We've finally reached the first Team List Tuesday of 2023, and while many months-long conundrums have been answered, a stack of questions have been raised ...
[Tesi Niu](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/tesi-niu/) and [Jamayne Isaako](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/jamayne-isaako/) are a lacklustre wing pairing, it could be points galore for the Chooks. [Kieran Foran](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/kieran-foran/) will steady the ship in a new halves combination with [Tanah Boyd](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/tanah-boyd/) as the [Gold Coast Titans](https://www.zerotackle.com/nrl/teams/gold-coast-titans/) ring in five club debutants, including rookie [Alofiana Khan-Pereira](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/alofiana-khan-pereira/), who bagged six tries in two trial games. [Zero Tackle Season Guide](https://www.zerotackle.com/product/2023-nrl-season-guide/?utm_source=organic&utm_medium=banner&utm_content=bottom) is back! [Luke Keary](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/luke-keary/), who copped a head knock at training and was in some doubt. [Tom Starling](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/tom-starling/) in the No. [Sydney Roosters](https://www.zerotackle.com/nrl/teams/sydney-roosters/), whilst still short-priced favourites to beat the Dolphins in the latter's maiden [NRL](/) match, they'll be doing so without a lot of troops. [Royce Hunt](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/royce-hunt/) was ruled out. [Jack Williams](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/jack-williams/) takes his bench spot, and while he runs hard and makes his tackles, his handling issues have cost Cronulla on numerous occasions. [Jordan Rapana](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/jordan-rapana/) has been the natural choice in years gone by, but even he admits his legs are a little old for the role now, opening the door for [Harley Smith-Shields](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/harley-smith-shields/) to play his first [NRL](/) game in 18 months at left centre. [Adam O'Brien](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/adam-obrien/) has also surprised a few with his forward pack, naming [Kurt Mann](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/kurt-mann/) as a starting lock over recruit [Adam Elliott](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/adam-elliott/), who missed both trials with hip and ankle injuries. [Josh Hodgson](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/josh-hodgson/) will have no back-up hooker, and coming off an ACL injury, 80 minutes is a big ask, as is no backline coverage with injury clouds above three of their backs. [Parramatta Eels](https://www.zerotackle.com/nrl/teams/parramatta-eels/) have gone risky with their bench selection, playing four big forwards in [Jirah Momoisea](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/jirah-momoisea/), [Jack Murchie](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/jack-murchie/), [Makahesi Makatoa](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/makahesi-makatoa/) and [Wiremu Greig](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/wiremu-greig/), leaving grand final try-scorer [Jakob Arthur](https://www.zerotackle.com/players/jakob-arthur/) languishing in the reserves.

Phil Sami moves in from the wing with Alofiana Khan-Pereira to make his NRL debut after running in four tries in the trial win over the Dolphins. Angus Crichton has stepped away from rugby league while dealing with bipolar disorder, with no timeline set for his return to the NRL. Brandon Smith will get first crack at hooker and with Watson out, Drew Hutchison will be his back-up off the bench. The Cowboys could have had a readymade replacement in the second row with Heilum Luki but he is not due to make a comeback from an ACL tear until around the start of April. Campbell is on the interchange. Charlies Staines makes his club debut on the wing for Maumalo. Zac Woolford cemented the starting hooker’s spot mid-season with Tom Starling reverting to his bench role and Ricky Stuart now has another option with Danny Levi at the club. Jason Saab being out until midway through the season with a knee injury means Christian Tuipulotu will get a sustained chance to build on last year’s efforts. Joey Manu is out for the Roosters four weeks after being left with a dent in his face from an accidental elbow. Isaiya Katoa has won the race ahead of Anthony Milford, who was named on an extended bench. The 28-year-old also suffered another setback late in the pre-season, when sidelined by ankle injury after a training mishap. Very sad for Luke and the club.
