Is Austin Dias eligible to play round 1? Am I right in thinking someone has to be ruled out with COVID for non-top 30 players to be selected?

Peachey in 22 is interesting, I'm guessing he picked up a niggle on Friday.

G. Sutton referee - inspiring.
Hoping for no injuries, a steady hit out with some commitment in defence. Hastings to be involved but not overplaying his hand. I want him to settle in over a few weeks but concerned he'll be crucified if he doesn't win MOM in his first game.
I think that 13 is starting 13 rd1. Not confident in our centres.
Should be an interesting trial. Looking forward to this one.

There is a huge belief that he is going to turn it all around for us. I am still not sold on that.

we won't have Madden and Starford To'a both on the bench
Will be interesting to see how we go against a watered down Roosters team. If we don’t win this it will be pretty disappointing.

I feel he'll be a significant contributor if we have success, I just hope he's not judged after 60 minutes. Even if he doesn't set the world on fire early, I'm hoping he can help Brooks play to his potential. I have a good feeling they'll complement each other.
All the new players are going to need some time to find their feet. Sadly, Wests Tigers fans tend to be short on patience and quick to crucify.

No, but it will be a blow to everyone’s confidence.

No it wont be - it's a trial - they don't play trials to win - they play them to trial players.
Bennett starts his teams off slow every year.
Dragons always come out and are top of the ladder first 5-6 games then drop off.
At the end of this year I was to see improvement and be competitive, and the continued growth of our young core group.

We have a relatively soft first 5 rounds other than Storm. IMO we need to start well and win 3 of 5 to be a chance of a strong year.
