Pre Game Thread, Trial 1: Bulldogs vs Storm @ Belmore, 7pm Thu 15-Feb

So dramatic. It's a trial, winning or losing doesn't mean shit and that's the reality of trials. Fans care about them far too much now that they're streamed.

We care about every match and I bet if we lose you will be the first to mention it.

 

[King Gus]

honestly don't care what the result is as long as we don't get any injuries and put up a decent performance.

realistically we should win this game easy with most of the storm main team not playing

Hopefully we should win, it’s not like we haven’t got reserve graders either.

Something like that

The only two players in the Storm side likely to feature in the Top 17 when all available are Papenhuyzen who only played 3 games last year and Smith. We should win by 30 tonight.

Thought we were in a cost of living crisis. Sling some this way!!

Keen to see if Todd and Hopoi show something great opportunity for our up and coming middles.

Huge hey. They’d have to be thinking with our lack of depth, any injuries, suspensions, there in. Surely trying to impress

It would be nice if everyone could take this game for what it is, a trial, but zero doubt the kerboards are being warmed up by the usual perpetrators

Good kids, will be benchies in a couple of years no doubt.

Last years trial against the sharks was an indication of how our season will go... They're still games, especially if u are playing a full strength spine.

You should be very nervous.

We should beat this Storm team comfortably. We need to see a lot of improvement (literally in every area) and energy in the first 20 minutes at least.

There’s a heap mate. Wishart played 14 games last year. Not gonna list whole team, but there probably more nrl games in that side than us.

After watching us for the last few years. Saying we should beat anyone comfortably doesn’t resonate with me. Trial or not. I just want a solid team performance where everyone puts in. With no injuries.

If anyone sees a metallic green blur heading down the M5 around 6:30pm tonight that is me trying to get home in time to watch it live...

I took a day off to make sure

Feck, I remember I use to do this back in the days. Nostalgic.
