LIVE GAME 2023 Trial 1: Wests Tigers v Warriors

[Harvey]

That will instill the kids with confidence.

 

[Tom Shines]

I’d be letting Talau go before I’d let Seyfarth go. He’s not athletic enough for the backline. Hands also not good enough. Doesn’t have a position. We’ve already got enough of those types.

I have never been impressed with what I have seen from him,,. But for some reason he always gets talked up… leave him in the Reggies

 

[Tucker]

Deary me.
If we have to use more than 25 players this year we’re in deep poop.
Our decision not to focus on defence is wretched.

 

[weststigers]

Talau?

Is he covid positive ?

Over hyped to the max

Talau is polarising amongst fans.

I like him and think he has something to offer.

You see it differently.

Respect your opinion.

 

[BrendonWT]

to be honest i came into tonight having very low expectations. but i’m still somehow disappointed.

optimism is a killer.

 

[Kaito]

That result has zero bearing on our
season or 1st's team. Who cares.
wasn't long ago we pasted Manly
in pre season and finished bottom
four while they finished top 4 four

 

[Carefactor]

What it shows is that our depth is a long way behind our top liners. Which is what a lot of us were discussing a few weeks back.
It’s going to be lean for at least another 18 months until they are ready.

This talentless bunch will never be ready 😡

 

[NJLM78]

An improvement on last year. They kept them below 50.

 

[the_third]

Barring Stephano maybe Talau its a 2nd grade team
Next week I think we see a proper side

yeah I just hope we get a decent game plan

 

[palms]

Settle down gents, re-read our trial squads names again. As I said earlier, the ones who needed to do things did. The others were there with a red pen or black pen moving forward who really mean nothing at this stage to our top 30.

 

[king_sirro]

Dear oh dear, what a carry on by the wrist slitters.

Only thing you need to assess in this trial is any players who will or may feature in 23. Of those we have Stef and Pole outstanding. AJ strong and easily ahead of Talau. Staines strong for a back up. Bula definitely has something. Tupou also. Simpkin did well in a beaten team.

Seyfarth clearly made adjustments to his running style, being more effective. Positive as a genuine back up if injuries hit.

I don't think anyone stood out as being disappointing in relation to expectations. Wakeham was exactly what I said he would be, so as poor as he was and is, it's not disappointing when you expect it. Shocking signing.

We had nothing in attack with those halves. Reilly great in defence though which is a good surprise.

No way that side was executing the attack Sheens wants, so relax.

You guys are really really fickle supporters right now .. it’s a trial with our flegg and fringe reserve grade players against a really strong momentum warriors in NZ .. all of our best players are out ..

You think that was the Warriors best out there? Like I said, you have some great optimism.

 

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

Why wasnt Jack Boyling given a shot ???

 

[twentyforty]

I thought Aitasi James showed enough tonight to show he’s a future nrl player.

 

[the_third]

This has Benji written all over it.

its sheenius these next few years

 

[Wiz]

James > Fainu. Unfortunately the latter has the 3 year contract and a top 30 spot.

 

[aturkey]

No surprise. We have had some of the worst youth in the NRL for 10 years. It's a major reason why we've sucked. Luke Brooks is the prime example. All of our best players this year are from other clubs, including big Stef.

 

[Cobarcats]

I have never been impressed with what I have seen from him,,. But for some reason he always gets talked up… leave him in the Reggies

Tommy was way out of whack but brandy disagrees...what game was he watching, was I watching a different game.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

I really hope Camroux is our actual back up half over Reilly, Wakeham and smith

Yeah he looks sharp, like a real footy player, I like the look of him

 

[aturkey]

its sheenius these next few years

You seriously think Benji isn't shadow coaching this team at least a little? Because I think he is for sure.
