[dino1]

According to NRL.com we have only one trial THE CHARITY SHEILD on March 2, 2019 WHY WTF.

 

[muzby]

Why only one quotation mark in the title?

Hiding the powder are you mister

 

[BLM01]

Did they not only have 1 trial at the beginning of this year?.

 

[Coffs dragon]

Pointless as Mary usually gives the full squad a run.....then never uses them during the proper season when it all hits the fan with player burnout.

I don't think SGI need to play any trials.
There are no spots ups for grabs. The team is set. It wouldn't matter if a young kid, say Lomax, excelled in the trials because he'd never get a run over Lafai or Aitken anyway.
The team is set.

Match fitness is a bit different to being fit.....def need a total of 3 trials including charity shield, which has lost its gloss that’s for sure. Probably play it in regional area again.

Charity shield is being played in mudgee again.

Wrong

 

[SaintSnow]

It was reported on Newcastle radio this morning that there may be a trial between Knights and Dragons. No details though

 

[Dracarys]

We'll only need one. Esp. against Wayne's Wabbits!

The problem with the Lomax example is that the kid did a lot more than excel in a trial match.
He was sublime in the sudden death Broncos semi up at Suncorp and backed up and played great against Souths the following week..
Any thought or discussion about leaving Lomax out of the starting centre pairing is just bloody minded stupidity.
What more does he have to do to get the nod over Aitkin?

In our coaches eyes? He needs to do his time. He needs to be patient. He needs to wait until Mary gives him the nod.
Obviously thats all bullshit and any other coach would see that he has enormous potential and is worth taking a punt on but not Mary, he doesn't gamble, he doesn't punt on anything ever (in his mind).
Most conservative backward thinking coach in NRL.

Unless two wingers are going fantastically well, we are stronger with Lomax on the wing where he will have opportunities to move around at the right times.

I still don’t think he’d play a full season a right centre at 19 and be consistent as he would like to be. It’d be a rollercoaster. He’s still not prudent with his offloads, for one, but more importantly physically it’s a lot to ask.

I can’t think of a centre in recent times who played well for a full season at 19.
