Trindall and Hynes. Work on a kicking game where yous can put up one of those towering, hard to catch, Bombs , or deceptive but precise Banana kick to a centre or winger, sneaky little grubber catching opposition off guard for try or six again , 40 ,20 to change momentum of the game , Perfectly placed kicks to the corner keep opposition pinned back maybe even 6 again, or cut out pass for a try!.... and perfecting understanding with rest of team what is going on. Is that asking too much ?

I so agree with this.
3 x indigy in the spine. That's my team.

As much as I have dropped veiled hints about this for months you're the first to comment, even though I know you've been aware

Feefs, Graham, Hynes, Trindall, Ramien, Kennedy and maybe even another could make us the side with the highest number of fellas in the comp. And I like it too.

 

[Eion]

It’s a shame that feefs and graham aren’t anywhere near their best. If they all peaked together it’d be a dream combo.

I want Trindall to come out of the shell. Take it on, seems a quiet kid.

He needs to up his fitness level. He got burned by backrowers in the D line more than once or twice. He's got all the skills of a good HB.. I dunno if he'll kick on from here but he was showing some good signs towards the end of last season.

 

[Special K]

Kennedy - Keep improving confidence and communication in defence
Katoa - communication in defence
Raimen - Setting his outside man up
Ronnie - Develop his overall game and keep improving
Ikavalu - communication in defence
Hynes - Leadership, defence and kicking game
Trindall - Staying calm and becoming a regular first grader
Finuncane - Technique. No more head knocks if you want to last another 4 years
Brailey - Confidence
Toby - Defence and ruck speed
Graham - Technique. No more head knocks if you want to last another 12 months - 2 years
Nikora - Fitness. No more sloppy hands and missed tackles
McInnes - Keep growing as a 13
BHU - Fitness. 2021 BHU was not the same as 2020 BHU. We need 2020 BHU
Williams - Keep improving. 2021 was not the same as 2020 Williams. We need 2021 Williams
Wilton - Develop into a starter
Hunt - Fitness and get back into the mix
Fifita - Be a strong off field leader and mentor
Pele - Fitness and become a regular first grader
Tracey - Ideally nail down one spot. What that is I am not sure but I do feel like it is not centre
Moylan - Fitness and play 20 plus games. Ideally in the halves with Hynes
Taumoepeau - Be ready
Hiroti - Get rid of the cement shoes
Tolman - Be a strong off field leader and mentor.
Talakai - Fitness and defence

I just did most of our first grade squad cbf for the train and trials as I don't know much about a few of them but as you can see despite all the happy vibes there is a lot of work to be done. In saying that this is the most confident I have been in years going into a season. McInnes, Finucane, Hynes character in with Johnson, Woods, Townsend and Dugan out is a tremendous culture uplift.

 

[Chimp]

I couldn’t give a rats about individuals, I just want us to go out and defend as a unit, a well organised, uncompromising defensive unit - forward packs used to hate playing us, because we were tough as teak, sometimes shit, sometimes good, but always tough… I want that back, with more sometimes good than sometimes shit!
If we get the steel in defence, we have the players to work their magic in attack - I’d like an offload game, and plenty of options/runners rather than simple ‘out the back’ - but priority has to be defence, for everyone!
Nail the defence, we put ourselves in with a chance against anyone. Apart from Manly of course.

REDEMPTION!!!!!

As long as the ref doesn’t tell Captain McInnes that “You wouldn’t want to win a Grand Final with a penalty goal.”

Done it before and we’d do it again.
