Game Day Thread - Pre Season Challenge 2025 v Wests Tigers @ Leichhardt Oval - Friday 21st Feb - 8pm

[Gherkin]

This forum never changes. Everyone too over excited about a trial last week and then the opposite this week.
We looked average but our round 1 team will look very different to the one that ran out tonight, hopefully the injuries keeping Mitch, junior etc are healing well.
Liked what I saw from Williams, a few others out there just going through the motions trying not to get injured.
To top it all off we had to deal with the worst ref/video ref combo in the game

Charlie Guymer is seriously overrated by many here. TCT in particular need to stop deep throating him.

And why the f**k would we play him at centre ?

 

[Eelogical]

Well, it looks like tonight's forum trial posts need more work that what I just witnessed from our lads on TV. Very average.

I don't give a shit mate but just don't call me a merkin. In my culture it's the worst insult

This place might not be for you mate.

Just don't beat your mrs tonight boys. We lost a trial

 

[84 Baby]

Poor Charlie.

What it did confirm is that playing without an NRL6 and 7, is almost impossible .

Lussick is of better days, Smith will be targeted lose to the line, Tago, and a few others did not do their cause much good tonight, those criticising Sean Russell need to realise what real back ups offer.

Only certainties from that line up, Iongi, Lomax, Penisini, Russel’s, Williams , Hopgood and Hands, pretty much as expected. Few positions to fill and some obvious .

Whinging about being called a merkin but making jokes about wife beating.

You really are a dumb merkin.

We finished with 43% possession and 60% completion

I picked him as the player for me to follow this year for no particular reason. Maybe I should have picked my nose instead.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

1 week and they've turned on Ryles. I see he played Hands at half, must be an idiot too then.

We will lose every time with those stats Joker

 

[JokerEel]

Honestly it's better to see this tonight than in 2 weeks time lots of video work out of tonights game .

I thought Greig was disappointing. I can’t see him making our 17 unless we are decimated with injuries.

100% Ryles will make sure the players know this

Yep..has zero in attack and gets smashed big time

 

[senior]

We have so much deadweight

 

[mrDull]

We suck :`(

Mate I was told to "get f**ked merkin" for having an opinion on the game.... The bloke doesn't know me. If you wanna argue about footy I'll argue but like previously stated to call someone a merkin in terms of a koori lad is highly offensive

 

[Avenger]

Hopgood also looked a bit rusty.
