Trindall is player of this side, he is causing dogs plenty of problems

14-12 to us

 

[roboshark]

Dogs have top squad on?

 

[Quigs]

We are going alright. The thing I like is our blokes appear enthusiastic and look like they want to give this trial a big shake. The Dogs on the other hand I think it looks like it is going to be a long hard season for them if this is most of their top squad.

Half time 14-12 to the good guys

Positives from our team

Kennedy - He is looking good ball in hand, hasnt had to do much defence
Ferris - He has stepped up looks good
Tracey - He could be the backup hooker
Trindall - He needs start next week in trial with Johnson, dangerous every time with ball
Rudolf - plenty of go forward
Talaki - He is worthy to be in 30 man squad he has covered centre and backrow
Magoulias - Quality player

Negatives

Ronaldo - Injured
Hookers King/Paterson - Not confident with these guys, Tracey or Chad will need to be backup
Hunt - dumb mistakes
Katoa - He scares me with the ball, passes when not needed

Side note with trindall its a trial 2 minutes from half time we get scrum calling players to pack quick, thats smart

Dogs have top squad on?

I would say three quarters of them, and basically there spine is out there

 

[Ken Ebb]

So after that half....

our spine looked sharp particularly Kennedy and Trindall. King was solid too.
Rudolph is a first grader. The 12 Talakai looked quite good.
Katoa went well
Sorensen looked decent too to be honest.
I really like the look of Kennedy. I hope he gets another shot this year.

Trindall, Tracey and Kennedy have looked good. Block plays with variation. Good, crisp passing. Trindall has a nice show and go.

Kennedy made a couple of try saving tackles.

Some ruck defence efforts have been very ordinary.

Overall, a solid effort against dogs top squad.

 

[Stake Removed]

our set completion 5/19 so on par with 2019

Another plus no hamstring issues as yet

 

[roboshark]

Is Ronald ok

 

[Ken Ebb]

The Dogs are putrid at best btw.
Got nothing at all

On Sorensen i agree but he always looks like this, i am one yes to give him another go, but when he steps on regular basis he struggles, he needs to play 5 yards wider, he has strength, speed and offload

no news

Yeah.....he gives a bench mark of how the others are travelling though.

Trindall has forced a couple of drop outs which is a good sign
