Tui missed most of 2020 due to a back injury he sustained while (over)training in isolation.

Meaney's shoulder not a structural injury.

Bit of perspective here. Jesse and Josh have carried us this year. NAS doesn't do a pre season so starts the year short on fitness Christian is gone rd1 Tui missing until rd 10 No Jordan or Tom until this month Tepai took a while to really start making an impact then getting injured Brandon's form t...

Welch and Jesse seems logical

Interesting that none of Tom, Tepai or Jordan have been used in the trials. You'd think at least one of them will be required for Rd1, even if Brandon gets off.
Judging by the trial teams the bench is looking like Nikorima, NAS, Loiero and Howarth.

A lot of talk seems to be around Harry starting at 9 and Brandon at 13 but I don't know why we would change such a successful formula from last year (and a great point of difference to other teams) with Harry 14 and Brandon 9. Harry comes on at 9 first interchange and Brandon moving to 13 and the 13...

NRL website has him playing 14 minutes. No idea how he went.

So Brandon's 'apology' basically says he stands by everything he said but he's sorry if we don't like it. And he's a victim.
I'm glad the club said it 'acknowledges' the apology, not 'accepts'.

Minor Prems and 40 points on Manly in a final, already a successful season I would say!

I have been thinking about the bench all year and now that we are on the doorstep of the most important game, I’m just not sure picking Nicho on the bench is the best option. He has been phenomenal. And deserves a spot. But it’s such a risk carrying both Harry and Nicho on the bench. All it takes i...

I'll be there, Storm haven't played in Newey since 2018. Doubt there'll be much of a crowd considering. Be interesting to see who the local support will be for though.

A few more outs. My guess for the team

Reimis
Olam
