Oky Doky back to the nutral corners boys.
Fare Dink. The amount of speculation going on here is just stupid.
I was there so was Twizzle, and a few others. Now to counter some of the speculation
1) Richard Fa'aosa was fine for 60 minutes of the game, He made a mistake and the talk within the team is he droped his head and then tried to "make up" for the mistake. that would have caused the last 2 errors.
The only Fitness issue I saw for the entire game was Chad Robinson seems to be struggling at the end of his stints, but that only lasted for about 1 set before he was hooked.
Cannings and Moi Moi were on together, I don't think they were both on for the last 20 minutes when the Titans Ran Riot. Most assuredly it wasn't their misses that let us down.
We were own on worst enemy with errors but It is early and I expect handling errors for the next Trial and 5 weeks into the Season.
Brett Finch was fine, the article that said he had a quite game at true, but it was also a solid game. His work in switching the play for the first try was Inspired and his Defence was strong when picked.
I Hindy and Chad Robbo spent most of their time 4 in from the line, Next to them were Tim Smith and Brett Finch Respectivly 3 in sometimes moving to 2nd man in.
Tim was runing to the line alot, and when he stoped doing it he was moved out to 2nd Reciever. While Twizzle maintained the didn't switch alot, I think they did depending on the point of attack.
As Twizzle said though and I agree, Ben Smith Please stop the Shimmy Jink it fools no one and slows you down.
All in all it was a loss but it is a trial and with an extended Bench you have to experiment. In speaking with the club, Mateo will take the "Widders" Spot on his performance, he will be playing as a wide running back rower.
On the performance tonight 1 - 3 5 - 15 (if you include Mateo) look set, the question is who will be the other two. I think Cannings will be one of them and the next one is up in the air, Could be JT or Cordoba, Neither took my Eye to much. Maybe Lowrie but I am not the coach and he wants to look at them one more time in Gosford so get out and see for yourselves people.
A Very tired, but very happy, Mits
