He's a 5/8 now. Doing his best in a position he's not suites to.

Starved of ball second half and when we had possession only Mbye capable of putting on a play. But he left early then we were left play maker short. A big worry this. Had hoped out of all these kids we'd have uneathed a promising play maker tonite.

Why did the coach give Moga any minutes at all?

We will know more next week in the charity shield match. But what I have seen is that there has been no changes to our attacking or defensive structures. Liddle won't be much of a danger from dummy half. Our kicking game will largely fall on the shoulders of Hunt again. It's more of the same again. I did predict that we could get touched up and the only reason we are within sight of St Helens is because they were rusty and our completion rate was outstanding in the first half. Our kids won't give up so that is a positive but in reality they are 2 to 3 seasons away. We are relying too much on individual brilliance to score our points.

Herring has a wicked bomb!

Did Zac Herring play? Dead set the comms rarely mentioned our young bench players so hard to follow who was on and who was not.

Don't need:
- Liddle
- Mbye
- Burns

Only a trail but for the life of me, can't understand Mulheisen at 5/8 and Liddle in the team at all.

Just a trial. Couchman x 2, Egan, Finau x 2 and Johnson look strong.
Liddle, no attack, average service at best from dummy half.

Did Shereb even get on the field? If so, he did an outstanding job in making himself disappear.

I reckon he was good, provided our only attacking structure. Probably bombed a try for us when he made that break and instead of trying to find a fast outside back he settled for a closer but slower forward. That showed lack of vision. I'd have him starting the season at 5/8 ahead of Bud. Muhleisen played out of position but was busy. On that performance Liddle should start season in Ressies but Griffin will play him first at hooker.

Who was that blond heavy set lad that came on late. Showed plenty of enthusiasm. We seem to have invested heavily in forwards but little in backs, specially halves.

He made one good break but don't you thnk the team would have been better served by Herring on from the start? it was a trial after all.

Both Couchmans looked like good players. Like Junior JDBs. Maybe it was one of those. Egan was more red headed.

Disappointing start to the season, or pre season. I wasn't able to see the game. Who were the standouts?

Connor Mulheisen played 80min at 5/8. God knows why but he hardly put a foot wrong in a position he's not suited to.

Couchman(s) ran hard, made metres and tackled well. Stewart was a menace with ball in hand but "ball in hand" proved to be a bit of a problem. Had a few knock ons. As mentioned above, Connor Mulheisen played 80min at 5/8 and didn't put a foot wrong. Mbye and Lawrie were strong while they were on. Aaron Johnson and Egan didn't get many minutes but made the minutes they got count.
Not sure if Jackson Shereb got on the field and if so, for how many minutes but was unsighted.

Well now onto the Charity Shield. I would suggests that apart from JDB, Bird the majority of our contracted players will be selected. It was interesting to see how Griffin swapped the 2 centres last night. My starting 13 would be:
1. Sloan
2. Feigai
3. Suli
4. Lomax
5. Rav
6. Sullivan
7. Hunt
8. Lawrie
9. Liddle
10. Molo
11. Sua
12. Murdoch Masila
13. J Hunt
I hope Mulheisen is given a go off the bench I know Mbye will probably be in the starting team instead of Sullivan but the sooner we settle on the combination the better. Other reserves will be Woods, Lui- Tosa, Burns, Moga.
This is an important match for us because we could be underdone going into our 1st match against the Titans so we need to give game time to those players who will be in our starting 17 come round 2.
