LIVE GAME Trial 2 vs. Dragons

[bbobb]

While it was only a trial, the most worrying sign for me apart is that we seem quite small. Big teams are going to run riot against us.

Been saying it for 2 years. Flipper hands AJ as well.

You think AJ was poor tonight?

 

[Tucker]

Actually most people said it was all Brooksy 🤣

He played a MASSIVE MASSIVE role in it.
That said, our backs have been weak for a long time.

I think he is always poor.

Got his arse handed to him in reserve grade lol

Sheeet really? What happened?

Watch it again without the bias. He's a good second rower.

 

[Todd Packer]

The absolute lowlight was Olam.
What the hell have we done there.
He's a friggin wreck.

 

[Tucker]

Really? No good?

They got done by 50 odd.

 

[weststigers]

Ive said it for a while, he's got the passing game solid in defence and runs the ball hard enough from dummy half. I recon he could do well there ay. Yeh that's it what's the worst that could happen. Gotta be better then seyfarth or having pole there in my opinion

Simpkin should be traded immediately. Maybe he is a lock in your video game,.but on a NRL field, he is neither a good hooker, nor lock.

It wasn't just size it was the fact the other mob were aggressive both in attack and defence

There has never been enough acknowledgment that Brooks form fell off a cliff when Tedesco left and they replaced him with a reserve grade backline. Halves need weapons.

Thoughts on Bula?

Running down Sloane was good and the step to score, outstanding.

Like him to be more involved from start to finish. Kid has a big future but still room for improvement.

Dunno why it took an arse kicking from benji at half time for him to get involved....again...
Same last week just sits back and waits....tonite was 12 minutes gone before he touched the ball...last week 20 something...gunna start calling him voyeur, prefers to watch

 

[Vicious]

I don't know why you don't like Bula but your incessant bagging just makes you look like a goose.

You must like the team you follow scoring a maximum of 3 tries per game and have the most boring attack in the games history.
I do like Bula as a player, but he’s not a fullback as he has no idea how play like a halve which the good fullbacks do.

Exactly Ink.
I think you agree that he definitely has talent and is a good ball runner when he chooses to do it, but he’s not the type of hands on ball playing fullback we need while our halves and 13 are well below average.

Just have some common sense, please. He's playing for the wooden spooners, not the premiers.

 

[BAGNF05]

He is not.

I think anyone who supports flippers or Pascoe is just trolling at this point.

You seem to blame Bula for the attacking failures of the entire team …this is a guy still hasn’t played more than 20 NRL games… it will take him 50 to see his best

 

[tigerballs]

He is not.

So what are you judging him on, his time as a winger or centre?
