Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 3109843, member: 8814"] Just re-watched the titans trial.... Lol I have to laugh re-reading some of the comments on here after watching it with less emotional investment/bias myself. A few things stood out for me... Did anyone factor in that this is a trial, with unlimited interchanges? Seibold seemed to make no changes in the first half at all, which would be fantastic in an nrl game but led to fatigue in this game with the titans subbing their forwards every 10 mins it looked like (weaker defence by broncos and more energy in attack by the titans increased near half time). The titans had incredibly line speed in the last 25 mins of the game and wanted it more. Does anyone seriously believe that lisoni and Wallace would be sprinting up in the 70tj minute of an nrl game with proper interchanges? Dearden is looking amazing. He steadied the game the last 20 mins for us after that shocking period. Amazing for a 19 year old. Kennedy and riki had some poor defensive reads but their runs were very good I thought, still both good options for 10 minute bench cameos but I actually think hopoate is a better option if longer minutes are needed as he has more defensive energy. Boyd is shit.... There's no sugar coating it. He looks worse in the re-watch. Arthurs looks like a big step up from him. Macca is shit too but he's a very solid 2nd hooker. He may not be an attacking whiz, far from it, but for 20 min stints in the middle of a game while Turpin improves his consistency and becomes an 80 min hooker or paix develops, he is suitable for sure. I think confidence is a big issue with both of the above at the moment. Flegler may lose us a game, maybe 2, during the season but he is awesome to have on the team. A hot head like that makes the opposition look over their shoulder a little when they hit our halves. Isaakos problem is something he has had even in his first year... He can't break a tackle to save his life. And he is low on confidence as well I believe. Bird is in for a very big year. I reckon he will be a top 5 fullback by the end of the year if he stays injury free. His game awareness is remarkable considering his time out of the game and his lack of experience at fb. Fifita needs to sign his contract and stop listening to his all stars team mates. If he keeps on only turning up for the special plays his value should and could drop down after a few rounds. Carrigan will have a break out year. How he didn't make the origin squad this preseason astounded me at the time, but now even more so. We will miss ofa, I think ppl will realise how important his rotation off the bench is these first 2 rounds. And... Is gamble the tallest half in the nrl? Haha [/QUOTE]
