This team does not scare me! Warriors turn up with that first 30 mins against the dolphins, with an actual sell out crowd we smoke them!
I actually think sharks are the biggest pretenders this season. They won't make the 8.

Right, back at it after a self induced reprieve from the forum over the summer to concentrate on fishing, BBQing and the multitude of other hobbies, but now its time to get wound up about the return of the footie!
Most of it has already been covered off, but to me both trials were impressive and showed last year certainly wasnt a fluke and there is reason to believe with this team.
Re: Metcalf vs TMM vs CHT, I was impressed with Metcalf and think that he defended well in the trials but the key thing was the added option as a kicker. TMM doesnt have that in his game and most people spoke of the reads and defense he had over Metcalf last year (I was one of those tbh), but felt he showed enough to say he has worked on those parts of his game in the off season. I am a big fan of TMM and am especially impressed by his story, but feel that the hunger in Metcalf may be stronger to really crack this team. CHT is definite 3rd cab off the rank, but a great player to have in the wings and also long term with the club.
Re: Bench. I would give first crack to with Walker, Jazz, Marata, and Ale. Lussick 18th man but any slip up from Jazz he will be overtaken. I just feel the potency of the Walker/Jazz combo last year was epic when it was on and feel last weeks trial wouldve put a rocket up Jazz. Can appreciate the want to give Egan a spell and manage his minutes too, so will trust whatever call Webby makes.
Lastly, I thought yesterday was Team List Tuesday, so what a fizzer it turned out to be to have to wait another week!
