Our backup half in NSW cup couldn’t manage a LBA or TA either in that shitty grade. At least Trindall scored a try in first grade.
Jake Arthur also scored a try against Souths, but in any case I’m not the one pumping up Arthur’s performance after half a game in first grade. Maybe crowing about Cronulla’s backup half after 40 minutes isn’t so clever after all? One game isn’t a reliable sample, half a game even less so.

One game? How about 39? Trindall has a 56% winning record in first grade. That’s pretty f**king good for a backup half.

How close do you all think the Dolphins will go against the brave chooks.

I think Clint Eastwood will have them up ready to go.

I think they will push them for 55-60 mins and chooks run away in last 20 mins.
They’ll fold quite quickly if they play undisciplined footy. It’s going to take a while for them to realise they are now playing NRL.

Thirteen of those wins are off the bench though. However he does have 50% wins as a starter, which is good, but you need to look at all the facts, not just the ones on the surface. When a backup starts it means a regular starter is unavailable. Which unavailable starter is a very important question because not all starting halves are equal. Jack Cogger should win more games when replacing Luai than when he fills in for Cleary, for example.

Jake has only won 4 from 11 when he starts (36%). And overall he's 47%. One might say Trindall's the perfect back up half.
