Sharks vs dogs trial

[Benno Bulldog]

I think the sharks might surprise a few this year and will pressure the fuck out of Averillo. We will have our hands full on Monday night..

it looks like he hates it when they rush him, they should have him rushed and charged at constantly at training till he can handle it.

 

[J_B]

I'd give each "half" (Avo, BBO, Wakeham and Flamingo) 20 mins next to Burton.

I'm sure they've been doing that at training all year

Didn't look like they were training at all lol

 

[J_B]

It's trials everybody relax lol

One big question why the fuck does he persist with Okunbor I don’t get it

One big question why the fuck does he persist with Okunbor I don’t get it

I'm not sticking up for him last week definitely wasn't good but i assume Lumelume is still away on leave? Allan must still be in post covid recovery? Toia and Casey aren't top 30 i didn't think or are they? So maybe not practical playing them again and Alamoti on a wing is pointless etc etc.

Idk but maybe he is getting the gig due to some of these factors and one of the other blokes slots in for Rd 1 unless OK plays pretty well all game on Monday...Burns likely gets a run too not sure what they do there.
He got better late last season and is the incumbent of sorts...polarising figure clearly Lol.

 

[GreenTurd]

1 in 5 games okonbor maybe plays ok, it shits me we have better options in some positions but persist with liabilities

 

[chisdog]

I remember when manu vatuvei was like that, very bad hands in early part of his career. To warriors credit they stuck with him but I just can't see it with Okunbor. He didn't play like his spot was in jeopardy the other night, Casey on the other hand probably did enough imo to be picked ahead of okonbur for this trial, even giving creedence toia a chance on the wing considering it is a trial.
We've already seen what okunbor can do in the top 17, why not trial someone else as when someone else plays well it's usually met with they weren't on the same time the opposition was at full strength

Maybe Casey can coach Okunbor on how he turned his handling around. Casey dropped plenty when I saw him play last year.

 

[MoNkEy]

When Knockonbor is about to be involved in the play, I get the same dirty feeling of dread as I did when Katoa or Idiot got near the ball last season.

Vatuvei was an aggressive beast. Okunbor's a pussy (no offence).

 

[Rassayri]

Don’t forget we have Burns we have Allen they are far more safe then Okunbor is I’m sorry to say but Okunbor might be there come Rd 1 he is so bad under the high ball and gets found out in D I really don’t understand

 

[NPC83]

Averillo and Okunbor- for Bailey and Corey Allan

Fair enough bro I rate BBO but he was pretty avg last week and I’m sure he’ll get game time anyway to stake another claim. Is Allan even fit?

 

[The DoggFather]

It's trials everybody relax lol

Our last trial and only one with our gun players.

 

[senshidog]

Corey Allan must still be unavailable due to Covid. That's the only reason I can think for his omission.

Hope they give Burns a good run. Could even push Nado to wing and put Burns in at centre.

 

[finchie]

If that's Barrett's top 17 we're in trouble.

He must be trying to get sacked or something
If that’s the best line up we won’t be smelling a top 8 position
That’s borderline embarrassing

is that Steve masters guy injured also
What about Corey allan

poor Declan casey showed more in 40 mins than that brain dead muppet knockonbur has in 3 years

Masters isn’t with us anymore

 

[finchie]

Knockonmor to cost us at least 2 tries again.... Not including his standard 3 knock ons.

Id rather bring back adam
Idiot and play him on the wing fmd
The guy is utter trash
He wouldn’t make an A grade side in the bush
They’d snap him in half

 

[finchie]

Masters isn’t with us anymore

Thank u

This burns me.

 

[scottywilson]

Exactly!


Losing Cotric this year does not equal Mahony for next year and we have plenty of Cap space freed up for next year with 9 (or maybe 10) players off contract.

Always Bulldog

It makes zero sense to me allowing Cotric to leave now.. could've held of another year or possibly freed up the million halves we got by moving a few on.. i reckon he would've looked really good in our lineup this season.
