Wanted to see what Stef does.

Gee we’ve made Montoya look like a star

Stef has looked pretty good. He gives them something they lack i reckon. Klemmer and Twal are great workhorses but Stef runs great lines and busts tackles. On cue, and as i write this he just scored.

EDIT: He probably forces his way into my team if he stays fit this pre season.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Looks like ill be investing a fair sum on my bench.

Cheese
Utoikamanu Hetherington
Hopgood Stone Schuster
Hynes
I.katoa
Talau Sloan khan-pereira
Turbo

Means I'm probably running 1 fewer gun on field but having a strong 25 and not just 13 or 17 is critical.

i've gone cold on stone (lack of playing time) and talau (lack of scoring opportunities)
Don't think katoa will get a start in week1 and I'm really tossing up to put schuster in.

I know we can wait till TLT but do you think Te Whare & Dunster will get their opportunity from round 1? I probably fit them in if selected

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Teams are out for this weekend and look like a decent indication as to how teams may line up in round 1.

Notable starters include Doorey/Murdoch-Masila/cini/utoikamanu

Cini probably makes way when blake and dunster come back. Good signs for the other 3 though. I'll have a better look later but I was surprised VTW was out too. Im banking on either dunster or VTW to start in round 1 or I'll need to find some cash from another position.

 

[balmainforever]

Cini doesn’t have enough of a workload
in his 4 games for the WT he averaged 28 during covid.
he is a fullback and not a centre or winger.

russell is the more interesting option.

 

[balmainforever]

Doorey has just opened up as a rookie chance to start round 1.
Lane of injured with a suspected broken jaw

EELS V STORM

Thursday 2 March, CommBank Stadium, 7:50pm

Eels: 1. Clint Gutherson 2. Maika Sivo 3. Will Penisini 4. Haze Dunster/Zac Cini 5. Sean Russell 6. Dylan Brown 7. Mitchell Moses 8. Reagan Campbell-Gillard 9. Josh Hodgson 10. Junior Paulo 11. Jack Murchie 12. Matt Doorey 13. J’maine Hopgood

Bench: 14. Mitch Rein/Jake Arthur 15. Makahesi Makatoa 16. Ofahiki Ogden/Wiremu Greig 17. Jirah Momoisea

Early Mail: The Eels have numerous injury concerns to start the season, with backline members Bailey Simonsson and Waqa Blake both unavailable early on.

Maika Sivo and Sean Russell are expected to start on the wings, with Will Penisini in one centre position.

The left centre spot is up in the air, with Zac Cini or Haze Dunster likely for the spot. Russell can also play centre should they opt for an alternate winger.

Cini himself suffered a rib cartilage injury in the trial.

Their back-row has struck trouble, with Ryan Matterson suspended for the first three weeks, and Shaun Lane and Matt Doorey both injured in the trials.

Lane is out long-term, while Doorey is a chance to play the season opener with an ankle sprain.

Bryce Cartwright would be one man in line for a call-up, but he’s under an injury cloud himself.

Jack Murchie is likely to get one spot, while Jirah Momoisea may be called up in the other if Doorey is ruled out.

Storm: 1. Nick Meaney 2. William Warbrick/Dean Ieremia 3. Reimis Smith 4. Young Tonumaipea 5. Xavier Coates 6. Cameron Munster 7. Jahrome Hughes 8. Nelson Asofa-Solomona 9. Harry Grant 10. Christian Welch 11. Trent Loiero 12. Eliesa Katoa 13. Josh King

Bench: 14. Tyran Wishart 15. Tui Kamikamica 16. Josh King 17. Chris Lewis/Tariq Sims

Early Mail: Injuries have hit Melbourne’s pre-season, namely their backline contingent.

Justin Olam, Marion Seve, George Jennings and Ryan Papenhuyzen are all unavailable.

Nick Meaney will start at fullback and kick goals, with Young Tonumaipea and Reimis Smith starting in the centres.

Xavier Coates will play one wing, with Will Warbrick likely to edge Dean Ieremia for the vacant wing spot.

Tariq Sims didn’t feature in either trial due to an injury niggle, he remains in doubt to face the Eels in round 1. If named, he’s likely to play as a middle forward.

This leaves the back-row edge roles vacated by Felise Kaufusi and Kenny Bromwich wide open.

Eliesa Katoa and Trent Loiero are the likely starters in round 1, with the likes of Joe Chan, Tom Eisenhuth and Jack Howarth putting pressure on for the roles.

The highly regarded Howarth has seemingly fallen down the pecking order for the time being.

