Kennedy is a better player than Tedesco was at the same age.
He had lots of injuries his first few years if I recall. Hurt his knee Rd1 against us and was out for the season.

great game from tricky
needed that performance against the warriors or knights and we win comfortably and make the finals
he will grow and i now pencil him in as the 7 for next year with nicho
Yes mate agree with this and he does have the chance to be as good as Cronk if he works hard at it.
He has the potential - he is not zippy but I don't think Cronk was all that quick either. Cronk worked like a Trojan at his game and perfected his kicking and game management. If Trindall can do that over the next year or two with solid coaching behind him, who knows what he is capable of. Big call I know but the ball is in his court.
Jesus that is a big call mate!!
The good thing about Tricky is the effort is there. Some of his scrambling defence is a good indicator of this.
All this chat just indicates how important it is that we get a high-caliber halves coach in.
A much better game from Trindall this week & the accolades are flowing, I just hope we give him time & leniency, as with younger halves, it’s a roller coaster, some weeks good, some weeks bad, he’s shown enough glimpses of play in his game to show he has some natural ability which you can never coach.
Let’s get the bread & butter sorted with him with good coaching & I believe we have a more than good 7 on our hands.
Agree. The surprising thiong with him is how much confidence he has and voice. A good 7 is an alpha male and tells people what to do. I have seen this bloke bark at others and they do what he wants.A much better game from Trindall this week & the accolades are flowing, I just hope we give him time & leniency, as with younger halves, it’s a roller coaster, some weeks good, some weeks bad, he’s shown enough glimpses of play in his game to show he has some natural ability which you can never coach.

I think we will cheap out and Holdsworth (who is part of our assistant coaching staff next season as well) will continue to be the bloke that works with our halves
great bloke and all and happy to have him around the team helping out but can he impart ideas and knowledge onto players that he himself never had the talent or ability to execute himself or is the theory and teaching alone sufficient?
Just feel there are candidates out there that could better impart more subtleties and skills of halves play upon our young play makers but not all great halves are great teachers either. You hear mixed reviews of some of the big names
On the other hand Daniel came through as AC for U20's so is used to working with young inexperience and some of our current players and is currently our Elite development coach / AC . Trindal and Metcalf are starting to hit their straps so he can't be doing a bad job

Yes mate. I'm not saying he's going to reach Cronk's heights but Cronk really wasn't on the radar when he was Tricky's age, he was still trying to establish himself. Bellamy probably saw it but not many others.
He also let Hynes go so should we just call it on him also?Well Bellamy has seen Trindall and let him go so we can safely say he is no Cronk.

I’d still get a guy in to challenge him though. We need a controlling, game managing half on the books because we don’t have one. It just gives a different option. I’m starting to think O’Sullivan could be a decent idea if he can’t secure a guaranteed spot elsewhere. Just as backup and to keep the heat on Trindall.
