I will make my decision after the second trial. I may even watch back the first trial game.

Easy.
Yeah, I'll wait for the second trial too. It makes a huge difference when you have the likes of Ponga, Lucas, Best, Gagai, etc back in the side.

If you know footy you know Owey is the only choice.

Cogger has been training at 7 all pre-season and all the plays we have spent 3 months working on have been with Cogger at the centre.
It would be mental to just chuck 3 months work out and start again with a few weeks to go.
I suppose O'Brien might be tricking everyone and he has another plan up his sleeve - but either way, O'brien and the team already know who our 7 is, and they aren't changing unless injuries force them to.

I must say, I make Gamble look like Martin Offiah

Yeah and at the end of the day Gamble is a 6. It’s pretty clear that’s how the coaching staff sees him and it’s how he sees himself. He’s an unusual 6, but he’s a 6.
AOB did say before the game yesterday that he was flexible around halfback, didn't he? (I was only half listening). And he definitely wasn't afraid to try different halves options last year.
Defence wins games

Surely even Obi can see how useless Cogger is in defence. Last night he got trampled every time someone ran at him. Other teams and their coaches won’t take long to work that out.

Cogger just can't get his body in front. He tries to use a shoulder but gets bumped off. I think his reach is small so he can't get a wrap on an attacker. If he just puts his whole body in the picture he might slow the opposition enough.
Gamble makes tackles he shouldn't. It'll be interesting but a defensive liability is 60% a problem if not accounted for by the blokes beside you. When your the knights we can't have that as we can't defend half chances.

Any chance we sign Brown,
Parra get the ****s,
And early swap Brown for a Brailey/Cogger combo?

Have we been given any confirmation that we’ve trained all off season with Cogger at 7? A lot of the leaks from training were that Gamble was at 7. Cogger would have definitely trained at 7, but doesn’t sound like he was the only one at all.
Yeah he essentially said that Sharpe was locked in but he was still deciding between two players for the 7.
Yeah didn't someone on here literally go to watch them train and Gamble was at 7? I could be wrong.
Yeah the guy here said both Cogger and Gamble had a go at 7 when he went.
Someone from the media was leaked a different session and Gamble was the 7.

That Cleary fella would make a good 7 for the Knights.
It was Cogger for about 75% of the session and Gamble took over at the end
