Id say they just need the extra body for training drills.

Though he could yet play NSW Cup as that team will be missing alot of players as a by-product.

I'll ask him at work tomorrow.

[Chip]

they're rotating the u20s - aweek with 1st grade for trainings.  Tohu & Blake spent a week training with them before the bye.  Although Mitchell apparently played great against the eels so could be more than that maybe...

[Scooter]

1. Chisholm
2. Duffie
3. Nielsen
4. Stanley/Isa (if Stanley is still injured)
5. MacDougall
6. Finch
7. Kelly
8. Norrie
9. Hinchcliffe
10. Lima
11. Blair
12. Manu
13. Lowrie

14. Kostjasyn
15. Tandy
16. Tolman
17. Proctor

I think Chisholm will be picked at fullback ahead of O'Neill because we need a goal kicker. Although I have seen Kelly kick goals in the past.

[Mattpoet]

Wouldn't mind seeing Kite, Kali and one of Jerome, O'Niell and Chisholm get a go

Looking forward to seeing Justin O'Neill in action, and congratulations to him on making his debut, magnificent athlete who ticks all the boxes, who will be a starting winger next year. Bit suprised to see Robbie Rochow on the bench, been out injured a fair bit this year but must be really impressing in training and Luke Kelly will go well, great kicking and passing game and good to see they didnt go conservative and pick Kostjasyn at 7.

[1999]

we need a player like rochow, a no nonsense player who isnt afraid to hit a hole at pace and take a shot, i swear we have a really over rated forward pack at full strength, last week we made 1000 metres to parras 1500+, norrie and lowrie were the only 2 having a red hot crack at bending the line, the rest were pathetic, norrie is deadset our best forward this year, i think sika will play alot better this week wider out also. Anyone else glad hoff isnt there? my god he's become a passenger, id rather rochow start over him, our whole attitude last week was poor, smith was unusually un captain-like, blair and white were MIA, only players who wernt sh*thouse were GI, norrie and lowrie.

anyway back to this team, im so excited to watch these young guys have a crack, most anticipated game in ages! wheres chisholm though, was hyped up in the 08 trials as a star and possible 5/8 THEN! BY BELLYACHE! Must have really fallen off the radar. Keen to see how o'neill and kelly handle the step up, and i think another strong game from chase should see him up in FG permanently!

Jeez would love to see our NSW cup team lol 

[Michael :P]

Dont worry about Dane, he's been playing terriffic last month after an insipid start to the season.

3. Willie Isa
4. Kirisome Auva'a
5. Maeli Seve
6. Daniel O'Regan
7. Dane Chisholm
8. Jesse Bromwich
9. James Woolford
10. Sione Kite
11. Fred Makimare
12. Hep Cahill
13. Billy Rogers

Interchange:
14. Sinbad Kali
15. Atelea Vea
16. Dale Langford  
17. Blake Leary

[Michael :P]

[1999]

Looking at the two lineups, it's going to take a hell of a performance from our boys.  But we did something similar against the Bulldogs, so I think we can do it again.
