Considering the Sharks aren’t even in training at the moment I’d be guessing he’s training with his good mate Wade. Be surprised if Fitz takes him on considering his apparent no dickhead policy.
I'm on the tricky bandwagon.
I doubted WK and that ship well and truly sailed without me.
I do. I'm just very selective.You should heed what I say then.
That's about it! His game is really in the Cleary mould, some of his bombs are huuuuge.. I think in part for him it's selection and getting a feel of the style of game management expected in the NRL, but most of his 'bad' kicks imo tend to be mishit when he's under kick pressure.. maybe our pack gets better at protecting him next year and he kicks on I dunno what he needs to click but I feel like, as ya said, he's got the skillset.. it just needs to be loosened up and unlocked by playing behind a good side.Agree. He has a long kick on him, knows when to use it and has a decent rudimentary short kicking game.
He just needs a lot of time on the field in the NRL to refine is kicking game. The main thing he lacks is finesse
Trindall has the skills to succeed as a 7 at this level. He can tackle, run, kick, pass short, pass long, organise. The key for him kicking on, just like Kennedy, is more mental than physical. First thing is confidence and belief that he belongs at this level. Secondly, is the situational awareness to make the right decisions at the right times under pressure. This is what made Cronk great.That's about it! His game is really in the Cleary mould, some of his bombs are huuuuge..

I like him a lot..and the pure fact of him having years and years alongside Brailey and Kennedy who are both kicking on should be enough for him to start the year at 7 and see if the momentum flows..

Park footy is full of blokes who had the talent but not the mindset to make it. If Trindall reaches his potential, it will be a massive bonus and accelerate the progress of the team.
Exactly as it should be. Make your tackles. Kick well. Be selective. Less will be more.Fitz will send him out with a simple game plan I reckon. Probably tell him he doesn't have to do it all, especially under pressure.

The one I’m curious about is Tolman… wasn’t farewelled in that email. Could do worse than keep him for one more year on f**k all.Magoulias was mentioned as a departing player in the September CEO update along with Woods and Chambers.
