Trial v Parramatta

[GongPanther]

Its RL. Just rip in and do your job. More likely to get injured if you are being too cautious.

 

[GongPanther]

Last hit out before Rd1.

Looks like Nathan will play.

Who gets the nod to start for Kiks?

Please... No Injuries!!

I'm sure he mentioned he'll play the first 30 minutes or the full half of the match.

 

[Kev07]

In 2017 he played 15.

Didn't play most of last year as you quoted with dislocated toe. Couldn't crack the 17 last year post injury.

 

[Kilkenny]

Moses Leota not named. No mention of extent of the shoulder injury picked up in the trial so I assume it’s minor.

Good result. I thought he was still out this week. Hope he makes the most of this opportunity.

Just hope he doesn’t get suspended before the first round.

He will play plenty of FG this year.. It just may not be in the top 17

 

[Crashtest]

Hetherington is # 11

Good to see Cleary has judged him on skill rather than reputation. Hopefully means he has gotten through to him better thank Hook did about controlled aggression.

He's a trial behind most teammates so is probably getting bigger minutes for both fitness and a fair chance to prove himself.

Or maybe Ivan is hoping he kills some Eels players and makes Round 1 a bit easier.

Yeah you expect he would play big minutes. send off and sin binning aside

No DWZ?

 

[Panfa]

Dwz wont be available till rd 1 had ankle surgery in the off season

Remember clearly reading this sort of thing before the Bulldogs trial this time last year.

Correct, I think we were going to put a cricket score on them.

He's too embarrassed to release a team. Have you seen the shit they have to pick from?

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Why either side would bother giving anything away in this trial is anyone's guess given we meet in Round 1.

This is how I would do it (simplified):

Half 1: Second-string spine leads around full strength pack and backline. The first-teamers do nothing but the basics to get fitness. Focus on running and tackling.

Half 2: First-string spine leads around second-string pack and backline. The spine keep it tight and teach the youngsters where to go and what to do.

I don't know. Just seems so pointless to have a trial against your R1 opposition.

Never happens in a trial. Coaches know the score means nothing so will pull off the starters once 4 would get scored
