Momo should take the goalkicking tonight. He is more likely to be starting in round 1 than AK

Don't they though? Looking so good. Getting me very excited for what will come this season.

Makes one think that possibly SST will be first choice goal kicker when the season starts proper- Tedesco and Walker as other options?

[fletch]

Excellent goal line defense.

[fletch]

Time to put Radley, Walker, Manu, Toups, Collins in cotton wool for round 1 no need to risk suspension or injury in these conditions.

[ConGa]

Momo to start & first choice kicker, AK to bench as utility

[Johnny Brass]

Radley has been a class above on the paddock, nice one on one defence from momo and will be an asset out wide in the line.
Sutton practising his 6 agains for the season proper.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Good half of footy for just a trial game esp in the conditions. Amazing defensive resolve from our guys in only a trial.

Great to see Lindsay and Joey make successful returns from injury. Liking Walkers slightly longer kicking game and taking on the line himself. Meat pies to two newbies to the club.

[roosterchook]

Great defence but huge problems with possession. Giving away too many penalties. We will continue as last year to be thrashed if we can’t fix our possession problem no matter who plays.

[Rooster36]

Real happy with that half great attitude/defence shit refereeing and in front. Not sure why momo isnt kicking but

yea good signs but… the robbo way is to scrape by half a season and then kick … TIT

Spent very little time up Wests end, as usual spend most of t he game tackling at our end of the field.
Won't be good enough in the comp proper.

Bit hard to judge a trial with some key personal out and Tigers somewhat dominating possession and field position which inflated some of these stats - but some areas they can work on leading up to round 1-

Missed Tackles/Penalties /Errors/offloads and stopping offloads - no stats for set completions which is always an issue-(lowest set completions usually) only % of possession - Out Kicked the Tigers at least
