Let's be honest its time for our team for 2021!

Jake Saifiti and Brailey have done interviews before the first training session. I'm surprised Jake is training since it seems to be only the new guys and players who missed a lot of games last year who are starting now. The senior guys have a few more weeks off because of the late end of last season I think.
Jake says O'Brien wants him to bulk up. I thought losing a few kg really improved his game last year.
Brailey says he is going to do full training and is good to go except for a few contact areas.
 
Jake did say that O'Brien wants him bigger AND fitter - sounds like code for "can you be another Daniel".

Round 1 team prediction.
1.Hoy
2.Lee
3.Best
4.Tuala
5.Hunt
6.Crossland
7.Pearce
8.Klem
9.Brailey
10.Dan
11.Friz
12.Barnett
13.Watson

14.Mann
15.Jacob
16.Fitz
17.King

Ponga and Green still recovering, I think.
Clifford in for Crossland if he comes for 2021.
 
Based off what's happened before I can't see Crosslands starting 6, I would thing either Hoy, Mann or Watson would be there before him.
 
I would be surprised if Watson starts at 13 in front of Mann for game 1. Watson played less than 80 minutes of football last season, due to unfortunate injuries, and I expect him to be eased into the season from the bench. Ruptured achilles tendon is a major injury and OBI will increase his game time over the first month of the season. Watson’s injury record since arriving at the Knights will dictate that.

For mine Mann and Watson are interchangeable between 13 & 14.
I think they will swap many times throughout the season.
I also can't decide who would be better at either position.

Maybe an unpopular comment but if our 4-5 is the same at the end of the year I can't see us going deep again, they are of the Ken Sio won't lose you game model but won't win you win either.

Do we know if the Cowboys have anymore players coming through for us? Could use another centre and backrower for mine?

@cowboyman who else are you grooming for us?

Zammit will have this covered so we can be sure any of the talent coming off contract, we will be interested in.

We will probably get Tal at some point when he is tired of losing up there through his Zammit connection.
