believe Sualli will get picked in front of Toops

          He has a higher performance ceiling on the wing ( only ) than Toops, ( I’m not discounting how good Toops is currently ) and is our backup kicker to Walker

          I’m sure we all remember the comical back up goalkickers we have endured over the last seasons

            I will be appalled if this is the case. Toops should be the first one picked.

              I don’t think it so straight to forward
              Gus will be first picked if his form is back to his best, if it’s like last year he will struggle to make the 17
              Don’t think Suaali will be on the bench, think butcher and sitili will push with May for the final 2 bench spots
              I reckon Wong will be starting 2nd row with Gus
              just opinion

                It's wing or nothing for Suaalii, there is no time left to allow him to develop into a centre or an edge forward.
                He could be a super sub . I'd love to see how he goes as an edge forward, he has all the right attributes to become a real weapon in both attack and defence .

                  Even The Tigers are training well.

                    Toops will be first man chosen.

                      no chance Nat Butcher won't be in the 17.

                        Nat Butcher is a must. I think Wong will have a breakout year and will feature heavily.
