2026 trial games (non WTs)

[innsaneink]

Had a look at both games last night on and off...

I thought Sandon Smith went well for the Knights...hell be a good but for them.
Knights have a huge amount of ralent in the backs..Fletcher hunt is a goer...their roster seems so unbalanced...Dragons were pretty bad i dont know how they won this game...unfortunately rhey reminded me of us a lot.
Pretty void of ideas.

Dogs showed some ticker in nearly snatching a win being down by 20 something...cowboys no possesion in the 2nd half i think most of their top players were rested in the 2nd spell.

Full round of games next weekend starting Thur night

Dogs had Justin Matamua & Alex Conti & Mikey Nasser? in their squad. Justin scored a nice try, looked fitter than in recent years. Alex threw a lovely harbour bridge pass to Nasser in the final minutes.

Gold Coast jerseys get worse every year. Their sales must be so low

I can't help but feel that the 2026 season will be very evenly contested. It will be a much closer comp then previous years. I think everyone is expecting the Broncos to win another premiership but it won't be easy for them.

I think Brisbane fall off a bit and the Storm or Penrith go past them. Realistically the NRL hasn’t thrown up a lot of surprises for a fair while now.

I thought Brisbane winning the comp last year was a surprise.
They had to beat 3 teams that were playing better footy than them in a row…I didn’t think they’d beat any of them.

They were gone when they lost both their halves on one freak play, season cooked.

Walsh and their forwards found their best form and they rode that all the way.

Not sure how sustainable that is.
