OFFICIAL | GAME DAY Game day Thread vs. Storm: Trial 1 @ Belmore, 7pm

[Berries]

If Critta plays he ices some of the opportunities that young Clark had. Poasa, Hughes and Kautoga all strong. Hutcho and Salmon good. Xerri solid. Burto and Reed disappointing. Some good early signs though

Critta probably gets 3 there tonight

 

[Total Fool]

What’s wrong with some of you?

Defensively so much better, and more depth in attack as well.

Salmon has been awesome so far

 

[AlzzBulldog]

Hows poasas fitness, he could be decent

 

[Scoooby]

Would be good if we ran with a bit more pace when In attack.
Oportunity is there if they get their timing right,they pass short when they should go wider instead.
Taaffe overplaying his hand.
Positive signs
Last try coach won’t be happy

Taaffe may be overplaying, but that’s because he’s trying, he’s also been safe at the back a bringing the ball back a good passing, better than what we had at the back all last year .

 

[BMOC]

Our attack sucks again. So much possession but can’t score .

 

[Kempsey Dog]

I know it's only a trial and a few key players missing, but that was a massively underwhelming half of footy...

 

[Dogmonster]

Next Storm try i see, that will be it, ill be going for a root.

 

[DinkumDog]

Early days but scoring points still a struggle.
We had all the ball, much of it down the Storm’s end and we’re down at half time. Maybe don’t need to worry so much about middles though - King, Poasa and Hughes all put in well in that first half.

I'd rather see what's happening right now than if the Hughes try was given and then we perhaps score a couple more and win comfortably.. could lead to complaicancy / unrealistic expectations. We have been the better team, have lacked some polish. Overall been so much happier with the performance than almost anything we saw last year.

 

[Magic Burton]

Welcome back papahousing

What a play. Had to be perfect and it was. Good to see Paps back

As much as we all wanna see Canterbury win and do well it's good to see Paps back playing a full half of footy. The game needs elite attacking talents like him.

 

[DFLWatto]

It's a trial game.

Everyone having meltdowns after 40 mins of a trial game lmao

 

[Cook]

They better practise it because the Storm kids are shutting it down lol

Yes but my point is we have actually created space. Be good to see us under pressure to see if revert back to same old shit, or stick with it. Jason Taylor seems to be having an impact. Storm D has been pretty on point, scramble especially

 

[AlzzBulldog]

I know it's only a trial and a few key players missing, but that was a massively underwhelming half of footy...

The timing is way off, trials are always scrappy

 

[Nate DAWG]

Critta probably gets 3 there tonight

100%. Would of given Taafe more space too

 

[CrittaMagic69]

So damn if he does damn if he doesn’t perform ?

Yes, pretty much. He's a nothing forward and my opinion isn't changing because of 40 minutes against a reserve grade side.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Our attack sucks again. So much possession but can’t score .

Spine will take time to gel... but Burton, x2 left foot kickers, Mahoney sometimes erratic

 

[Freakzilla]

Our attack sucks again. So much possession but can’t score .

Burton & Taaffe ain’t it.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

Out of 300 comments I read about 5 positive points. Good work TK.
