Can't wait to see the kennels reaction if Reynolds out plays Flanagan.

He probably will. He's like the reserve grader that turns it on in the trials because he plays at 100%

expected to happen

I know it is only a trial but on paper we should easily roll that raiders team. Will keep my disappointment in check if we don't.

 

[LoneWolf]

It’s a trial game with the main purpose to get players match fit and conditioned

The only worry should be injuries and anything else is off little concern

The result of this means nothing. The majority of our expected first grade team isn’t even playing. Hope people remember that before losing their shit lol

 

[KiwiDog7]

Looking forward to seeing the new defensive structures particularly on the edge where we been poor for 5 years

 

[GoTheDoggies]

The intensity won’t be there. If you were looking at what you don’t want to see it would be a game that the Māori all star had.

As long as we look organised, kick chase, last tackle options, communication, not clunky. I will give that a pass, if it’s been about connection in the off season we want to see a team that knows their roles.

What do you mean? Its the opposite. The majority of our fg side IS playing. We are missing JAC, Burton, TPJ, Perham and thats about it.

Dont forget about Kiks!

Dogs have selected at least a dozen NRL players, whereas Raiders only have 4 or 5, so will be very embarrassing if we lose.

Exactly, however our backline is not very defence orientated based on past performances... We could easily lose if defensive structure isn't up to scratch

This is a given,Reynolds can actually kick and has more than a nothing inside pass in his game.

It's okonbur, he's rushing in the moment he feels a lick of pressure

 

[The DoggFather]

Yuck, they get 2 of the c***iest c***s to talk shit on fox....

 

[judyisapunk]

is the game on free to air anywhere? fk Kayo

 

[speedy2460]

Interesting to see if Averillo can cut it as a centre. If not, probably reserve grade.

 

[Brendan7]

Hungover and waiting for our game

The only way to get over a hangover is drink more..

Interesting to see if Averillo can cut it as a centre. If not, probably reserve grade.

He has played at least a dozen games in first grade centre I reckon and I think he has great potential there. Last year before he got moved to fullback he scored a double against the dragons playing right centre.

His defence needs to improve but that’s more about reading the play as opposed to his tackling technique

 

[judyisapunk]

Averillo was pretty average at centre tbh but this is a better team now with a better coach
