Warriors v sharks
Disappointing warriors out fit close to full strength facing a sharks outfit minus many top liners .
6 all halftime could be a long season for JFH and the warriors

It’s a trial game in the first weekend of February…

I remember Penrith looking like runaway February premiers in the 2005 season.

Broke both of Brett Finch's hands in a trial too.

Most disappointing season of the NRL era IMO.

Aside from 2010 being fun it was a pretty bleak 8 years after it too.

You get some sense about player form. I watched Petro on 'debut' in a trial against Newcsstle years ago and he was an absolute gun.

Likewise Metcalf for the Warriors has them looking good in attack. His fitness will be key to their chances of making the 8 this year.

Metcalfe injury ruined the Warriors in 2024 - if Metcalfe stays fit and performing well - they will surprise a few teams this year

Just a trial. Don't care much a out it but Parra look fit. Much fitter then under the Bald fraud.

Can anyone tell me about Ryley Smith. Penrith kid right? I like the look of him.

Joash who dogs let go looks promising and Iongi threw a beautiful pass which I didn't know he had in his game.
Be great to watch their progress

Super overhyped hooker that wasn't good enough to play hooker in our junior system so got shuffled around into the pack and halves.
The kid should have stuck to cricket

It is a shame Arthur was let go.

Smith is in that zone where he doesn't really have a position. Got to big for hooker but not tall enough to play in the pack, maybe can become a decent enough 14

Didn't look that big to me. I thought it was Mahoney. Similar build and slightly taller. He broke Gtuhersons records and is fittest at club. Has some mongrel about him to.
Joash Papali'i looks promising. Hope he shines. Gould let him go.
