Roosters vs Manly Trial Match to be live streamed on NRL.com website next weekend

Ikuvalu the only one on that field looking a step above at the moment, shame about that dropped bomb just before half time.

Crichton disappointing. A seasoned first grader with SOO experience he should be standing out more.

Collins, Butcher & Farmer Silly with plenty to prove in this second half.

Liked the look of Sam Verrillis when he came on, very slick service out of dummy half. Would like to see if he's got some more strings to his bows in attack. Seems to defend pretty strongly too.

on Angus, He needs others to make him shine, I don’t think he has qualities to win games on his own, a big money toiler, Hopefully his defence will make him a standout.

No it wasn't. It was a woman calling the game.

It sounded like Peter Gleeson from Sky News

Commentary conundrum much more interesting than match.

I am willing to consider Shazza - or even Dazza - from Houso's if it wasn't Dave Hughes.

How could you tell?

Maybe I’m just hoping women don’t talk like that.

I don't rate Hutchinson overly highly but when he came on he showed with his range of passing just how far Lam & Lamb have to go in their development as halves.

Cronk's replacement either directly or indirectly (with Keary moving to 7) will be an interesting sub plot this season. I imagine we will get a glimpse into the future around Origin time.

Mate he was a standout in the Bears leadup game too...and their first trial at Wenty Park.

The Bears looked sharper and executed and defended better than our first grade squad...Congrats JT with all the changes.

Robinson must go. He's out of ideas.

Robbo fell asleep 20 mins in. Only us diehards could watch that poor excuse of a footy game.

How good... having a Butcher and Lamb in the one side???
