Official Trial Day Thread: Roosters v Eels

[Mickie Lane]

Im glad Benny Ioelu has been named in the run on side which means to me that he is the number 2 hooker at the club, Watson is our 14.
Its just the way it is for Ioelu at the moment that he will have to relinquish his position to Robson no matter how good he plays in the first 6 games.
If he kills it & has to relinquish the starting hooker role other clubs will approach him for sure, I would like him to stay but I wouldn't begrudge him if he moved to another club.

Nat Butcher is not playing today with Wong starting in the backrow.

Looks like it might be raining by the time we kick off

In the first half of last weeks trial Nat Butcher did a great job of being Rodwells minder.

He did. He always does those hard work jobs. Nat is where no-one else is defensively in our defensive line, he is a machine, and fills holes that you don't see, because he filled the hole before you see it. And he's on half of what someone like Robson is on? What a bargain. Nat's a great player, loves the club too was a Roosters fan as a kid. Egan supported Souths.

Where do you see him most effective, edge or middle?

Yeah nah, Rodwell can hold his own against players of his age which was the case last weekend.

He's 84 kg and 5'11" so not a wee man by halves standards.

He also has very sound tackling technique.

Haven't seen the team Lists but I'm a little sceptical on that NSW Cup team we fielded... The Jersey Flegg side looked more like the NSW Cup side.

6-0 to us but now the game has paused due to lightning

[Mickie Lane]

I know its safety & all that but the players should be out there.
Whats the chances of getting directly hit by lightning?

Cracker game this one.

About the same as playing lotto

Awful tackle attempt from Pauga.

No team lists or commentary on BARTV for trials

Only identified Zac Sarfarti,Ben Johnson and Julius Mitchell.

Will be watching Jersey Flegg later.

Nice leap and catch from Talau.
