Did not hear that one. Had heard there would be mentoring of incumbents by outsiders

I thought Jason Brewer was assistant to Fraser.

Snouts are reporting Rod Cutler has been pinched from Parra as Assistant Coach to Fraser for 2015. And he's already jumped in the seat and is working extremely hard at bringing several of the Two Blues players with him.
Some times I think we need a dislike button

Word on the street is that Fraser has brought along a number of the fellas he coached last year for the NSW Country Cockatoos. Peter Nau (Dubbo) and Paulie Tuala (Illawarra & NSW Country Eagles) are two that apparently have signed up, but it wouldn't be a big surprise to see a few more. Anyone able to shed a little more light?

How are things going with Fraser now running the show? Good numbers in grade/colts as the season approaches?
Any word on trial matches: dates, locations and opponents?
the coach
Bob Davidson (42)
Not sure if this is still current but this is the latest I heard:
28/2 v Parramatta (Granville?)
7/3 v Easts (Latham Park)
14/3 v Manly (Coogee?)

Not a great start to season 2015 for grade teams. Zero from four against Woodies. On the bright side colts won all grades.

The score lines were not good, with the exception of reserve grade where a missed kick or two was unfortunate.
Through all grades , Eastwoods defence and ability to line up out wide quickly was impressive. They monstered the scrums all day and spun it wide to cause the Wicks defence huge headaches. The scrambling defence by Wicks was impressive but not enough to prevent runaway scores.
Fourths need some speed, thirds can only get better and need to gel as a team and have a very good 7 (the beatle)
Reserves had Bennett and Harrod playing very well and looked good as a team.
Firsts will only get better especially if Horwitz and Norton can spend a bit more game time together.
The scrum machine will probably get worked over this week.

How did the young centre from Newington, Latu Latunipulu, go? Surprised to see a young man with strong family links to the Hobbits turn out in the Myrtle Green.
A big step up from 1st XV to first grade Shute Shield.
Is Brogan Roods in Team Rehab again? I always though he showed a heap of promise as a Schoolboy but he seems to have spent more time on the Injured List than the Playing Roster since he left school.

Dont know who he was, but the 13 was introduced to first grade by an experienced eastwood midfield which had him leaving on the arms of the physios.
Eyes looked slightly vacant but went off with a pronounced limp

I don't think Latu played, although I'm not familiar with some of the new faces yet. I'm fairly sure Seamus Frost played at 13 (from 1st colts 2014) and was injured as per Sid's post. Brogan Roods was replaced at half time in the trial v Easts -- not sure if he played the following week v Manly.

Just keeping up from afar and without the 7Two giving replays of the game in QLD.
Is there a few injuries post trials? Goodbody not playing and TC in 3's?

I think Goodbody was injured in the trials, but he was at TGMilner on Saturday looking very fit, although not playing. TC has been with the NSW 7s team and missed some of the trials which might explain his 3s selection.
not to polished a performance by the wicks despite the win. Most pleasing for me was the half back he is definately a welcome addition also the fullback looks handy and talaki up front. Horwitz good in first half , think he is best suited to 12. 1sts should feature deegan at 5/8 horwitz inside and kuki outside kellaway on the wing. Hanigan is ready for the second row too
