"It's not so much the result in trials, but what you did to get there. Parra showed that they are up for a challenge, especially coming from behind to win. That's what would excite Ryles at the moment. Not winning trial games, not even winning the…"
"I reckon when Ryles signed TDS last year he didn't think that Smith had what it takes to be a topline dummy half. It would be interesting to see what his thoughts are now, as Smith has come on in leaps and bounds. I think Parra definitely is better…"
"Trial form means nothing but it certainly doesn't hurt to win either. I mean that's precisely what both teams are trying to do in a trial match. Winning is infectious. "
It doesn't change the better part of the last three years, but we won the 2026 Witzer Pre-season Challenge on the back of some encouraging trial form.

It should be like that every time we're attacking inside the red zone. If we don't have everyone on their toes running in numbers, we'll just be easy meat for the defenders. Running in numbers AT SPEED puts the defenders in 2 minds about who they're going to commit themselves to in order to try & break down our attacking raid.
We've gotta make their defenders clueless and basically have to take a guess as to wether player X is gonna try to bust through the line himself to score or wether this & that player are only decoy runners, and also have to worry about a grubber into the in-goal for a try/repeat set, or even a cutout pass to the winger.
This can only be achieved by having multiple players running at speed and in perfect formation. I just hope that what we saw the other night wasn't the limit to what our attack can produce and that it was just the beginning of even better attacking plays to come on our way to shell shocking the Melbourne storm or whoever our unlucky opponent may be in the 2017 NRL Premiership decider ;))
Always something to complain about
