It will likely be on Kayo for anyone who has it.

I wonder why Josh Cook isn’t playing and Kalokalo not named at all for any team?

#9

I thought the same thing. Both train with the NRL squad so you’d think they’d be close to getting a run.

#10

Im pretty sure it was mentioned about a week or two ago that J.Cook picked up a minor injury but should be right by round 1.

I forgot about that, would have to assume Kalo Kalo has picked up an injury of sorts too.

NRL.com may have the highlights

I think this Griffith game is a great idea, great for the region and a good chance for the fringe / younger guys to blow off some steam.
Similar with the charity shield in Mudgee.
Good stuff.

So no Amone ?

I think it might be restricted to players who have played less than 12 games in 2020

Tommy is still recovering from an ACL, he will be available for, around Round 8.
He is still on train and trial contract until a roster spot opens up.
Changes can still be made up until June 30.