WARRIORS V KNIGHTS

Friday 3 March, Sky Stadium, Wellington, 6:00pm

Warriors: 1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 3. Viliami Vailea 4. Adam Pompey 5. Marcelo Montoya 6. Te Maire Martin 7. Shaun Johnson 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Wayde Egan 10. Mitch Barnett 11. Marata Niukore 12. Jackson Ford 13. Tohu Harris

Bench: 14. Dylan Walker 15. Josh Curran 16. Bunty Afoa 17. Tom Ale

Early Mail: With Luke Metcalf injured, Charnze Nicoll-Klokstadd will get first crack at fullback.

He’ll make up the spine alongside Te Maire Martin, Shaun Johnson and Wayde Egan.

Expect movement in the forward pack, with Tohu Harris starting at lock before switching to prop.

Harris will be the link man in the pack and is expected to play big minutes, as will Marata Niukore who starts on the edge.

The other edge is up for grabs at this stage, with Jackson Ford preferred to Josh Curran in week two of trials.

Mitch Barnett will start at prop but is also likely to spend some time on the edge.

Jazz Tevaga is unavailable for the opening few rounds due to injury.

Knights: 1. Lachlan Miller 2. Greg Marzhew 3. Dane Gagai 4. Bradman Best 5. Dom Young 6. Kalyn Ponga 7. Jackson Hastings 8. Jacob Saifiti 9. Jayden Brailey 10. Daniel Saifiti 11. Tyson Frizell 12. Lachlan Fitzgibbon 13. Adam Elliott

Bench: 14. Kurt Mann 15. Leo Thompson 16. Jack Hetherington (in doubt) 17. Jack Johns/Brodie Jones

Early Mail: After impressing in the trials, Greg Marzhew is likely to win the left wing role ahead of a number of candidates.

Kalyn Ponga starts at five-eighth, but has seemingly relinquished the goal-kicking duties to Jackson Hastings for the time being.

Recruit Adam Elliott didn’t feature in the trials on return from injury, followed by a fresh niggle at training, but he’s expected to be fit for round 1 where he’ll start at lock.

Lachlan Fitzgibbon is expected to start on the left edge, with Elliott to move out wider at stages once fully fit.

Kurt Mann will play off the bench as the utility, with a plan to integrate him into the side at lock.

Recruit Jack Hetherington is in doubt for the early stages of the season with a calf injury.

PANTHERS V BRONCOS

Friday 3 March, BlueBet Stadium, 8:05pm

Panthers: 1. Dylan Edwards 2. Sunia Turuva 3. Izack Tago 4. Stephen Crichton 5. Brian To’o 6. Jarome Luai 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Moses Leota 9. Mitch Kenny 10. James Fisher-Harris 11. Luke Garner 12. Liam Martin 13. Isaah Yeo

Bench: 14. Soni Luke 15. Scott Sorensen 16. Spencer Leniu 17. Matt Eisenhuth

Early Mail: Taylan May (ACL) is out for the season, meaning Sunia Turuva will start on the wing.

Dylan Edwards, Liam Martin and Soni Luke didn’t feature in the World Club Challenge but are all expected to play in Round 1.

Luke Garner is expected to start in the position vacated by Viliame Kikau, while Zac Hosking is an outside chance to win the spot.

Mitch Kenny will start at hooker, with Luke expected to deputise at about the 25-30 minute mark, essentially the same rotation Api Koroisau was involved in late last year.

Broncos: 1. Reece Walsh/Selwyn Cobbo 2. Corey Oates 3. Kotoni Staggs 4. Herbie Farnworth 5. Selwyn Cobbo/Jesse Arthars 6. Ezra Mam/Jock Madden 7. Adam Reynolds 8. Corey Jensen 9. Billy Walters 10. Payne Haas 11. Kurt Capewell 12. Jordan Riki 13. Pat Carrigan

Bench: 14. Cory Paix 15. Keenan Palasia 16. Martin Taupau 17. Thomas Flegler

Early Mail: Halfback Adam Reynolds is racing the clock to be fit for round 1 having missed the pre-season trials with a niggle.

He’s expected to face Penrith in the opener, with Jock Madden on standby if he were to miss.

If Reynolds is unavailable, Reece Walsh would take over the goal-kicking duties.

Walsh himself is in some doubt with a facial fracture, with Selwyn Cobbo to deputise at fullback if unavailable, which would also see Jesse Arthurs named on the wing.

The biggest question mark over an otherwise settled line-up is the hooking battle, with Billy Walters, Cory Paix, Tyson Smoothy and Blake Mozer all competing for the position.

