Message: [QUOTE="heartly87, post: 3357486, member: 8651"] Yeah and his behavior in the box was giving that energy also. Coach Payten looks like one of those guys that is never happy. His side gave us a touch up in wet weather footy and he still looked like he wanted to punch a couple of them. It's a big contrast between how the Cows and their coach looked and say how the Roosters and Trent looked through these trials. The Roosters have not won a match and I doubt Trent would be concerned at all. He would have notes on every player in his side this year and will be thinking of ways to get the most out of them. He would not be expecting or wanting to see the player's peaking in a trial. Trials are very strange to play in, even in lower grades. I recall when I played in FOGS back in the day and then in my senior years that across your team, players approached and expected completely different things out of themselves. So you end up getting a mish-mash of tempos and productivity. Hetherington is a perfect example of a guy who put in his best, to show the coach he has what it takes. Staggs to me was just going about 70% as his spot is secure and he knows everyone knows what he can do. That is why I wouldn't take that much from a trial. The team has different goals and are not all focusing on getting the two season points, their in selfish mode either just doing enough to preserve their bodies or going hard to get a squad or run on spot. Your right about Reynolds also, the Cows looked that much better partly because they had a half back in Townsend running the game and secondly because TD was out to prove something against his ex team and put in a solid performance. We had two 5/8's playing and it showed. [/QUOTE]
