Re: 2024 Trial 2 v Cowboys: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*

Puru played first receiver for a little bit out there today. And looked great…. Looks to be a solid backup. Good player. Can't see him getting much time in 1st grade this season unless there are injuries. I reckon if he was playing on the wing he wouldn’t have let Feldt run around him four times Wh...

Re: 2024 Trial 2 v Cowboys: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*

I'm sure someone mentioned Savage was training at fullback and wing during pre-season but I can't find the source (poster and fogarty in a video). Only recently it was mentioned Savage had spent a lot of time on the wing, which still indicates he wasn't only on the wing.

At least Levi looks good in cup. Hopoate is looking at Kris at fullback and thinking "what if he was also less explosive and couldn't catch bombs".

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders

Re: 2024 Trial 2 v Cowboys: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*

Resting the round 1 fullback and our only halfback is a good move. Watching Hoppa lay down on the ground to catch his bombs is going to make the first 20 a hard watch.
