Don't qlders have 4?

Horrible man 👨 😆

One thing that stood out was the body size between the two teams , the dogs looked a lot bigger than the tigers

We looked like a schoolboy team. Lucky we’ve got that super duper CoE gym to pump some iron and build ourselves up.
Remember the old saying “ a good big team will invariably beat a good small team”,

Good and bad in that game.
Their team are comp winners in the lower grades, and we fairly held them without relying on mostly NRL players like, say, St George did against the rorters.
One kid that unfortunately did himself no favours is Tony Sukkar. Everything the poor bugger touched, turned to mud.
Happy to reserve judgement till next week when we have some go forward and creativity. I hope !

Used to really like Voss but he has degenerated into a complete dribbler

The only good thing about Voss talking was that it meant Cronk wasn’t.

This so true we just don't have enough big players coming through compared to other teams, too many midgets we have a huge area why is there a lack of the bigger player.

Someone threw him a hospital ball early.

Granted, predominantly a team of reserve graders but looked alarmingly similar to 2024. To say otherwise is just wrong based solely off that trial.

Hopefully we’ll see something different this Friday!

I’ll take Voss any day over Ginane. Warren Smith is the best though. The most balanced, just down the line. Have never really heard anyone say they dislike him. The fact he’s never over the top like virtually every other commentator, including the idiot who replaced Rabs, helps his likability.

 

[batboy]

From the players we expect in our starting 13 week to week, I think we looked ok! The rest is just as expected for reserve grade.

Not sure what you’re saying -
They played a reserve grade side…

You’re expecting the reserve graders to not put pressure on the first graders by playing well?

We looked soft for most of today and not up for the battle…

I think Warren smith is a tigers fan, isn’t he?

There were definitely similarities to 2024, like the lack of organisation in attack. I’m hoping Luai will help with this, although he shouldn’t need to scream at players to get them in to position.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Young guys that deserve a wrap,
Lachlan Broederlow looked very strong against the Bulldogs starters, kit Laulilii really grew in confidence looked very good running straight and hard.
Noah Johannssen looks a real prospect, hes raw and still a long way away, but he's one that i would be investing time in looks a goer to me

Noah was a mixed bag, but I saw enough to be deserving of a little perseverance.

 

[Merlot]

Faataape is always in the mix of a try being scored

 

[Tiger Stripes]

The boys playing with more freedom now that one person isn’t dominating every attacking play.

Noah has a few errors in him

Take out his youthful errors, younger/less experience than Tim. I thought he was the better of the two.

Balmain fan in the day

 

[Tim Sheens]

Faataape is always in the mix of a try being scored

Came out on top today with 2 scored and 1 given, but he also threw the flick to assist another.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

I really, really like Heath Mason. I don't know if he'll ever be a consistent and good first grade NRL player - and I certainly don't have a starting spot for him, but his attitude and hunger to be in anything and everything is really awesome to watch.

Skelton needs a spot in our side, and will be very useful with those carries.

That's what trials are all about. Gauging what we have, who shines out.

got ambushed by a few supporters at the 15 minute mark, we looked in control of the game until then,did we win ,lol

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Wouldn’t take too much from this game overall. Was basically a Flegg game for the most part.

Kit and Tavana looked the best of the young guys.

Concerning that T. Johannssen was being out muscled by Flegg kids. Faataape still has work to do on defense.

TDS and Latu were both fairly quiet.

Skelton will be an asset starting sets and bringing the ball out of our own end.

I thought No19 was everywhere in attack and defence [Broederlow]. A great young prospect!
And No 16-Jaxson Rahme got my attention as well. Outplayed his compatriot, Sukkar IMO.
Latu fairly quiet------was he there? Needs to get a voice ------ and the ball.
Not very excited about his future unless he pulls the finger out; very soon. Can't live on potential forever.

Roach knows his footy. He is guilty sometimes of stating the obvious like it’s important info, but yes he is pretty good. I like Smith as well.

That's the third time I've agreed with Tucker Wow
