And are we so quick to forget Townsend on Ponga?I remember Lachlan Lewis making an impressive tackle on Cody Walker

Defence and tackling are not the same thing. In general Trindall is a good tackler and he misses very few when defending in the middle. His positioning and reads on the edge up not up to scratch for the NRL. At least they weren't on Sunday. Again though, I'll forgive him. It was a chop/change 20 minutes and he had a 21yo middle forward playing second row next to him.How many good halves in the history of the game are known for their defence? Especially in recent years?
What do you think a coach would say mate?what I like is Fitz backed him this week in interviews
playing well. so is their young half.
another half to go...
i know,What do you think a coach would say mate?
Yep and that’s without him having Hynes running half the show for himKeep it up Tricky, absolutely killing it.
Couldn't even feed a scrumHas a long way to go to be a first grade half
The weirdest thing about it is that he has a fantastic long kicking game. It's his biggest strength. Probably just a poor decision under fatigue to try and grab extra metres.Trindalls failed kick out hurt me so bad.
It’s a single kick with nobody pressuring you defensively. So crap to **** that up.
**** happens I guess.
Overall he played quite well.
Hynes injury is TBD still I guess but if Trindall can have another decent game or two Moylan will want to find his combo with Hynes very quickly.
Still, hoping Hynes is back next week.
Coming in round 1 for your NRL opener is kinda a big deal especially when you are replacing the Dally M halfback and Braydon was very good. Can he do it every week though? not sure if I want to find out
He took his chance tonight did Trindall though and credit to the pre-season and training staff, shame his 6 let him down and he didn't get many opportunities in the second half. Love Braydons desire to make it in first grade and his passion for the club and wanting to win and play his best
Hynes is on another level though and as good as Braydon was we still missed Nicho, that's how influential Nicho is, he is the heat and soul of this team. Even when his replacement kicks a 40/20, scores a try and sets up another (forward???) having Nicho there we might have won that game, Nicho makes everyone better while Braydon is more of just an individual talent - not that I hold that against him, his more experienced team mates around him needed to step up and not **** the bed the way they did
Perhaps I’m interpreting it incorrectly, but it seems you’re looking it from a Trindall replacing Hynes stand point.Coming in round 1 for your NRL opener is kinda a big deal especially when you are replacing the Dally M halfback and Braydon was very good.
