Shenton

I think Hepi and Griffin would be wasted at prop. I agree with other posters another out & out starting prop would be great but feel we will use Jesse & Massey as make do's in that position when Watts,Smith or Millington are out.

I don’t mind Massey playing at prop. We’ve got Milner and Griffin who can play at 13.

I like Massey as a prop. It’s basically wheee he always plays anyway. He’s never wide of the ruck.

However whatever options we have available I still think we’re a heavy middle man light

[gateman]

young Peachey is being touted about as one for future but as now with what i have seen he needs more time , may be after a season with our second team he may make the grade , Brad Graham has had two good run outs in the friendly's but the lad is a back

Sonny Bill named in 21 man squad for Toronto.

Back on topic.

All the best to Shenton on Sunday and for the foreseeable. Whatever people think of his current ability in this side, he’s been an absolute model pro and an ambassador for this club.

He can also probably count himself very unlucky that he doesn’t have 2 Grand Finals rings. Had he not been injured and had to go off v Leeds in 2011 for Saints, they’d have more than likely won. Less said about 2017 the better.

Hope he enjoys his testimonial year and captains us to a big prize.

Saints were in control of that final till shenny got injured after Scott Moore had given a daft penalty away
Saw him briefly before Christmas and he looked very fit and was looking forward to new season
Looks like being a cold sunny winters day should be a big crowd down really

[cogito ergo sum]

I recall playing Bradford at home when Shenny shot out of the line and absolutely smashed Paul Deacon as he took the pass. Deacon’s face was an absolute mess as they helped him off.
Think it was the game that Rangi won for us at the back end.

Weather looks descent on Sunday so let’s hope we get plenty down.

Toronto have just named their squad numbers for 2020. They are running with only 23 players this year. That is incredibly light and looking at that squad, pretty paper thin with not much quality after a few NRL players. They’ll be desperately hoping to not pick up injuries Sunday.

1. Gareth O’Brien
2. Matty Russell
3. Chase Stanley
4. Ricky Leutele
5. Liam Kay
6. Joe Mellor
7. Josh McCrone
8. Adam Sidlow
9. Andy Ackers
10. Anthony Mullally
11. Andrew Dixon
12. Bodene Thompson
13. Jon Wilkin
14. Darcy Lussick
15. Gadwin Springer
16. Tom Olbison
17. Blake Wallace
18. Brad Singleton
19. Gary Wheeler
20. James Cunningham
21. Sonny Bill Williams
22. Greg Worthington
23. Hakim Miloudi

Not a bad squad for TW although light on numbers I recon they will add to the squad as the season goes on and the inevitable injuries occur. There main problem IMO is they don't have any reserves or academy to fall back on. Do they have a deal for duel reg' with another club ?

[braytontiger]

Greg Worthington is on loan at featherstone so not sure how he can play.
Looks a very light squad with 4/5 not super league standard imo

This is Totono’s problem. They have nowhere near enough quality or depth in the forwards. Only SBW is anything other than an average player, and some of them are nowhere near SL level.
They are going to be spending a lot of time in their own half of the field.

[Mucky1978]

No SBW tomorrow should be a cricket score.

[MrRugby123]

No SBW tomorrow should be a cricket score.

Agreed that squads poor without Sbw, they only just beat Fev to go up with a similar squad so we should be putting a number on them.

[old cas lass]

I think SBW will do 10/15 mins.

Gone back to NZ

[Ryan Sheridan's Hat]

I can't make the game tomorrow due to work commitments that I have been trying, with no joy, to get out of!
Does anybody know if the full game will be available on tigers TV?

His wife is about to give birth. Wonder if this means he won't be back in 2 weeks either. Be surprising to see him fly half way around the world and then leaving his new born to come all the way back to the UK again in two weeks. Wonder if it will be a few weeks into the season before we see him now.
