This game and it's players change constantly, 12mths ago, who would have thought we would have the roster we have now? I n the next 24mths another 12 or more stars, will come through, we just have to keep space and money to pounce, The future looks good, As a side bar,the way Simkins has...

So true, Kepoea was in everything, his energy was driving the side, Tupou was better,but along with To'a they look like they need a rocket up their bums to keep them awake.

Sorry mate, but the guys who handle the ball the most, also make the most errors, and are targeted the most. Take the last trial, AD lost the ball at crucial stages, and still had a good game. Getting repeat sets is a lot easier for Cleary, they form an umbrella around him. The value of a top...

The trial was great, but has also given the opposition the chance see the makeup, and playing style of our team. Laurie was good, and very busy, but i am concerned every time a high ball goes his way. You can bet there will be many kicks going his way.

I watched the game again today, he was by far the best player on the day. He is now top class.

i think Trials are a separate identity.

One trial we were terrible, and half our side should be booted. The next trial the other side is terrible, and all the players walk on water. The team structures, offence, defence, passing , offloading , a credit to the coaching. Let's see how our heroes perform against a quality side, before...

The ideas expressed on this forum regarding the Moses plus Brooks deal is pure speculation. Do people really think Sheens is a fool ? The big picture is simple, we want to see, how the whole side performs with a far better forward pack. Then decisions will be made about the whole sides...

Ridiculous reply, i gave credit to AD for a good game. I hope he has more of them, the same for Brooks. I follow the Tigers , i want all to perform. Future immortal ? Bad game every week ? Keep making trash up, with nothing based on truth, or learn comprehension.

Great post, and Simpkins showed he will be a very good player for us, now , and even better with Api's influence in the future.

Earl , AD started badly, but did some good things, the whole side played well in this ambush. When you flog a side by 30 they all look like champions. Take a chill pill, there was much to like about the teams defence and ball work , but AD and others have not faced the acid test yet. You...

AD played well against a side that played like schoolboys. The test will come when he gets targeted by the good sides. Both AD and Brooks both need to perform against the better sides, this trial is no true indication of future success. We are still missing strike players, that are needed...

You cannot have a fullback that is bad under a high ball. DCE,Cleary, Munster and all the teams will have a field day with Laurie at the back. Stains is solid. fast, and still very young, he will get better. It's only a matter of time, there is no one else:- Stains at fullback.

We all needed to see the improvement in this game. But it is a trial. Reality is just around the corner, when the big guns come out. Enjoy the win it was great, and stay optimistic, but tough times ahead.

As Hoppa said ; Finger licking good !

Klem. Simpkin. Paps, They were the driving force that that set the example.

Laurie gone after 2 games, he's not a fullback. He should keep training as a backup for the halves, but is a talented and big hearted player.

The big difference was, they hunted as a pack in defence, and attack like all the good sides,.Last year it was 13 individuals. If they can maintain that, we will build the character , and confidence, that has been missing for years.

The one he kicked, and Noffa was offside, was obviously a planned move. It was a great kick, but Noffa was asleep. He looked dangerous to me, with limited chances. He can take a high ball, Lauri is awffull and will be found out. Stains can kick, and i have not seen this from Laurie, early days...

Laurie was busy and played well, but terrible under the high ball. Against the good kicking sides eg, all the top 8 , he will be found out. I would keep Stains handy as he looks as cool as a cucumber, and i think he will be fullback before long.,. But Laurie is playing well , and deserves to be...
