LIVE GAME Preseason Challenge v Eels

[BirchgroveTigers]

Overall I think has been a slightly above average performance for a trial. Forwards look decent albeit against one of the weaker packs. Fitness looks good. Edge defence still a worry. Attack needs to be more clinical but hard to judge with no Bula, Api or Luai. Backs aren’t great but Turuva will be a good addition.

May, Pole and Hunt look very good though.

Hope has annihilated da Silva in only a few mins. Taking advantage of Tals shocker, I'd be happy to have him as our 2nd/3rd choice ahead of Tal at this stage. Attack and defence very good, organising forwards too.

He's young and our future but I agree a year against men in reserves would do him wonders a little like mason. Looks heaps better this year

 

[hodgo]

Hasn't matterson fallen from grace since he left us

Tristan hope looked sharp since coming on … good last week, tds in reggies. Adzy D I have been impressed , big t looks fit . Shithouse for nado was looking solid. Latu love to see him run it more. Too many penalties we gotta fix that up.

 

[FootyEnjoyer]

A lot of positives here, but still struggling with 5th tackle options. Hopefully Luai can go a long way in fixing that

 

[balmain boy]

That was a shocking set in their line. Try and finish the have off, instead pedestrian rubbish. Why is everyone standing still?

 

[coivtny]

Same attack as last year. Get close and hope for the best. Jeez. Latu shows me nothing but he's not alone.

Latu is too good for reserves for me

He will 🙂

Can't be said enough latus defence is first class

 

[Tim Sheens]

You'd want to put your hand up for that one Faataape.

Wait for the full squad mate

 

[Mighty Mouse]

It seems like we’re pretty ordinary close to both goal lines whether attack or defence

Was that the worst pass of all time?

We would have been lapped in this game last year - time will tell. Forever omptimist

Am I crazy for thinking Mason needs to be in the 17 somewhere? I can another club plucking him.

Growing in confidence every game, so dangerous with ball in hand, wouldn't hate him on a wing...

I’ve liked the work of Bird tonight - loved the look of Hunt off the bench too. Good impact there
