Trial Game 1 v Knights

Definitely got more first graders, that spine is gonna be challenging for us.. but lets see what happens on the day I guess.. or how many minutes they do, esp after they see our squad.

I am looking forward to seeing Reed, R Couchman, Fale, O'Neill, Fagalilo, Coutts, Hutchinson, Tsougranis, Heidke and Stanely-Traill get a run. I hope they all get at least 30 minutes game time

I misread Fletcher Hunt as Fletcher Sharp.. so thats 1 less gun.. though I reckon FHunt is a potential superstar winger, cant recall if we tried to sign him or not, but Knights extended him... but anyone that good in the air is frightening.

Edit: Crap.. Sharp is the 6 lol.. woops... both r playing.. will be a real test for our defence.

I just realised I didn't miss read it. Fletcher Sharpe is named at 5/8

great opportunity for all players selected to impress the coaching staff

Particularly interested to watch the young halves and back up hookers.

Many fringe FG forwards on show.

Good experience for all concerned

Excuse be but who is the Random Dragon f*wit to tell anyone else he or she can't give his opinion about the team?

Fuckwit? Why don’t you start posting well thought out posts rather than slamming the coach and his son in every f*cking thread, it’s boring. There’s a thread to whinge about them, go do it there

No one needs your permission to give his opinion on the make up of the team the coach has selected.

First post was fine. Don't think anyone disagrees. The next couple I think we can agree should've been in the other thread. That's the way I feel about it anyway.

I'm focusing on the postives. Reed and LKT playing together behind a very decent pack. That's what I'm excited about seeing. Also hoping a few of the reserves get some decent minutes. Specifically Heidke, Buchanan and hopefully CST and Hutchinson down there at No.23 and 24.

I posted the item below in the Other League thread in the Dragons Lair but thought I should add it here because it will apply to our first trial game against the Knights - The New Rule Changes for 2026:
