Trial Thread - Manly V Tigers

[robbiea]

I dunno. Why am I watching this. I could be re-grouting the kitchen floor.

I could be having more fun getting a second circumcision (with a wooden spoon)

I'm starting to get excited. In 2008 we lost our trial by 56-10 😉

Would you have a video of that game somewhere?.

 

[Will on the hill]

Like what I’ve seen from Jetski, Paseka, Aloiai and Davey. That is all. As expected without an experienced 1 or 9 we are gonna struggle.

why would you get the first one done with a wooden spoon?

 

[NYEagle]

The line is getting bent on every play, the defence looks lazy, uncommitted and running backwards.
Who are these people out there in Manly jumpers. What are we trailing for, the wooden spoon?

Great work Josh Schuster!!

 

[globaleagle]

Good work Shuster.

And good pressure on the catcher to get the ball back (sorry - didn't see his name).

Yeah, I needed a manscape and could have done that instead.

Now the pathetic arm grabbing tackles and the offloading is totally unforgivable - no excuses at all.

That’s what has annoyed me the most, the truck load of arm grabbing

You guys do you (and not ewes)

But I'm happy to see the team run around. I don't take anything much outta trial games.

About 5% of 'me' doesn't want us to get thumped but if Des gets a whole bunch of info outta it, then fine.

If the young guys see footy isn't all about doing bicep curls, adding oil, and posting on instagram...then that's a positive as well.

I'm actually surprised how well the nrl.com link worked!

 

[robbiea]

Fingers crossed Cust comes through trial unscathed ,or we are royally screwed.

OOPS !

 

[Spartan Eagle]

For me the positives were

Schuster, Aloai and Davey.

 

[The Who]

Let's talk about who didn't impress:
1. Sir Loin. Still hasn't learnt to pass the ball and continues to cut back inside. Not damaging in defence either. He was unimpressive last season and I'm wondering if he is still a certainty in our top 13 each week? On tonight's performance Jetski and Davy were superior in the second row, and I still harbour hopes that DESpicable hasn't forgotten Guaca.
2. Tippytoes. Everybody has bad games and I hope this was just one of them but he certainly doesn't deserve inclusion in our top 17 yet.

How did Walker, Saab, DCE, Foran, Jake, Turbo, Croker, and Haumole go?

Suli, Marty, Paseka, Aloia and Davey all went well, but they were only out there for a short time.

It was mainly just the kids against a strong Tigers outfit... ffs you'd think we just lost a grand final.
