TLT - 1st trial of 2024

[Frenzy.]

Better decision from Healey,

 

[Frenzy.]

Jesse moved slow there. Couchman tackle was poor. He's probably a bit winded. He's been going well for a kid.

 

[Frenzy.]

Well, what do you say to that?

 

[R-15-3]

Very worried about our half’s depth

 

[Weaponhead]

First choice pack stood up. Some of the reggies players struggled a bit which is to be expected.

 

[SharkShocked]

Standard trial so far.

Would like to see more from Iro to see whether or not Talakai can be shifted to start the season.

Haven’t seen much

They started OK when the NRL forwards were on. Started going backwards when the fringies came on.

Both need a million passing repetitions.

 

[shadowboxer]

Tuned in at 20 minute mark.
Probally missed the positive.
Stonestreet performance said it all - bit of good and bad.
Just get through the game.

Same for Stonestreet. That side has been starved of the ball.

I also think Disco look tentative. He's ok in straight lines but hasn't really used his step yet. That's what ACLs do to you though. He was also missing for the last try. I don't think he was in the previous tackle either. Just 20 metres off the play

 

[Stake Removed]

Good start, then got sloppy.
Not much ball for Iro and Stonestreet

Good to see Dykes getting involved he does not seemed to be concerned with knee.
Kaufisi played
Berrell looks good, I think he can offer something different off bench in first grade.
2nd half I hope Dykes plays 5/8 for rat of the game.
Overall we need better ball handling, and middle defence

You missed TH and OK. Both were the best players on the field for the start. Berrell was good too.

I don't have many concerns to be honest. Most of the guys getting a run won't be in the Round 1 team.

Didn’t see it. No direction in attack or defence and terrible kicks

Anyone expecting him to be competing for the 17 at the start of this year outside of suspension or injury was kidding themselves.

Will take him a while to get back into it from the injury and missed football.

I see that differently. He's not overly mobile laterally. He just needs to get through the game and build confidence. He made one try saver and was defensively involved in the other 3 tries. Too exposed from the front line. Like a lot of fullbacks has been on a hiding to nothing with what's been let through to him. His legs tackles a metre out aren't likely to stop many.

 

[R-15-3]

Agree Dykes looks like someone coming back from an ACL. He just wants to get through the game with f**k up or get injured

That's been a big club.

 

[R-15-3]

Can fox bring out options for alternate commentary. Even if it’s rookies learning their trade. Its got to be better than Brandy

 

[Frenzy.]

There's still 7 blokes on the bench who I don't think have had a run yet BTW. Only 1 NRL player in that lot.

 

[R-15-3]

Thought Kafusi and Hazelton where better than the twins

 

[SharkShocked]

That's been a big club.

Who do you drop to put him ahead of?

Honestly, I can’t fit him in anywhere yet. Don’t even know if we have the luxury to move Talakai yet.
