Trial: Knights v Storm at Charlestown

[roopy]

One thing I have to say is the boys look very fit.
We know Smith tended to undertrain a bit in the off season and the guys often looked a bit chubby and short of a run at this time of the year, but last night they all looked ready to run a marathon - even well known chubbies like Aku, Cooper and Rogers were all as lean as i've seen them (Rogers was on the sideline).
I even saw Jake Finn on the sidelines, and he looks as skinny as a male model.

Time will tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing to have them peaking so early, but they couldn't look fitter right now.

:lol: @ Storm fans leaping to their side's defense. Did a single person in this thread remark on it being a good win against a strong opposition?

Some of the things that happened in the first quarter - i left after that.

Ervan was bludging in the middle of the field while the boys were throwing the ball around on the left, and Scotty saw the Storm defence had all slided over, so a long pass to Ervan and he strolled over untouched to put it down near the posts for the easiest try of his life - all down to the defence being completely inept.

A pass went to ground behind Aku, and he had to go back to pick the ball up - when he turned around he was standing flat footed and surrounded by 3 defenders - he dummied to step inside, then scooted down the sideline from a standing start to leave all the defence standing like dummies while he ran 50 to score under the posts. No one even bothered to chase.

All in all - it was firstgraders against 3rd graders.

Oh my god!!! The Storm are no hope this season!!! We flogged them!!! We are so awesome and they are so terrible!!! Knights premiers already!!!!



Can a mod move this to post #4 so that the Storm fans at least have something that makes their posts look legit.

Channel 10 news talked about Kev scoring 3 (didn't he score 4 in the last game last year? - he's on fire) - but they showed Aku scoring - suppose Kev looks like Aku's mini me.

Dunno if this has been posted already, but I see NBN uploaded some highlights of last weeks trial:
