NRL/ISP Trials V NZ Warriors LIVE GAME THREAD*

only a trial so not the end of the world,

but,

we look like we lack excitement in our team. where is the spark going to come from? the guys are playing boring, safe, uninspiring…

Benji and Farrah, they look truly old today.
 
Brooks has looked good. Jennings, Matterson both been good. Garner good. Farah has been good. Mikaele promising. Everyone else has been coasting. I'd hope to see some solid effort off the bench guys pushing some spots.

The new forum can’t handle a trial game , what’s going to happen when we make the GF ?
 
Attack too side to side. When we look dangerous support play is lacking or dropped ball.

Linespeed started okay and dropped off in the heat.

Brooks good. Marshall so so
 
Benji looks way worse than Farah, we can't expect to play finals footy with Benji as our starting 6
 
Mikaele good effort Twal solid Brooks and Matterson look promising Did Packer and Matulino play?

Looking forward to Reynolds replacing Benji.
 
Brooks was our best player by miles, excellent in defence.
Farah and Marshall were invisible the same as our chicken heart paper strong starting props and lock, the three of them run fantastic 3 cm!!
Twal and Mikaele are miles ahead of both of our highly paid props`.
Solid games by Matterson and Garner.
 
Halftime view from me

* forwards are burnt already
* benji poor options are killing us
* garner is trying and in defense solid
* mikalea & twal are out most effective forwards
* matterson needs more ball
* nofo nothing has changed in defense - stay on your man!!!

Getting lots of these !!!
 
Nofo needs a good half or he could be in reggies again imo. Thomo solid and jennings runs it hard
 
I missed the first ten minutes but I though Farah likes sharp.

Mikaele looks promising. Big body who takes a lot of defenders to take him down. Makes good post contact metres. His fitness and mobility under fatigue will determine where he goes from here.

Garner - good defensive technique and involvement.

Matterson - good vision and a classy player. Adds heaps to the team.

Brooks made some good one on one tackles against Papalii and RTS.

Benji looks off the pace early.

Defensive out wide is a perennial problem.

Timing and execution is poor in attack. Back line sweeps look predictable and clunky. Didn’t create any space.

Warriors line speed is good. They won the ruck in attack and defence.
