Utai is awesome dude. Did you not watch him last year. Lol.

Also Koroibete > Tupou every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

They won't mark each other. They both play on the left side. It will be a bad mismatch for Utai up againt a 198cm giant who scored a hattrick last time. Koroibete is a gun though. Expect them both to be on the score sheet.

Thanks for the post Vic. I missed the trial though heard similar pal. Moltzen is overrated in my opinion and not regular first grader.

When both are fully fit tedesco is miles ahead of moltzen. I was willing to give moltzen the benefit of the doubt with a new coach but he showed me nothing on Saturday to say he has changed his game. I would have prefered Meaney or Simona give a run at 1 in the trials but it doesn't appear that will happen.

Will be interesting to see how the Tigers boys perform under a new coach. I'll be reserving my judgment until at least round ten. As long as I see them giving their all for the full 80mins & not giving up I will class this season as an improvment. Was absolutely disgusted with some performances last year. Imagine having a team that plays for the full 80mins not 60 & knowing what sort of performance they are going to bring week in week in out, ahhhhh the dream.

Big surprise, SBW nowhere to be seen. I wonder how much of a theme this is going to be at the Roosters this season.

Why the heck is this at Allianz. Wasted opportunity to take games elsewhere, for no gain in crowd.
