Official Trial Day Thread: Roosters v Tigers

[Rooster_Mark]

Tigers have some really promising kids on show today have been much better than our youngsters pretty much across the board.

They have highlighted what I have been saying for years. Everyone thinks their youngsters are the best, some of these outside backs are just horrific in defence.

[DP1990]

Yeah our lower grades may struggle this season.

Kind of surprised how much Robbo has played Wong today a lot of game time for someone who should be starting round 1.

Perhaps, but I haven't seen anything from him today that suggests a top 17 player for us.

Key takeaways from today
1. Hugo has to be in the 17
2. Toby and Rex are showing alot of promise in attack. Gotta work on their defence
3. DLS isn't living up to the hype
4. Let's hope our centres and wingers stay fit caz Pauga and Talau aren't solid backups

If the NSW Cup team don't come last it'll be a miracle

[QWERTY]

Oh well, at least this game has no real meaning.

[Rooster_Mark]

Losalu is looking good at least.

I’m spewing, I’m sitting in Hooters in Taipei & the game is not on.
The table tennis, world championship face slapping & phone booth boxing is on.
There is a big bloke in the phone booth boxing that the Chooks could maybe take a look at to help with out front row stocks, he’s got great lateral movement & is on the front foot all the time.

So did we win?
Has Robbo still got a job or will someone start the “Sack Robbo” thread?

I said it in another thread but I will be surprised if DLSV is still at the club by July

Nice to see a bit of Flair from this young Jackson Stewart kid on the left flank. More promise than Pauga and Talau.

[roosterchook]

God help us if we have injuries. No depth at all. None of these guys can tackle. Tigers played great. Deserved their win thoroughly.

Agreed, but I just think of Preston Cammbell when I see them - Just a tad too small.

And if you are too small, you need to be lightning fast to counteract it.

[Roosterfarian]

Junior Tupou is putrid

You’re not wrong there Simp. Probably his last game in first grade.

[BTRD]

It was a trial. But really really disappointed that not one of our up and comers did anything ' special ' in the second half. Terrible defense too.

Number 19 looked alright I felt.

tigers had a lot of running about them and we had too many kick offs
