My team at this point would be:
1. Hoffman
2. Mead
3. Roberts
4. Don
5. Gordon
6. Sezer
7. Mortimer
8. Douglas
9. Falloon
10. James
11. Myles
12. Taylor
13. Bird
14. Hala
15. Burr
16. Pettybourne
17. Moseley
Henry tips players to watch
A good sportsbet market would be where Zillman will fit in for Rnd 1.
What would you bet on?
Fullback 2.50/1
Wing 5/1
Centre 3/1
Halves 8/1
Bench/Reserve - 10/1
Left Out/Q Cup - 10/1
Injured/Faking Injury because he was left out - 5/1
I usually try to not read too much in to a coach's comments, but i think Neil may have tipped off his preferred backline at the 30 sec mark when he rattled off Mead, Zillman, Roberts & Don. Also sounds like Moseley might be firmly in the mix for a role off the bench.
I noticed that too. Maybe he is thinking:
1. Hoffman
2. Mead
3. Zillman
4. Roberts
5. Don
*Titanic, Pete and HS please note that the above is Neil's possible backline and not mine
That being said he has noted that the trials will play a big part (which I think they will) so we will have to wait and see.

I think I am in the minority here but I am feeling really confident for season 2015. Our team is not that bad and we have a few quality players chucked in there such as Myles, Bird, Taylor, Hoffman and I would have to think Mead. If our halves can combine well and form a good combo with the backs in attack then we should be able to score some points (from set plays and not just kicks/intercepts/luck). Everyone is tipping us to finish bottom 4 but I honestly think we will finish in the 8 or maybe just miss it. Maybe I'm just too positive and bias
Good call T4L, you are not alone and in fact I am the only one on here tipping us bottom four (see the poll, that's my lonesome vote) but it's not all bad as I qualify that by saying that as long as we compete and give the younger brigade a shot then I'll be very content.

Four reasons to escape to Queensland: Sun, Surf, Sand & the Titans.
Titans get taste of Origin
Aspiring Origin players Kane Elgey, Keirran Moseley (Queensland), Aidan Sezer (pictured) and Ryan James (Blues) (pictured) spent time in Maroons and Blues camps this week.
Greg Bird, a Blues regular, was also in the Sydney camp.
Ryan, Aidan and Kane talk here about the experience and being recognised as being in the selectors' eyes.

Moseley looking very silky in the clip.
Looks like Roberts will be playing on the left this year. He was training there the entire time when I watched their training and it appears that he has been there all pre-season.
There was a good shot there of Elgey dislodging the ball from Ingram or Robinson or whoever it was when they ran short off Hazard. Younger squad members getting stuck in always good to see.
It is promising to have a hooker, halfback and a five eighth in the squad who are all in emerging camps for their respective states. Promising signs for the spine of our team in the future
Love that hit that Burr and Hazard put on someone. Gets Roberts real fired up too