Walters is likely to get the nod, with Paix sharing the role off the bench.

SEA EAGLES v BULLDOGS

Saturday 4 March, 4 Pines Park, 3:00pm

Sea Eagles: 1. Tom Trbojevic 2. Christian Tuipulotu 3. Tolu Koula 4. Brad Parker 5. Reuben Garrick 6. Josh Schuster 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Josh Aloiai 9. Lachlan Croker 10. Jake Trbojevic 11. Haumole Olakau’atu 12. Kelma Tuilagi 13. Sean Keppie

Bench: 14. Ben Trbojevic 15. Toafofoa Sipley 16. Taniela Paseka 17. Ethan Bullemor

Early Mail: Tom Trbojevic will return for the season opener at fullback.

Despite a desire to move to centre, Reuben Garrick is expected to play on the wing in 2023.

Josh Schuster officially makes the move into the halves outside Daly Cherry-Evans.

Schuster will link up with recruit Kelma Tuilagi on the left edge.

Jake Trbojevic will make the move to prop, with Sean Keppie likely starting at lock, making for a big forward pack approach by coach Anthony Seibold.

Bulldogs: 1. Hayze Perham 2. Jacob Kiraz 3. Jake Averillo 4. Paul Alamoti 5. Josh Addo-Carr 6. Matt Burton 7. Kyle Flanagan 8. Max King

9. Reed Mahoney 10. Luke Thompson 11. Viliame Kikau 12. Raymond Faitala-Mariner 13. Ryan Sutton

Bench: 14. Josh Reynolds 15. Franklin Pele 16. Andrew Davey 17. Jacob Preston

Early Mail: Paul Alamoti is tipped to partner Jake Averillo in the centres, with Hayze Perham to play fullback.

Raymond Faitala-Mariner will start on the edge, but is likely to spend time in the middle third.

This will open up an edge spot for Andrew Davey during the match.

Tevita Pangai Jnr picked up a calf strain at training that will see him miss the opening month of action with the best case scenario being a return for the round four clash against the Warriors.

This is likely to open up a starting role for recruit Ryan Sutton.

Exciting recruits Jacob Preston and Franklin Pele are fighting for bench roles, both may be included should Cameron Ciraldo leave Nu Brown out, making new skipper Reed Mahoney an 80-minute hooker which is likely.

Viliame Kikau failed a HIA in the trial loss to Cronulla, barring any lingering symptons he should be fine to take his place on the left edge outside Matt Burton in the opener.

COWBOYS V RAIDERS

Saturday 4 March, Queensland Country Bank Stadium, 5:30pm

Cowboys: 1. Scott Drinkwater 2. Kyle Feldt 3. Valentine Holmes 4. Peta Hiku 5. Murray Taulagi 6. Tom Dearden 7. Chad Townsend 8. Jordan McLean 9. Reece Robson 10. Reuben Cotter 11. Coen Hess 12. Jeremiah Nanai 13. Jason Taumalolo

Bench: 14. Jake Granville 15. James Tamou 16. Mitchell Dunn/Jack Gosiewski 17. Griffin Neame

Early Mail: There’s little movement to the Cowboys’ 17 from last season.

They’re down an edge back-rower with Luciano Leilua unavailable due to being subject to the NRL’s no-fault standown policy, and Heilum Luki is still some time away from returning from an ACL injury.

This will see Coen Hess given first crack on the left edge.

Jake Granville is likely to be picked as the bench utility, a spot filled by Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow last season.

Raiders: 1. Jordan Rapana 2. Nick Cotric 3. Matthew Timoko 4. Sebastian Kris 5. Harley Smith-Shields 6. Jack Wighton 7. Jamal Fogarty 8. Josh Papalii 9. Danny Levi 10. Emre Guler 11. Hudson Young 12. Elliott Whitehead 13. Joseph Tapine

Bench: 14. Tom Starling 15. Corey Harawira-Naera 16. Corey Horsburgh 17. Trey Mooney/Ata Mariota

Early Mail: The Green Machine are short a genuine fullback, with Xavier Savage breaking his jaw in week one of pre-season trials.

Jordan Rapana can escape suspension with an early guilty plea.

It was actually Sebastian Kris preferred at number one by coach Ricky Stuart in the final trial.

But Rapana is more likely to start come the season opener, with Kris back to centre and Harley Smith-Shields returning from an ACL injury on the wing.

The other watch at the Raiders is the starting lock role vacated by Adam Elliott.

