Galvin will be our goal kicker yeah 🤷♂️
I think its a decent team for a first trial, i did expect to see Makasini in there, however the reality is we cant use him till later in the season so better to give the available fringe players a run and see what they deliver. Hopefully skelton has a decent hit out against his old club, I'm guessing they will look to expose the defensive deficiencies he had last year...could be a good measure of our teams defensive coaching in the pre-season if he has a solid hit out.
It will be interesting to see that aspect of our game & Jeral’s defence although being inexperienced and new to the squad & this backline there might be an issue or two, hopefully not but we’ll see. In terms of the defence as a whole I doubt we’ll be great but coming off such a poor record last year we’ll no doubt be better. I think our attack will improve greatly as the season wears on especially if we have a lengthy period of stability in the team & spine in particular.I think its a decent team for a first trial, i did expect to see Makasini in there, however the reality is we cant use him till later in the season so better to give the available fringe players a run and see what they deliver.

I feel like people underestimate the disruption injury and suspension caused last year and how it affected our results....hopefully much more in the way of stability this year.It will be interesting to see that aspect of our game & Jeral’s defence although being inexperienced and new to the squad & this backline there might be an issue or two, hopefully not but we’ll see.

That was largely self inflicted though.
Yes merely suggesting that the stability we seek could also come from greater self discipline on the field.
Attitude in defence and discipline are in our control, regardless of opposition or circumstance.

Hopefully that has been a focus of the off season, our discipline was terrible last season.

Line speed is non existent
attack is pretty ordinary
Latu not doing anything
TDS dummy half service inconsistent
it is the galvin show
how on earth do we give away a tine violation for a scrum
