JPB still in rehab, I think.

Re Taia - it's just a number. He's not listed as a centre, he's listed as having the number 4 on the back of his shirt.

Zeb played a lot of prop last season, but he is basically a second row who has been known to play centre when there are injuries during a game.
He spent a fair while at the knights defending next to Scot Dureau, with the main job of looking after Scot.
It could be that they are looking at him defending in the centres so Scot can defend out wide.

Thanks for thaat piece of Newcastle Knights inside information.

Worst post ever but:

We had a french winger - forgot his name - after Vincent went to TO, showed promise, played some games, not in the squad. It would help if I could remember his name. What happened to him?

Also, nice to see Barthau in the squad, I thought he'd been finished off by our dead coach days.

I think the omission of JPB probably tells us a lot about where his fitness is and has been the last season or two.

Poor bugger has been battling to get back in the side only to get knackered straight away again.

Hopefully we have that little bit more in the squad now that will enable him to get proper rehab before tyring for another comeback.

I liked the look of Bousquet. He has bulked up a lot since leaving Barcelona.