Joseph Tapine was the preferred option in the second trial, while both Emre Guler and Corey Horsburgh are options.

Danny Levi is expected to start at hooker, with Tom Starling sharing the role off the bench and Zac Woolford the odd man out.

Rookies Trey Mooney and Ata Mariota will compete for the final bench spot.

SHARKS V RABBITOHS

Saturday 4 March, PointsBet Stadium, 7:35pm

Sharks: 1. William Kennedy 2. Sione Katoa 3. Jesse Ramien 4. Siosifa Talakai 5. Ronaldo Mulitalo 6. Matt Moylan 7. Nicho Hynes 8. Toby Rudolf 9. Blayke Brailey 10. Braden Hamlin-Uele 11. Briton Nikora 12. Teig Wilton 13. Dale Finucane

Bench: 14. Cameron McInnes 15. Wade Graham 16. Royce Hunt 17. Oregon Kaufusi/Jack Williams/Tom Hazelton

Early Mail: An extremely settled line-up for the Shire folk.

Interestingly Ronaldo Mulitalo played left wing in the trial win over the Bulldogs, with Sione Katoa on the right outside Jesse Ramien.

Teig Wilton is tipped to start on the left edge, relegating club veteran Wade Graham to a bench role.

Royce Hunt suffered an elbow injury at training that has him in doubt for the opener.

Jack Williams, Oregon Kaufusi and Tom Hazelton will fight for a final bench spot, or two if Hunt is unavailable.

Rabbitohs: 1. Latrell Mitchell 2. Alex Johnston 3. Isaiah Tass 4. Campbell Graham 5. Izaac Thompson 6. Cody Walker 7. Lachlan Ilias 8. Tevita Tatola 9. Damien Cook 10. Tom Burgess 11. Keaon Koloamatangi 12. Jai Arrow 13. Cameron Murray.

Bench: 14. Blake Taaffe 15. Jacob Host 16. Davvy Moale 17. Shaq Mitchell

Early Mail: The backline picks itself, with Taane Milne unavailable for the opening round with suspension.

Isaiah Tass will start at centre, with Izaac Thompson on the wing.

Siliva Havili is out for an exended period, while Hame Sele is in doubt for round 1, which would see Tom Burgess join Tevita Tatola up front, also opening up minutes for Davvy Moale.

Blake Taaffe is expected to be named as the bench utility, locking in big minutes for Damien Cook with no other noted hooker on the bench.

DOLPHINS V ROOSTERS

Sunday 5 March, Suncorp Stadium, 4.05pm

Dolphins:1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow 2. Jamayne Iassko 3. Euan Aitken 4. Tesi Niu 5. Robert Jennings 6. Anthony Milford 7. Sean O’Sullivan 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Jeremy Marshall-King 10. Mark Nicholls 11. Felise Kaufusi 12. Kenny Bromwich 13. Tom Gilbert

Bench: 14. Kodi Nikorima 15. Ray Stone 16. Jarrod Wallace 17. Herman Ese’ese

Early Mail: For a new-look line-up, the Dolphins’ starting side looks fairly settled.

Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Anthony Milford, Sean O’Sullivan and Jeremy Marshall-King will make up the spine.

This will force exciting youngster Isaiya Katoa to bide his time in QLD Cup.

Euan Aitken will make the move back to centre in 2023 where he’ll start alongside either Tesi Niu or Brenko Lee.

Edrick Lee suffered an ankle injury at training and will miss a month of action, opening up a spot on the wing for Robert Jennings.

Tom Gilbert will be the 13, with Ray Stone playing off the bench.

Roosters: 1. James Tedesco 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Joseph Suaalii 4. Joey Manu 5. Jaxson Paulo 6. Luke Keary 7. Sam Walker 8. Matt Lodge 9. Brandon Smith 10. Lindsay Collins 11. Egan Butcher 12. Nat Butcher 13. Victor Radley

Bench: 14. Jake Turpin, 15. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 16. Siua Wong 17. Terrell May

Early Mail: Jaxson Paulo is expected to start on the right wing outside of Joey Manu.

Manu is in doubt with a facial fracture, with Corey Allan or Paul Momirovski in line to replace him if unavailable.

In his new position of centre, Joseph Suaali’i failed a HIA in the trial loss to Manly, but should be okay with the long turnaround until the season begins.

Egan Butcher is expected to replace Angus Crichton in the back-row, with promising rookie Siua Wong a chance to replace him off the bench if named in round 1.

That said, Crichton is back training so don’t write him off.

With Connor Watson injured, Jake Turpin is set to play off the bench.

