Manly score....no idea who is worth following in this team and no idea the score.

Would love a team list

SG ball to follow but I gotta run

 

[Disco]

Some big big boys in the ball

 

[Disco]

Think Zaidas, Large and Laiafi are all playing?

Shame I have to go.

Large dangerous on the right edge,the dummy half (Muagututia?) working hard in defense and backing up the break from Onitoni.

 

[Smokin Joe]

I know it is only a Ball trial,but gee Muagututia has stood out from the start.
He is a decent size for a dummy half and can see why he has played a bit at lock.
Looks a real asset in defense in the middle,stands out as he works hard and physical, doesn't look like a real "fast twitch" athlete(by that I mean super quick and athletic,not slow by any means....),but looks instinctive and backs up breaks,seems to read what is happening,has a bit of a kicking game close to the line.

 

[Smokin Joe]

Strong up the middle with Laiafi,Muagututia and Campbell Munn,but they are tearing us apart out wide pretty easily,only a trial I guess,but not encouraging.....

 

[Smokin Joe]

One area of concern for Muagututia for me,his passing game from dummy half was not 100 percent,got a bit sloppy as he fatigued,think he played the full game.
Wonder if the club views him as a utility option more than an outright 9?
He looked impressive out there but there were a couple of sloppy passes.Physically he is very tall for a 9,looks like a lock physique wise.

Has anyone stumbled across the squad lists for the juniors??

Just watched the replay of the SG Ball game & smoking Joe has pretty much nailed it. Disappointing game from manly that was full of errors but that’s why we have trials I guess. Defence was also horrible at times.

Large looks like a unreal athlete but not a natural ball player, has a lot of work to do but still so young & I’m sure learning from DCE + Brooks over the next few years will make a huge difference.

Was good to see Muagututia taking a step out from hooker to bring his forwards onto the ball & getting players over the advantage line as they catch it. Like Joe said he had a few shocking passes as he tired out. Would have liked to see a few more scoots but manly turned it over mosts sets before he had the chance.

Laiafi was a standout in the pack & looks really hard to put down. Good to see a big unit like him charging into the defensive line bowling a few. Looked out of puff in defence a few times but that’s expected from a guy his size in the first trial of the year. Excited to see him develop over the next few years, looks like a big future for him.

Wouldn’t recommend to watch as it was a thumping but if you want to just go on youtube & search Bunnies TV
