Its hard to ignore the fact that Gordon had all Colts grades make the grand finals in 2018. Surely that makes players take notice and may even have swayed some to move. IMO I think there is a stronger link to Gordon's 2018 success than any sudden desire to do what the usual suspects have been...

So after raiding the piggie bank to fund an overhaul of the coaching staff how much money do you think is left to use for player recruitment? Other than a couple of notable exceptions aren’t most Shute Shield clubs doing it tough or has a rainbow touched down at Chatswood?

Good question, however you’d have to wonder why they are playing him off the bench in colts? Would it have something to do with the top three SD grade squads being out of finals contention? Reckon SD have the go ahead to play him and you’ll see him as part did of their colts squad in the finals.

Don’t know, maybe the warehouse at the Corporation has a new inventory management system? Uni aren’t the only ones. It seems Souths even played Sama Malolo last week. I’m sure if we checked the top 6 teams would all be “qualifying” players for the finals. Everyone knows it’s happening and...

IIRCC they did this last year and created a whole bunch of expectations that amounted to nothing, so why continue the farce? Maybe they should rename the invited players into two groups called “bugger all chance” and “snowflake’s chance in hell”

“Fair and astute” obviously means something very different these days.

I watched the Two Blues go down by 60 odd points to 30 against Gordon last Saturday.

With two rounds of colts trials completed what have we learnt? Is anyone out there ready and bullish enough to make early predictions on who is going to make the finals based on trial form.

Now that we are nearing trials hopefully you'll get the stragglers who didn't want to put themselves through the pre-season, show up. But regardless 10-15 down is a significant hit over 3 grades....
