Trial Game 1 v Knights

[Mailroomsgi]

Mat Feagai’s footy IQ is terrible, Jams in when we had more numbers than Newy

If it comes to needing someone to play centre if Suli or Val are injured, don’t care who it CANNOT be him

 

[Xuiz]

Fale and Feagai having terrible defensive games

 

[Eric]

Yeah he;s had a couple of errors but he can motor.

I think I read the Warriors rated him in every aspect of the game for a winger but just had SO many mistakes in his game.

 

[Justadragon]

Sloan doing his usual nothing. Highly disappointing.

I can now see why this kid is highly regarded. I meant it's a nothing game but its games like this you look at your youngster and their head space and this kid is our future. He showed great determination to run that player down.

 

[Eric]

First half standouts;

• Kade Reed
• Daylight
• More daylight
• Couchman (I've given up on which is which and which is making this or that tackle and this or that run.)
• Tu (Has a few mistakes in him but apart from that, looks like the compete package for a winger.)

 

[Mug Fan]

Sloan doing his usual nothing. Highly disappointing.

Playing like it's the first time he's seen a football.
The difference in head space between him and Kade is chalk and cheese

 

[Justadragon]

Dragons completion rate 57%, knock ons, I dont think I've seen a worse half of football, and yes I know its the first trial of the year.

 

[GCRV]

There are a number of positives to take from that. Not just Reed. The negatives are things Flanno has been moving to fix. Like Sloan, Feagai. Also sorry to say but Blake Lawrie has nothing. I think these are 3 Flanno wants gone.

 

[Mug Fan]

The interesting selection is Reed starting 7 and O'Neil 14, would indicate to me Reed is next in line.
O'Neil to me is very much a Glover type Cup 7.
Full squad and I think he starts the year Cup 14 same as he was at Dogs when Woods passed him.

This game is excatly what Kade has been showing at training

 

[Eric]

Sloan doing his usual nothing. Highly disappointing.

First half disappointments:

• Sloan (Early on, why did he drop that spilt kick? It looked like he didn't even try.)
• LKT (disappointing first 20 minutes but settled down and did ok in the next 20.)
• Feagai (When Newcastle were denied that try to Sharp, he was tackled by Fale and I think it was LKT but he did brush past Feagai like he wasn't even there! Yet again! How can someone that big, that athletic be as bad or worse than Sloan in defence?)

 

[Eric]

This game is excatly what Kade has been showing at training

Nailed it yet again! Though I haven't seen O'Neil play but can't see him being better than Reed or he'd already be in NRL.

Yep, I just cant work this kid out, he's been given an opportunity to at least show something, and he puts on this display, surely its his last year.

 

[redv4life]

Sloan … ugh

 

[jodragon40]

This game is excatly what Kade has been showing at training

He is bloody good

 

[GCRV]

Need to see Heidke and Buchanan on ASAP.

 

[Justadragon]

Well it looks like we have brought Reed down to the Dragons level

 

[Eric]

Reed lays on another try.

 

[Eric]

Well it looks like we have brought Reed down to the Dragons level

He had a look, dropped a pass. Johns and Thurston would do that in their prime from time to time.

 

[Mailroomsgi]

Kids so composed, looks like play slows down when he’s got the ball which is rare

Disappointing from LKT because he needed to have a game like that from Reed but he’s been a passenger much like Sloan
