Signed a fortnight ago according to Badel. Source It means he'll be available for selection from Round 1.

“The good news is Matty Koellner has been cleared of any serious knee injury, with scans showing all is in tact. He’ll continue with some minor rehab.” Link Great news - thought it deserved to be highlighted so it wasn't buried in a general thread.

It all comes down to where Madge rates Delouise Hoeter. I get the impression that he's below Shibasaki on the pecking order and I'm not convinced that Madge views Mariner, Karapani or Arthars as viable options at this stage. If things go according to plan, I'd expect an announcement on the...

Firstly, he has to get through the trial. If those pictures are accurate, then Shibasaki will line up on the left-side which makes Gehamat's assignment slightly less difficult since the Gold Coast tend to target the other side. If he can get through both trials, I expect we'll see Shibasaki's...

Teams can announce as many players as they want on the bench and make as many changes as they want. Teams can also make late changes as well. As it stands West, Vaihu, Scott, Allen, Horne, Sefo and Eggerling were all cut.

Just a reminder that Jesse Arthars, Jordan Riki and Xavier Willison will be unavailable as they're representing the Maori All Stars on Saturday.

Season. I've braced myself for it. He might not be there come Round 1, but I get the impression he's right in the mix and if Madge wants to play that conservative defensive option he'll go Shibasaki.

The only reason Paix didn't play last year is because the Broncos were desperate to get him off their books. I think Madge is more open to picking him and getting as much value out of his roster so I expect Paix will be in the frame. Kobe strikes me as the style of player Madge likes. A tough...

Season. It may not happen by Round 1, but by Round 4 I'm expecting Shibasaki, Gosiewski and Paix to have all featured.

Even though he isn't currently under contract, I suspect we'll see Shibasaki at left centre sooner rather than later. Cobbo wing Hunt five eighth Carrigan prop Paix hooker Gosiewski second row Hetherington lock Piakura off the bench The other changes from last year.

I wonder if Laurie will throw his hat into the ring for the vacant #6? Both Cole and Schneider struggled to assert themselves, while Laurie's running game would compliment Cleary's style of play. It was a rough audition for Cole and Schneider, Penrith had a mountain of possession and they...

The only other trials I'm aware of was the Dolphins/Capras and Storm/Falcons. I don't believe either was streamed.
