LIVE GAME Trial 2 V Roosters..

[Demps]

He is a loss but we have a very good replacement coming and for less money. Still the right decision from WT

Seems they've finally figured out just giving him early ball is the way to go.

Need to figure out putting Oli G and Laurie in space next.

Even Jimmy deserves a shout out.
He tried to create a few things tonight.

 

[Demps]

So, Hastings finally donned the jersey...

Outplayed Brooks and Nofo... non event.

Captain material yet !?

To be fair half those players in the first half will be playing reserves for the roosters

I’m yet to see you say something positive.

 

[Tiger5150]

After all the talk of Oli Gildart being undersized, he has looked very strong in these 2 trials, particularly tonight searching for the footy and not making Bone head decisions with ball in hand. I was especially impressed tonight

looked good in attack, needs to learn to count in defence.

which puts us in the same position still out of the 8
if we had both than that's a very strong 2nd row

Are you talking about the try he let in?
Naiqamas?

That was a rough one.
No winger as Kennedy made the tackle.
Had a job to do, on his own, failed.

I think he'll get better as the year goes on.
Looked solid overall but yeah things to work on, he's not alone with that though.

I love Lucy.

Good to see him having a red hot go in his final year with us.

Hope he keeps it up for the whole season and after that he can take it easy.

I think in the future we will realise that Tuilagi will be a bigger loss (if true).

 

[TheDaBoss]

The whole team has a lot to take away from

I thought dias played well to in limited minutes, 2x better than last week...he had some good support action, broke quite a few tackles and ran hard.

Another smokey for late season maybe

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

We will miss Luciano

Papali’i is similar

 

[Merlot]

Hastings will be great for us. Will make the haters eat humble pie

the rooters basically fielded a same 4 same side as us.

I’m yet to see you say something positive.

Killa does make a good point tho

 

[Tiger5150]

Both tries Gildart was in the wrong position and could have shut it down if he was on the right man.

That was a rough one.
No winger as Kennedy made the tackle.
Had a job to do, on his own, failed.

Agreed that Ken was dragged out of position but we had more men on that short side than they did. Its a crime if you out number them in defence and someone goes in untouched. Not all Gildarts fault that one but didnt number up.

I think he'll get better as the year goes on.

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

I’m yet to see you say something positive.

I’ve provided positive feedback for Hastings, Ken, Peachy, Laurie, Pau, Madden

As a team there are things to work on in my opinion.

I’ll take your feedback on board and try to increase my positive posts in the live game thread next time

It’s an oversight to not include him in the fab 5 nonsense.
He looks a natural leader to me.

Can't disagree at all.

Mixed bag for Oli but looks promising.
Had a decent game tonight despite what you've pointed out.

 

[StarswithStripes]

Feeling better about Round 1 than I did after last week. Plenty to work on but plenty to like from tonight. I liked how we stayed in the game and still had energy to finish. That’s what we expect from the pre season and was good to see. Good signs.

I'd go as far to say we don't need 5 ...
With a natural leader like him in the team.
1 is enough.

Why hasn't any one suggested such a move sooner !?

I’d say he turned it down to concentrate on returning to the NRL he has a lot he wants to prove to the haters

VS a weakened stork outfit.
Won't be like our last outing against them, one would hope


Might see no Tamou and Liddle in the team either which wouldn't be a bad thing.

Agreed. They need to solve that one if there is still time.
