Round 1 hooker ? Halves? Backline? Forwards ?

[Keith]

Getting excited!
so round 1 hooker will be?
Conner Watson?

Halves?
Keary Walker? I wonder if Keary will be fit ?
Can we play them both ?
Keary and Hutch
Walker and Hutch?

now the backline ??
Teddy
Toups
Joey
Then we have a few players fighting for the other 2 positions.
Momirovski
Suaalii
Naiqama
Keighran
Smith ( is he back training?)

Forwards
Collins (is he going to be back round 1)

we have so many good forwards , last year’s crisis will do us good and the young blokes we have will go good if led well by Jared and Siosiua.
Victor , Angus and Sitili pick themselves , so the impact potential we have off the bench will be good .

Nah, he has been brought back by the Roosters to exclusively play at No 14. Robbo said he will get him in the SOO team as No14.
Rd 1 hooker will be between Lam & Marshke I think.
I think Keary will be fit & play 6 & Walker 7.
Suaalii wont be in the RD 1 team because its unlikely he will play in the trials. The right wing spot for rd 1 will be between Naiqama & Smith but I think Naiqama after playing 3 years in a row for the top English side winning 3 comps & being the MOTM in last years SL GF will get him the nod.

I think Collins will be in the 17 for RD 1 & I think he will start the year off the bench only for a couple of rounds though.

[Thirteen]

I think Marshke will start Round 1. He’s ahead of Lussick I reckon. I wouldn’t consider two part timers to share the role. I don’t want to see Lam and Watson share it. We need a recognised hooker and I think that’s Marshke. The fact that he along with Radley are our two fittest should work in his favour too.

[Snapn1]

Watson will surprise you all at starting hooker! The guy had left an come back like a hulk with speed! Im pretty sure that he will be our starting hooker an the rest fight for 14th man.

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Is Verrills injured? Otherwise he starts at hooker without a doubt

Suspended for Round 1.

I reckon you're pretty well on the money Mickie. The make up of the bench will be interesting, will be a nice change for Robbo to actually have to tell guys they have missed out instead of looking across the line to see who's still standing and can fill the squad

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Suspended for Round 1.

cheers, I didn't know that. Marschke would be my choice then.

My thoughts...
1. Teddy
2. Toops
3. Momirovski
4. Manu
5. Naiqama
6. Walker
7. Keary
8. JWH
9. Keighran
10. Collins
11. Nat
12. Crichton
13. Rads

14. Watson
15. Sitili
16. SST
17. Egan

And yeah... it's gonna be farking amazing!!! You then keep that exact squad for 2023 but add the Cheese and Haas. If we don't have ridiculously bad luck with injuries, I reckon we'll get at least 1 premiership over the next 3 seasons.

I'd rather see Smith in the centres where he belongs.

Keighran a big call for 9 - but a clever inclusion for the boot.

How are our other kickers shaping up for the season - anyone hear anything?

He won’t surprise me I think he’s a great backup but I also think the team is better served in Round 1 with his utility value off the bench.

He was the strongest man at the club before he left. This was well publicised.

18th man: Lam

[Billy Gunn]

If Keary is out round 1 does Hutch get the nod straight away or has Volkman stand a chance? I thought Hutchison was pedestrian in defense at times and it would be good to have some distance kicking.

I don't think it will happen but it will be interesting to see if Volkman plays next week.

[King Salvo]

Most will play in next weeks trial so that may give some indication - I would assume if Keary is not fit for round 1 then Hutch would play 5/8. Not sure what was happening with the reserves but some didn't even get a run at all?.

Stuart was saying how he doesn't like trials as the training they do nowadays is more than enough to have players ready for round 1

[King Salvo]

I'd rather see Smith in the centres where he belongs.

Keighran a big call for 9 - but a clever inclusion for the boot.

How are our other kickers shaping up for the season - anyone hear anything?

SST again perhaps? - Momirovski a chance ? - Keighran ? I don't see him being in the 17 at this stage unless Robbo has Manu at 5/8 for round 1 and Keighran plays centre?

Watson and Lammy would be my tip for dummy half with Walker and Hutch the Halves if Keary is unavailable. - Be Walker and Keary if Keary is available
