[Gary Gutful]

I think you’re a bit more loooooser than me thanks champ

Takes one to know one.

Ooh burn!

I know this is really random but every time you write something I imagine you as being a walking/talking happy go lucky bellend. Is this true ?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Shits fired!

 

[strider]

who was the big unit in #23 playing right centre late in the game?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

My guess is Niukore.

 

[strider]

yeah i was wondering if it was him

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I thought Moeroa finished the game at left centre, with Aukafolau at left wing. But I just had another look and Auva'a was still on the field, he just spent a lot of time in the middle looking for work.

That's good to see from a player who is currently contracted, but off contract at the end of the year and may or may not currently be in negotiation for a 2019 contract and/or possibly longer.

Did Hayne seem to put any effort into a quicker play the ball and backing up after it? I know he has rightly copped some criticism for being poor/lazy in this regard in the past. I also read BA talking about Hayne needing to "make improvements in his effort areas" so did anyone notice a difference.

#23 was Niukore at right edge backrow. Nathan Davis (right) and Dane Aukfolau (left) were the relief centres in the numberless jerseys. I thought Niukore was probably the reserve that boosted his stock the most in those dying moments. That also followed a really good effort for Wenty where he was all over the park making splashy defensive plays and running into fools at a million miles an hour.

*Edit* Just on Aukafolau and Davis, one little quirk out of last night was that they lined up as left (Davis) and right (Aukafolau) for Wenty but reversed their alignments for the NRL trial. Or at least I am pretty sure they did

They were definitely lining up as you say in the nrl trial

Davis scored a super dodgy try on the left for Wenty from a kick. I am just trying to recall whether he was there natively or if it was a stacked edge for the kick.

 

[strider]

If niukore was backrow as you say, then i dunno who was right centre late in the game ... cos niukore and davis were out there holding hands on their own towards the end

Probably Kirisome however because he is *allegedly off-contract he spent heaps of time in the middle looking for work late in the game.

Only one of those is true.

Bellend it is

 

[Basil Brush]

Very good performance considering it was our 1st trial.

Our depth looks amazing this year, especially in the forwards. Brad has a few headaches.

If Semi was still here, we would be an almost certain top 4 team and premiership contender.

Obviously the Storm, Roosters and Cows are the 3 big threats to us.

I was very impressed with Terepo. Halves also looked shar as did King.
Hayne looks fit amd Bevan has more size. Kaysa looked gassed after 15 mins.

I will give a more in depth run down once watch the game.

Niukore was definitely right centre. Davis on the wing, Edwards right edge forward and Takairangi right side half.
