Congrats to the Indigenous side on taking home the chocolates for the second year in a row. The first quarter of the game was fantastic, but the rest were to be expected given the weather conditions, the time of year and the humidity. That's not to say it still wasn't a good watch though, I really enjoyed it.
Man, the Maori had enough ball to win six games six times over but just couldn't convert. Amazing defence from the Indigenous side.
Sighhhhh...... I knew hopping on other forums would just be constant criticism of Trell. People need to relax, it's his first game in five months, it's a trial game. Just chill and let's see how he is in the first few Rounds before we judge him. Yea, he didn't do much and was very quiet, but was that a case of being unfit or was it a case of him just cruising and not absolutely busting a gut in a game he didn't have to? He did the same last year. I'm not concerned, he'll be right. He looks the fittest we've seen him, and I think we'll see something different when the Season proper starts.
He had a few really nice touches though, especially for Addo-Carr's try and his defence was great. It was a concern to see him pull up injured at one stage but he shook it off and finished the game thank god.
Shaq was absolutely outstanding!!! This is probably a career-best game for him. He had so many runs and just constantly carted it forward strongly. Looked like he could keep going too! If he continues to play like that, he'll be extremely hard to keep out of the 17.
