2nd Trial Game Day thread vs Raiders at Gosford. It starts in 3 hours, no one interested?

[Tiger Shark]

I’ll be watching it with my son - but I have a feeling that Fitz’s pre-season strategy is ‘Keep It Simple Stupid’ - which may be smart, but it makes for a boring game.

I can handle boring games if it means something and we win, but I think that’s why there’s not a lot of enthusiasm for this game.

I feel like that is his overall coaching philosophy

Do the simple things really really well .

Complete your sets
Defend
Kick Chase
Etc
Etc

 

[Tiger Shark]

Haha Trindall calling. Savage a pussy

That was good

 

[R-15-3]

I think Uele is done. Looks less than effective and unfit.

I thought he looks the best he has in 3 years

 

[DJDL]

I thought he looks the best he has in 3 years

I’d agree with that as well.
But he’s still way down the pecking order for mine.

Speaking of middles: where’s Herb after half time?

 

[Weaponhead]

Good to Hynes running confidently. Good backing up Puru

 

[Ozzi_78]

Taj Ford looking strong.

 

[sharknows]

Kevie Walters asked at halftime about sharks he said they have too many SOO stars out there over Raiders, what all 2 of them who have played what combined 4 games

Yep Kevie a dud commentator & a dud coach

 

[Stake Removed]

Pollard and Ford are quality

 

[Craigshark]

Looks like they were told to treat this week as more than a training run

 

[Stake Removed]

Ford is apparently a Jets player, this is type of player on a 6 man bench he is a former halves shifted to fullback.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Is Hohepa going bald or does he have a fivehead

Looks like they were told to treat this week as more than a training run

I think as well you see difference when you are missing chunk of first grade us last week.
Raiders today

 

[Ozzi_78]

Bullshit call that one. Penalty try sharks

 

[DJDL]

We want the fifty.
Clap-clap clap-clap clap

 

[Weaponhead]

Great tackle, Puru.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Good stuff Puru. Keep them to zero

 

[Ozzi_78]

Tuku rolled

 

[Stake Removed]

Damn I hate that letting late points in even if it's a trial

 

[Weaponhead]

Tuks brushed off like a fly

 

[Stake Removed]

Uele should be standing out against this opposition in 2nd half but he actually looks like he belongs there, where Talakai looks class above
