2023 Trial Games

Mediocre utilities is a weird hill to die on. Maybe he wants to get sacked?

 

[Burwood]

I took that interview to be talking about the trial match, not the season regular. It sounds like those 3 are vying for the utility role and will be given plenty of minutes tomorrow to make their case.

AOB: Second trial preview and opportunities for Round 1 selection

nib Newcastle Knights NRL Head Coach Adam O'Brien spoke to the media ahead of the side's second trial against the Parramatta Eels on Friday night at Industry Group Stadium, Gosford.

AOB says he want to find a spot for Mann, Crossland and Gamble all in the 17, so use of the bench will be a train wreck.

I need to find a spot for myself that doesn't involve being at McDonald Jones stadium or in front of the TV when the Knights play.

Have we been training Heatherington wide or middle? We basically need him to somehow be a gun second rower.

Fitzy isn't the worst back rower running around either, but needs a huge run of it to be part of the answer.

 

[Loose Cannon]

I need to find a spot for myself that doesn't involve being at McDonald Jones stadium or in front of the TV when the Knights play.

Don’t be selfish when you find that spot. It needs to be public knowledge, regardless of how crowded it may get.

 

[Knight Tales]

I am happy we are playing Parra tonight simply cos of their forward pack. Would be a huge step forward if we can hold them in the middle third or even their own half on occasion. A huge ask but if we cannot then the same results will follow.

 

[Tom155]

Kick off next

Do we get a better showing this week or more of the same?

 

[Frederick]

Elliott a late withdrawal with a "precautionary injury".

Struggling to find anything about it online, but I guy I work with said earlier he read that Elliott rolled his ankle at training today.

 

[Tom155]

Good challenge

Terrible miss from the ref

 

[Tom155]

That looked smooth Dom in for the 1st try

 

[Yosh]

We looked slick there. Slicker than we've ever looked last season. Nice.

 

[Tom155]

Very poor defensively

A Fitz/Best/Marzhew edge is going to be targeted big time by opposing teams trying to exploit them in D

 

[Alex28]

No need to look at Gutho obstructing defenders getting to Paulo?

 

[Tom155]

Miller did exceptionally well there

 

[Tom155]

Our luck with deflections is still ridiculously bad

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Our defence is still dogshit bad

 

[Apey]

At least we've taken out Shaun Lane so he can't score a double against us.

 

[Tom155]

Carving us up down Best/Marzhew side

Another try

 

[Alex28]

God that defence is terrible.

 

[slotmachine]

At least we've taken out Shaun Lane so he can't score a double against us.

He's usually prime SBW against us.

We're not looking hopeless I guess.

That set we just had in great field position was terrible though.

Mann at first receiver so much makes me sad
