Trial Games

[silvereagle]

Players I'd love to get a glimpse of in trials - Patolo, Navale, Aitasi James (he's gotta show something!) and also backs Walsh and Willett.

Same. Particularly interested in Patolo. Quite impressive on some of the video shorts and big wraps from some of my Bulldogs friends but been hampered with injuries last two seasons. Fingers crossed for the guy but could solve a few issues in our forwards this year with a strong showing. With Aitasi James I have been disappointed. Big lump of a guy and Lots of promise when he came over from the Tigers last year but definitely needs to deliver much more on the field. Interesting to see what he's got in the trials this year

Don 't think that Patolo is eligible for i st grade until mid year or so unless his contract arrangement or status has changed .
Looks like some good wraps on him though and maybe only some injury issues that have held him back which he can ideally overcome .
Not real confident with James going that much better ,
Seems in a similar category with guys like Sykes and Diaz who have struggled a bit to get to a better or more consistent level , though Sykes always seems to have a good work ethic [ and Diaz gone . ]
Tevaga may bring a bit of vigor to the middle but also not a given and really need Alioia to play a more influential role as just depending on Tent , Bully , Jake[ for the most part at least ] and Sipley could be a challenge
