Aubusson tore Lawrence a new one last night, in defence and attack. It was actually embarrassing how easy that was for Aubusson after a massive lay off due to injury.
Food for thought.
Nothing wrong with his defense. Looked rusty last night, but only a trial.
Not really. It's a trial.
Hope its not another year where injuries keep our best out. Lets just say Gallen (touch) wood gets injured, Hayne, Uate and Lewis guys that we have mostly agreeded on will be there, who then fills these spots?
You've done it now....
You've done it now....
Do they use different balls in trials or something?
:crazy: Let's not jinx it but the uproar that will happen if an injury does happen.
I'd love Gallen in the squad to win the series the bloke deserves it. Same as a few other players allot of NSW players have out in tons of effort in Origin to real gain due to f**kwit selectors picking improper combos or players like King ala game 1 lol at 16m.
Shillington was woeful last year. He was soft at the Roosters too. Shillo the Pillow...

I wouldn't take trials too seriously, but feel free to go $500 on the Sharkies to win the premiership based on the fact they beat Manly in the trials.
True, but what keeps going over in my mind is that if our best Prop is a perfect lock is inconcevable to just go another Backrower like T.Simms. I would still have a prop or 2 in the side, maybe.
I really thought thats what we should have done game 3 last year. It was always going to be a tough ask Suncorp, lockeyers last. Try a tactical experiment and play or front rowforwards that are generally backrower.
I guess thats one of those genious or lunatic ideas.
Like Gal said though, he plays for Cronulla this is his only chance at a GF. Maybe not the best thing to say, but at least he was being honest.
\A few years ago I actually wanted Aubusson to land a spot for NSW in the backrow. A really good player when he's in form IMO. He was a good defender and wasn't afraid to dig in, but he was also an attacking weapon on an edge. I liked the balance he had in his game when playing in the backrow and thought he could add something for NSW.
It's a bit disappointing if the Roosters are now playing him at centre. I know he's pretty good there, but once he went to the backrow in '10 after playing a lot of centre in 09, he turned into a far better player IMO.
Are you suggesting my opinion on Maubs being a more apt right centre to match against Inglis than Lawrence is purely based on the Foundation Cup? That's some assumption, my opinion well out dates said game.
Just some food for thought, you can keep putting words in my mouth but that's all I said.
Not having a dig at you RWD or anyone, but I really think it goes against us if we pick a side purely base on who is in the Oppo's and how we can counter act.
We look at atleast 30 players, then work out a game plan and combos. Hard to do in 2 weeks, but what is sticky doing at the moment. He should be reviewing videos, at trial matches and working out a team with a good play of attack.
Likely chance fat Bunny will be injured again anyway, thats why you can't pick a squad from what the oppo's are doing.
Either way still comes back to our play makers, if thet dish shite out to our backs, we'll get splatter all over Melbourne in the first match.
There is no doubt you are a passionate league man but please proof read your posts from now on.
