The squad must be close to being announced. Expect to see some ring ins. A "returning from overseas" 33 year old lock with strong credentials and no Easts, Randwick or Country links is the latest. Another lock will be a Southern Districts former rugby league player from NZ contracted to the...

wonder whether we'll Hoilesy & Carraro back now that the Tahs next game is mad Monday. I guess Kepu, Beale, et al will be otherwise engaged.

Tough run alright. There is also going to be the challenge of giving game time to the Aus Under 20 lads coming back. Hanigan, Kamp, Croke, Deegan, Kellaway and the big Colts lock will all probably want some game time in the 1s. Interesting to see how the brains trust fit them all in.

Mitch Chapman, Kane Douglas, Steven Hoiles, Tim Metcher, Can Treloar, Ita Vaea, Matt Carraro, Ethan Ford, Brendan McKibbin & Sam Windsor I suspect are doubtful due to retirement, overseas contracts or other NRC clubs.

Wicks were smashed today by a West Harbor side that claimed to have focussed on defense - they weren't kidding. The forwards lacked muscle and some piggies that like to play wide may have to change or get to know the the 2nds coach IMO. The backs were poor however may be excused as the forwards...

The only way to end up with a small fortune out of sport is to start with a large one. Have seen that the Eagles have announced Elders as a sponsor which is a good fit and a good achievment for the management team. See some of the franchises have announced squads. Obviously no noise out of the...

Agree with the previous 2 posts. Hutchison is a find. Reckon it is a masterstroke by the coach to have Hiddlestone in the team. Wicks have lost too many games in recent years from poor goalkicking. Was amazed at the scrum - Uni are usually the best in that department however couldnt make an...

HJ - have not heard any whispers about the Beasties or the Wicks going it alone. Am interested how the sqad might look this year. Last year there were 33 players selected plus a development squad. That did not stop the coaching staff from drafting in extras. There have been a few retirements...

No way that will happen whilst he is playing for the Wicks. 7two loves the Wicks that much that they have had them on TV so many times, let me count them up... that right its once!

Anyone see the Uni V Gordon match? Is Gordon going that well? What went wrong with Uni? Bit of a shock for mine.

Thanks for the feedback AD.The Highlanders are also a big improvement from last year as well.

Solid win today. Gordon's plan seemed to be to diffuse our running game and engage in an arm wrestle. The good news was that the Wicks were able to beat them at that as well. Brogan Roods was impressive in his comeback and the 9 was good. Thought our forwards won the collisions and got the...

Agree about Phibbs. Some "game management" goes well. Agree with you on the first Taripo incident - the second was silly - he tackled a guy who was in the air trying to catch a ball and the ref was therefore compelled to yellow card him. He then had 2 yellows which meant a red card applied -...

Have to agree with you HJ. Cant understand why Wicks V Souths or really the Woodies and Marlins were not on the box. Souths look excellent on paper. Manly best Ive seen so far this year and reckon they are premiership favourites if they can hold form.

Fantastic Effort !! The Wicks selections will be a challenge when this lot are back! A lot of 6s & 8s to play.

Hi jagman - have you any thoughts on the forwards as yet? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Love yer work DB.;) Do you suggest the Wicks lost on purpose to stay under the radar?? Methinks you are trying to divert the competition favourite status away from the Mighty Manly Marlins...

Well called Coach. I beg to differ about the set pieces. Thought both sides had periods of ascendancy. Was very disappointed with the Wicks inability to keep the referee on side. He blew them off the park and I was baffled with some of the decisions - for example, 2 Randwick attacking scrums 10...
