had to chuckle saw someone posted that Cordner tore his pec while carrying all the brown paper bags Uncle Nick handed out for extending his contract.
Well that is something like $1.8m sitting on the sidelines for the first couple of months at least and probably the top 2 candidates for being the captain this year.
Vincent Leuluai will get a shit in my opinion. TR has had him 18th man a few times and if he has trained well in the off season should get a crack. Would like to think Guerra will come out firing as well
Ryan Matterson & Mitchell Frei will come into calculations as well.
Its going to be a tough ask without our strike back-row forward and JWH out to start the season.
Add to that our depth lacking with the highest 5 day turn arounds out of all NRL teams you can see some tough periods ahead.
Im honestly trying to focus on positives regarding the development of Dylan Napa, Issac Lui 4th Year in 1st Grade, Kane Evans and SST now emerging.
I expected another push for the Premiership, but its looking more likely we're going through a re-tool of the squad and looking towards 2017-18 as years we drive up recruitment and challenge.
Guerra and Aubbo are good 80min players, with Interchange low (down to 8) maybe we will play a faster game plan with so much experience gone.
This has been the shitiest off season ever, with daylight second. If losing RTS and Maloney wasn't bad enough, but I expected late last year, that Pearce, Jennings & Cordner, three of our origin players, to be crucial for us this year.
We can't afford ONE injury to a senior player.
Just heard two of our players have collided in the warm up for 9's one suspect ACL damage the other torn hamstring and ankle only caught the tail end on radio dont know who the players are
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe
Not a good start to the season.
I think we will finish around 6th now with a poor start to the season.
Having so many players not playing the full season I think we will win the comp with Pearce, JWH and Cordner firing due to playing about 1/3 less games then most the other players in the comp.