He’ll enter the game at hooker, which will likely see recruit Brandon Smith spend time in the middle rotation. Drew Hutchison remains a favourite of coach Trent Robinson and could sneak in for a bench spot.

Luke Keary is expected to be fit for round 1 despite suffering a head knock at training that saw him miss the second trial.

TIGERS V TITANS

Sunday 5 March, Leichhardt Oval, 6:15pm

Tigers: 1. Daine Laurie 2. David Nofoaluma 3. Tommy Talau 4. Brent Naden 5. Junior Tupou/Charlie Staines 6. Adam Doueihi 7. Luke Brooks 8. David Klemmer 9. Api Koroisau 10. Stefano Utoikamanu 11. John Bateman/Shawn Blore 12. Isaiah Papali’I 13. Joe Ofahengaue

Bench: 14. Jake Simpkin 15. Fonua Pole 16. Shawn Blore/John Bateman 17. Alex Twal

Early Mail: The Tigers backline is wide open, with Ken Maumalo suffering a knee injury that will likely see him be made unavailable for the early stages of the season.

Impressive trialler Junior Tupou and recruit Charlie Staines are the main options to partner David Nofoaluma on the wing.

Among a stack centre position, Brent Naden and Tommy Talau are likely to get the round 1 nod.

Api Koroisau and Luke Brooks missed the side’s comfortable trial win over Canberra, but are available for the opener.

John Bateman was finally given clearance to arrive in Australia, meaning he missed the entire pre-season with the Tigers.

As such, he may be eased in off the bench before joining the starting side in the back-row very early on in the season.

Titans: 1. AJ Brimson 2. Alofiana Khan-Pereira 3. Phillip Sami 4. Aaron Schoupp 5. JoJo Fifita 6. Kieran Foran 7. Tanah Boyd 8. Moeaki Fotuaika 9. Sam Verrills 10. Tino Fa’asuamaleaui 11. David Fifita 12. Beau Fermor 13. Erin Clark/Isaac Liu

Bench: 14. Jayden Campbell 15. Joe Stimson 16. Jaimin Jolliffe 17. Isaac Liu/Erin Clark

Early Mail: With Patrick Herbert and Brian Kelly unavailable in the early stages of the season, Jojo Fifita, Alofiana Khan-Periera, Phillip Sami and Aaron Schoupp make up an exciting backline.

Blessed with options in the playmaking ranks, the spine will run out as AJ Brimson, Kieran Foran, Tanah Boyd and Sam Verrills.

Boyd will goal-kick and partner David Fifita on the right edge, with Foran on the left with Beau Fermor.

Jayden Campbell is likely to be named as the bench utility, he spent time at centre during the pre-season trials.

Erin Clark is likely to start at lock, however he faces competition from Isaac Liu.

ON THE BYE: DRAGONS

1. Tyrell Sloan 2. Mikaele Ravalawa 3. Moses Suli 4. Zac Lomax 5. Mat Feagai 6. Moses Mbye 7. Ben Hunt 8. Zane Musgrove 9. Jacob Liddle 10. Blake Lawrie 11. Ben Murdoch-Masila/Jack Bird 12. Jaydn Su’A 13. Jack de Belin

Bench: 14. Aaron Woods 15. Francis Molo 16. Jayden Sullivan 17. Josh Kerr

Early Mail: Moses Mbye is likely to get the nod in the halves for the Dragons’ round 2 kick-off, ahead of Jayden Sullivan who will play off the bench.

Back-rower Jack Bird is expected to be fit for the club’s first game in round 2 as he recovers from a knee injury, if ruled out Ben Murdoch-Masila would likely join Jaydn Su’A in the starting side.

Zane Musgrove and Blake Lawrie are likely to start at prop, but there’s a host of different avenues Anthony Griffin could opt for there.

Lock forward Jack de Belin is dealing with a calf complaint that has him in slight doubt for the opener, but he’s expected to play.

Schuster out round 1 which means he is back in round 3 at the earliest given the bye. I think I'll still start him but there could be validity in waiting and only grabbing him if he scores well in his first 2 games back.

I thought he was a trap anyway.
No need to get him until round 5 now

Depends who else there is available I guess. If katoa makes the dolphins 13 then I probably dump Schuster. Im not that enthused by Schuster either but he is probably worth it at that price.

 

[balmainforever]

I was always going down the 2 gun 5-8ths as it’s the hardest position to fill.
Just means I may leave cleary out.

 

[balmainforever]

Things might now change for me.
Looks like Milford might be dropped for Katoa.
Will start him if he is picked.
