"Amazing. Very very happy. 1 slip up from a guy who has a lot to work on and from Kelma who won't be here much longer. Plus a weak performance from Pryor who I think might get squeezed out also.

"EA, Twidle is a keeper for me; he seems to have a bit of that class and reads the play"
"Combinations of both I feel EA, the new rules will make 6 agains look to be much higher than last year.....I don't like it but dont have the answer's either. Yes it makes the game faster and 6 agains will (i believe) make them more seemless and…"

I've been criticising Penisini for a few years now, he isn't progressing. If he has another ordinary season he should be next to be tapped on the shoulder. The only real backrower we got is Jack Williams, Tuilagi doesn't cut it for me also. Teancum Brown is a better prospect than Tuivaiti. Trust me my bro I'm not a 22 year membership holder for no reason.
Oh really? 22 year membership holder? Wow sorry to critique you sir.
The hell is that mate hahah. Seriously being a member means nothing mate in terms of takes. If it means anything to you I too am also on 22 years.
Penisini is signed til 2028 so he is staying whether you like it or not.
Not sure on better prospect but both look great. I do agree with Tuilagi, as it's been 3 years now and has not shown any consistency.
Tallyn hmmm. He has really tested the ref patience with slowing the ruck down. Then poor read to conceed
Still thinks he's a tiger
Talyn's work rate is far far below than Ryley's. Look so lazy in dummy half and in defence. That Sharks try was on him as Brandy mentioned. Poor Ryda suffered a head knock. Needs more lower grades games for him. Teancum Brown looks well and hopefully will be a food forward in the future.
I mentioned last year stop hating on Tallyn til he has a full pre-season. He's had that and so far not great.
In fairness to Talyn, his game had picked up in the nd half. Maybe he's been told about his performance. Hoping he will eventually live to the potential that the Eels took him in for the good of the team, as well us fans.
I found his passing straight away off the ground was better then fatigue set in quick. Too quick.
He is still only 20 hard to believe, but has had a few NRL pre-seasons now. Smith is just your simply high effort Hooker who does not have many, if any deficiencies in his game. I have said i feel he is not the type that will set up many tries but his very steady in both attack and defence, enough to win games. Which leads me now to why sign Da Silva in the first place? Why not try for an older Hooker as a 2nd string and Smith as the future?
I trust Ryles' judgement, he sees something.
I think he looked a bit disinterested to start with LB, and I am guessing he got his arse kicked by Ryles at half time for letting through the Sharks only try.
His second half was much better and he led the forwards and seemed a lot more interested. Fitness was not a problem, just attitude.....most of the young players were outstanding. I will be disappointed if Tago gets picked, even in Cup, he is very ordinary.....the only player I would judge who was out of his depth.
Number 8 (Saxon Pryke) the player that took Hopgood's jersey was very good as well, I know nothing about him but he is the perfect example of the new "battleship" size middle that are going to come more and more into the game.He is a goer and he will grow and maybe ready by this time next year.Twidle is a damn good footballer, where he fits will be a real head scatcher for Ryles and his boys.
We look as good as we can at this stage!
I will say, yes it's first trial, but their fitness in the last 5-10mins, considering the amount of ball they had is not good. Da Silva was gassed after 5mins. He needs to pull his socks up if he wants to beat Smith.
