2018 Trials

[billypilgrimnz]

Trials dont matter. .

We need the fitness. The reason we finished in the top 8 last season despite Griffin having no clue when it comes to attacking structure is that we were fitter than most teams. I'll give Griffin that much. And it's pretty much the only way Griffinball is going to work: we do enough to nullify teams in the first half before running over them in the second. That is the extent of Griffin's football philosophy - brawn over brains.

So because this trial is meaningless results-wise, and because Griffin is hardly going to change his spots now, at least they are developing their fitness. Think positive!

If anyone thinks this is being treated more than an opposed session I have a bridge you might like to buy. Players are running at 1/2 pace.

Why would they show set plays when it's a trial ? it's quite simple when you think about. They were never going to show much of anything especially when the dogs put in their possibles.

Ha, we are playing mind games by keeping the Bulldogs waiting on the field for us to come out for the second half. Weird.

Some subs made finally: Blake, CHN, JFH, McKendry that I can see

Our coach is a true mastermind.

- bomb: 694

It's time to take Cleary and Maloney off. We lose either of them, we are screwed.

Edwards taking notes from Moylan on goal line defence.

Hope he tackles harder come round 1.

Its a trial boys.

We look flat for a reason, little to no interchanges in the first half.

Against a RESERVE GRADE side.

Peachey....you'd think Griffin could coach them to pick up the ball properly....

I think Griffin gets a pass on this one.

Anyway, we will score two late tries to win to validate Griffinball.

Blah blah blah.

Our full strength NRL team is being touched up by a reserve grade side.

Lol.

Coaching... thats the one thing Hook cant do. But hey... he has convinced a bunch if idiots on here he can. And somehow Gus
