So what’s the plan when SJ plays ?
Surely can’t have Trindall and Moylan on the bench ?

In an ideal world later in year
Trindall half , Johnno 5/8 and Moylan bench

I’d prefer
6. Moylan
7. SJ
14. Trindall
Not because I’m on the “Chad bashing band wagon” but more to see if these 3 are our halves for next year (or longer).
After all both SJ and Moylan are on big bucks and are meant to be our marquee halves.
Chad is our budget half (so we keep being reminded) and is off to another club next season so why not try the above?

And as soon as say SJ signs somewhere else, he's out as well.

Is that a question?

Yeah that would be ok also.
I said SJ 7 and Moylan 6 only because thats what Hannay might actually do.
I'd like to see Trindall starting, even in the backrow.

They are still playing for contracts so gives them the chance to showcase what they are still capable of and for Fitz to get a better look at Trindall.

I’m fine with that.
I’ve always been open to a “ball playing lock” (as back in the 70’s - 80’s eras, Gavin Miller type player).
Bird could have been that for us when he was here. Trindall might work (although a bit smaller in size).
This from yesterday's SMH article. Sounds like Hannay's open to dropping Chad, but while the journo mentions 'factoring in the future' it'll only be if he thinks it'll help us win games this year.
Caretaker Cronulla coach Josh Hannay has total control over team selections - not Fitzgibbon - until the end of the year, and is determined to pick the best 17 players he thinks can win, while also factoring in the future and which players will be at the club beyond this year.
As for picking Townsend the rest of the year, ahead of a youngster like Trindall, Hannay said: “When Chad first signed with the Cowboys I told him, ‘This won’t be held against you and we will always pick the 17 that we feel gives us the best chance of winning, and if it’s you, you’ll get picked’. In the same way Chad made a decision that was in his best interests, as a club we reserve the right to make decisions that are in our best interests.”
The right move in terms of winning games this year, sure. But I'd be keen for us to turn our attention to the future as soon as finals are beyond reach.
May have been interested in having a ball handling 13 (he is used to Radley) in preparation for McInnes coming.
May also be the case that the difficult to see but loved by coaches #1 skills Chad has (executing gameplan) is not a developed skill of Trindalls.
Trindall at lock allows Chad to still do this AND allows Trindall on with Chad to see/hear it action to help his development in this area.
Being able to start to replicate how good Chad apparently is at this would be a big help for Trindall securing more field time.
Perhaps Trindall will even be the mythical one to direct the team around so well it stands out on highlight reels even when our forward pack are being dominated and we can't hold the ball.

if he can point with his finger and his voice box works then yea he can 'direct the team around'
if he can throw inside balls and put in **** kicks then yea he can 'game manage'
if he can run with pace from first receiver despite a slow play the ball... oh wait Chad can't do that
If Trindall is afforded as many excuses as Chad he will have no trouble at all holding down a spot

If Trindall can play at 13 when he comes on, why not do it from the start and make Toby an edge forward and leave Nikora on the bench.
This statement is very unclear to me
Are you saying we should start Trindall at 13 and leave him there for the game, starting Toby on the edge to interchange with Nikora?
Or start Trindall at 13 and Toby on edge but then Nikora comes on for one or the other and then probably there is another interchange later?
The statement has three very different players playing two different positions only one of whom is an 80 minute forward, and he is the one you've put on the bench.
