im going to be abit of a negative nancy but after watching yesterdays trial i thought they were atrocious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no Nrl Team would pick up any of those players other then a handful!
1. Jye Gray- probably our best player you always know what your going to get from him, Bennet has to find a spot for him, i would play him as our super sub like Melb was doing with Sua Faalogo.
6. Ashton Ward- not much of him but another off season will be better for it, one of our best also. Took us by surprise, could well come into contention as our starting half in the next year or 2. Reminds me of a young Luke Keary!
7. Matt Humphries- only 18 years old was playing sg for the last 2 weeks. Has a great future once again might be our long term half. Defended well, kicked well, other then 1 kick but top bright young half.
8. Keppie- played well was impressed.
13. Hubner- tried hard in a forward pack that was clearly dominated, but was the only one trying to do something, does not shy away from the hard work.
Disappointed List.
2. Talanoa Peniatani-had no idea in defence as a winger, a centre being converted to winger, will need a year in reserve grade to be able to understand defence as a winger.
3. Tass- terrible, didnt even know if he was playing or not. Will need to improve or will be playing reserve grade.
7. Dodd- ABSOLUTE SHITHOUSE !!!!!!!!!!, if they are pinning him as our half that was a terrible first grade performance, even in a team with a forward pack that was dominated all he had to do was kick but couldnt even put bombs up that were competeable, ILIAS 2.0!!!!!!! i would turn him into a hooker or ship him back to UK
9. Mamazolous- got hooked, absolutly a joke, release him or confine him to reserve grade. Better go hard after that Brandon Smith
10. Moale- got through abit of work, but ever notice has almost No PCM, no impact in his runs or defence. Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane.
11. Flethcher- has the frame to really fill out and look like a footballer but still, a kid, defended well but will need a season in reserve grade playing against men, another pre-season build his body up.
12. Max Mcarthy- didnt notice him do 1 thing.
14. Nazerath Taua- does not look like a footballer at all, Gumpy, shit hands, how do our recruitment team even have a job!!! hope Bennet has cleared the out.
