Message: [QUOTE="kingpest, post: 2559191, member: 8271"] I know it's only a trial and nothing to gauge a season from, but gee our defence was shithouse. We were horrible up the middle at all stages of the game. They just steam rolled us in attack and absolutely dominated the ruck. Robert lui and taumololo were huge for the cows. Halves If I were to pick someone for round 1 at 6 judging from that performance alone, I would pick kahu (barring injury). Kahu looked more dangerous with ball in hand and has definitely been working on his speed, he looked fast IMO. Strasser was a bit quiet but didn't play bad. Hope he steps up a bit more next trial. Don't understand the hype behind kodi from this match, was an absolute ball hog trying to side step the entire cowboys side every touch of the ball and didn't showcase any sign of a passing game IMO. One thing that stood out was our poor 5th tackle execution, no one could kick out there. There were 3 40/20's from redcliffe in 1 half of footy during the colts match. Just something I thought I'd point out Hookers I thought Granville played pretty well in both attack and defense during his stints, noticeabley in the second half for mine. Once we were trailing he started trying a little more and he starting to control our attack with great service and good scoots. Cullen was OK in attack but terrible in defence. Fell off most tackles and stood out amongst a shocking display of defence from most of the side. Won't crack first grade this year. Forwards Martin Kennedy was definitely a stand out. Bent the line with every hit up and was solid in defence. Very aggressive. Hala did **** all, big teddy bear. I rate molo over hala to be honest. Definitely tried harder and IMO had a great game. Lowrie played pretty well and is definitely pushing for a spot in the 17. Ofahengaue was another stand out, very solid. Will debut at during origin IMO. That big French muppet was garbage, expected more from someone so huge. Was cringing at broncos supporters getting him to sign their shit. Backs Vidot looked dangerous with most touches, got in and helped the forwards out a lot and has a great mix of size and speed. IMO will be in our starting side come round 1. Mills was also great, exceeded my expectations for sure. Copley was another standout in our back line, looked comfortable at centre. Good to see him get through injury free. Alick, Drew, etc didn't get enough game time for me to comment on. Finally, my beloved jharal. Seeing this bloke take the field was inspirational and even better that he made it through without injury. Will need to see more of him before I comment on him resurrecting his NRL career. I was hoping to see him charging onto balls and see him taking on his opposite at the line but it just didn't happen. We didn't seem to execute any back line movements out his side bar one where he was cut out and vidot scored in the corner. Really wanted to see him charging onto the ball more and utilising his new frame. Hope he gets another run. That's my take on the trial. IMO I was disappointed with the performance as a whole, especially with our defence up the middle but in reality it was our second tier side. Only a handful of players would be in our strongest 17 so I'm not worried. Hats off to the BHQ boys involved in the sign, it really looked great and it shitted me off that people sat in front of it during the game lol Hope JYY got a glimpse of it because it was a nice gesture. I tried to attack him at full time but he was very quick to get up that tunnel, got a photo with hoffy so that kinda made up for it. [/QUOTE]
