LIVE GAME Trial 2 vs. Dragons

[tigerballs]

Batemans going to have to put a rocket up this mob

From the bench

 

[Mighty Mouse]

We should sign Lomax and Sua.
Two players who'd massively improve our squad.

Absolutely. Lomax is quality. But instead we buy olam

April 14th

Let's beat these clowns when it counts.

 

[Moh]

I don't get the whole it's just a trial - a trial is your chance to put your best foot forward and secure a spot.

So crap man.

Wouldn't play Galvin because I don't want to ruin him, but I was impressed with his confidence the most.

 

[old_man_tiger]

That was pretty terrible. However we've had a lot of good trials in crap seasons so I'm not any more worried or disgusted than usual.

Worst thing was the same general lack of intent that no other first grade shows as consistently as us is still there.

Best thing probably seeing we have a couple of exciting spine prospects who held their own in the last 20.

 

[Asu Kepaoa's #1 Fan]

Alex Lobb is promising. Good in the air and carries strong out of his own end.

Work in progress

Simpkin offers nothing other than a pass from dummy half. If that's all he's good for, then we don't need to waste a bench spot on him.

Galvin starts over Sullivan for mine.

Hard to get much out of that for the backs. It looks like we had no answers and didn't throw much at them. Halves an issue once again.

Lobb not amazing, but he is the only aerial threat. Need to use him more. He's gotta start. Staines was average.

 

[Tom Shines]

Absolutely. Lomax is quality. But instead we buy olam

Chris McQueen and his gimpy neck might end up being better than Olam

 

[tigerbenji]

Judging by that game safe to say If sezer goes down we will have a Galvin latu fainu halves pairing!! Would still like to see Jake Simpkin given a run at lock

Mate I think you could be onto something with Simpkin going to lock, nothing to loose.

 

[Mighty Mouse]

Yeh sure it was a trial. But at full strength would you prefer to look good with workable combinations or dog shite. Pretty obvious which one right?

 

[weststigers]

What happened to Alaimalo?

 

[Demps]

Thoughts on Bula?

Running down Sloane was good and the step to score, outstanding.

Like him to be more involved from start to finish. Kid has a big future but still room for improvement.

 

[Mighty Mouse]

Locker room looks terrible - are these fellas mates?

 

[240z]

Staines has to go, reserve grade beckons. Offers nothing. Said it before, should of signed Flanagan when we had the chance.
Only good thing out of the game, is we have 3 weeks to go to fix this crap, and Galvin!

We have had 10 years to fix this crap - 3 weeks aint gunna fix it

 

[Todd Packer]

She'll be right.
It's all a cleverly crafted scheme to have us fly under the radar and ambush the Raiders.
It's genius.

 

[Demps]

Locker room looks terrible - are these fellas mates?

They look mad.
So they should.

Benji & Robbie look very unimpressed.
Fainu looked especially angry.

That was a woeful performance
No smiles tonight.

It’s very clear attack wise our structure is terrible.
We need to sort that out to let Bula have the energy to play attack.

Bula can’t do everything defending like he does and then break games open with attack multiple times a game.

 

[Vicious]

I think they’ve mastered the one out running.

It’s very boring and predictable seeing one out hit ups on almost every 4th tackle.

You can just see Klemmer thinking “Here we go again “…
