Game Day Thread - Pre Season Challenge - Trial 1 v Newcastle @ McDonald Jones Stadium - Friday 14th February - 6pm

He is same size when side by side slower? Did you get the stop watch out?

He is good in defence as well.

Pryk is the one I would say is smaller and slower not sure about his future as a first grader

Pryke won’t make it, imo. Very similar to Parker, but a couple of years younger. Guymer is much better than both of them.

Nothing ever is the head coaches job ffs!!

Whatever the assistant coaches do surely isn’t his job, or what are we paying them for?

 

[Gronk]

Interestingly, our comeback started when he was replaced with Lussick

We did look much better with Joey on. No don’t pile on me haters, he’s just a better hooker FOR NOW.

Well i wonder who has Murphs job now to put out the witch's hat's???

Lussick was on in the garbage mins against reserve graders and he looked so dangerous with his lightning scoots from dummy half.

Take your pick. Ryles has about thirty merkins in his staff. His job might be just to sign their time sheets, keep his shoes on and talk to the media.

Was it his job to ‘look dangerous’? Sometimes the best thing is to take the tackle and keep the ruck defence honest.

No one keeps the defence more honest than you merkin.

Glug glug glug!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That’s highly offensive

 

[the phantom menace]

Great post, except I will be very surprised if Volkman plays any hooker.

*pays

Some over the top reactions to last night’s game. Didn’t we belt Penrith 36-0 in a trial a few years back? I’d take the result with a pinch of salt.

He handled the ball twice in the AMS try. I know you guys hate him, but surely you have the balls to say he had a good stint.

FMD you carry on like I said he should be re-signed or something.

If only we could play the Knights reserve grade side every week!

They played a stronger side then us. We look lean and fit. Actually considering it was mostly our cup side we looked in sync

After two years of garbage its nice to get excited. Yes I agree but surely you can see that there is some great young talent coming thru based on the trial.

Cayless has done a great job with them

Shows the investment we made in ‘developing’ (poaching) young talent when the PLC recovered financially after Covid.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I am interested to see what the plan is with a few of the backups that played last night

Lynn Twidle Sam L Smith Lussick

They all can't fit into the CUP side.

I think Lynn and Twidle are still eligible for flegg. I reckon they start there...until injuries/form give them a chance....

 

[AnonymousLurker]

It was nice seeing the defence give us so much space

Well given then we have been giving other teams space for the past decade as I always see opposition teams able to spread it quick against us at pace , good change

Pryke has an NRL contract this year (development) and I think I read somewhere we have an option (CO) for him in 2026. Think still Flegg eligible.

Parker doesn't, maybe just train and trial. Is he older?

Yep it was a nice blind side play, against reserve graders. You've been pushing his barrow for years and it was laughable then and it's still laughable. There is a reason why he was 3rd choice last night.
