Well, we have to hand it to the Committee for this change of forward try scoring, as it really does make you think about who is going to make the starting side. Some very good (traditionally) virtual names being left out of the side, with all respect to our opponents (BOOOsters), but me thinks it may be a few weeks for most teams to really discover who the "every weekers" will be.

Rumour also has it that Campbelltown local Ryan Hoffman is already on the outer at Goulburn, as he has been asked after this week to learn how to play winger. IF there are any coaches who would like to provide us with a proper winger for young (old) Ryan, please let me know and we can sort it after round 4.

Folks, as always, we will list our teams on the forum for all to see, ensuring they are in before the scheduled kick-off of the first game (scheduled as in what time the NRL says kick-off will be - for example, Eels vs Broncos this Thursday night is scheduled for 7.05pm - http://www.nrl.com/draw/telstrapremiership/draw/tabid/11180/default.aspx)

We also ask you to email your coach your team as a courtesy, because that is how we roll

Good luck all!
