There’s still a month to go but it was a little surprising. Today, Mav Geyer played some middle for the NRL v this week’s trial guys. I think they’re probably looking at Mav as someone who can cover both edge & middle, just didn’t see him on the edge today but no surprise given Samuela & KPP there. Taylan & Jahream looked very good. Jahream is in for a huge year I think, such a good mover, stepping & passing looks great. Taylan very skillful, great in D and hard to handle. The full preseason has done him the world of good.They had an opposed session yesterday, black (1st string side) v orange shirts. Wyatt Raymond was the official for the session. Star & Taylan centres, Tito & Luke wingers. Jeral has a minor issue of some kind and didn’t take part although was there in orange shirt. Masi in orange shirt too (2nd string side). Patty Herbert & Masi at centre for orange shirts, Madden & Latu halves. Kit was playing a lot of that 1st receiver role in the orange shirt. Sione also in orange. Terrell, Bunty, Twal, Fonua, Royce & Seyfarth middles in black shirts.
Luke impressed with a few good reads in D and Jahream posed greatest threat to defence. AD sometimes moving to left with Jarome to create extra man etc. Still a month to go but starting look ok. But as Tim Grant told me “They all look good in training”.
Thanks for this update. I would have thought Sione has more to offer as a black shirt than Seyfarth but for some reason Benji has him penciled in every week.
