2018 Trials

Exactly. Griffin didn't make an interchange until 37mins. It was about getting miles in the legs.

If you think stuctures, set plays were going to be on show tonight. Never in a million years. It would be like a magican showing his best tricks for the kids matinee.

I was happy. No injuries. Blake looks as though he could possibly make round 1. I want Peachey back to the bench if possible.

Panthers were not running at full speed.
We haven't seen a set play or any structure in 2 years.... no one is surprised here

If Panthers were in second gear then Peachey was yet to put the keys in the ignition. Whare and Blake will be our centres come round 1 if fit.

If our team defended as hard as you do we wouldnt concede any points.

We got belted by a reserve grade side. Let that sink in for just a second. 3 of our players represented Australia. That entire side would br lucky to get a run in the NRL barring injury crisis.

If thats the effort Hook wanted. Why name a full strength team?

But its just a trial. We wanted to be shit. Peachey just did it better than the rest.

Blake was the only decent looking centre and he had barely any preseason at all.

Exactly.

Other thing is that in the reality stakes that a few are not considering,if the Panthers came into this match with a game-head on,this result would have been quite different.

I'm sure the coaching staff are taking our trials to a different tact. Before this game,I bet none of us were looking forwards to murdering a vastly inferior side.What purpose would this serve? Nothing.

Twas a trial,and nothing else.

You mean by naming our full strength side?

Smashing a shit side achieves nothing. So let them smash us? :joy:

Any dickhead willing to defend that makes me laugh..

Trial or not. A reserve grade side schooled us in every aspect of the game. Even a half hearted performance should have resulted in a 50+ point flogging.

But there were no signs of a game plan or structure. No heart in defence. No signs of any improvement at all. Thats an all time low for us under Hook.


We smash them in a trial and you guys are like.. oh well, means nothing, it’s only a trial.

We lose and all of a sudden all of our worst fears have come at once.


The only thing that matters is:
Injuries - Nil.

Beating a reserve grade team means nothing. Losing to them means alot.

No injuries were the most important thing. Not looking like an incompetent team with no structure or heart was a close second.

To be honest, I think I’ll be gone from this forum before the season even starts. I’ve only been back on for two days and I’m already sick of the rubbish being posted on here.
Yet youre happy watching Hook ruin our premiership window l

So what did we get out of it? Anything worth playing our full strength team and risking injuries? Please convince me.

Would have preferred to smash them and see some attacking structures or at least looked like they'd done any training.

They match report said he went well. What happened?
He isnt a Panther anymore. Thats what happened.

Yet when current Panthers are humiliated by reserve graders. Theres nothing to see here.

Hook groupies are going on my ignore list. Not worth reading that shit. They can circle jerk all they want. Im not reading that homoerotic shit.
