fuck there are some boneheads on TK.. why would you risk the same guys when we saw at least two injuries to first grade players last night.

If Reimis goes well in the centres then I say throw Averillo on the wing with Meaney... Sadly I don't think this kid will ever become a footballer.
I’d like to see Harper before Averillo in first grade. Maybe I’m being harsh but these two seem to be better all round footballers without such glaring obvious deficiencies

Cogger and Averillo stepped up imo. For his limited opportunities Jake was always around the ball when something was happening forced an error and nearly got a strip off.
Agree about Averillo, would of been interesting to see Wakeham run the show without Cogger on the field. To me Cogger is just a better version of Frawley

I know it’s only a short game but This was an opportunity for young guys to impress, IMO no one took the opportunity
Averillo and BBO didn't do any harm to themselves... Definitely got involved as much as possible.

I'd rather we get injuries if it means bringing and playing a better team (obviously don't play injury prone players). I understand it tho but when you bring on Ryan to play in the middle for half the game it's a piss take and there is no way around it.

A way better version of Frawley... Frawley on takes the line on with the intent to dummy, Cogger plays for his outside men more than any half we have

Anyone feel like the refs helped Parra go through to the finals. Forward pass unpunished from Fergo and the shit penalty for tackled in the air while Dragons were defending their line.

Sharks scored two tries off forward passes and an illegal kick off from Johnson

All depends on the trials with 13 on 13.

If Reimis shits himself in the centres Harper will most likely go in and Smith back onto wing.

If Reimis goes well in the centres im hoping Averillo goes on the wing because Okunbor cant do NRL.

If Holland is even considered its time belmore burns down.

Was he not tackled in the air? Ferguson pass flat or almost flat and they're always going to miss some.

If Okunbors not gonna step up in nines like all the other young guns, he's not gonna do shit in FG. I was really hoping he'd run over someone.
He was very underwhelming though let’s see how he goes in the trials

So did we only score 3 tries in 2 nines games?

I noticed even with the game yesterday we didn’t really play any attacking football, it was mostly one out stuff. It’s the perfect opportunity to throw it around ffs.

No one helped them more than we did, at least their taking it seriously.
