Official Braydon Trindall

[Sparkles]

I remember Lachlan Lewis making an impressive tackle on Cody Walker

And are we so quick to forget Townsend on Ponga?

How many good halves in the history of the game are known for their defence? Especially in recent years?

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.

Keep it up Tricky, absolutely killing it.

what I like is Fitz backed him this week in interviews
playing well. so is their young half.
another half to go...

What do you think a coach would say mate?

i know,
of course, coach would

average punters would have doubts

 

[sharks2010]

Has a long way to go to be a first grade half

Yep and that’s without him having Hynes running half the show for him

 

[Sutty]

I think he plays better without Hynes.

Sucks that we couldn’t hold the ball 2nd half to get him into the game.

Couldn't even feed a scrum

A young half making rookie mistakes is tolerable, an experienced half making fundamental mistakes is just disappointing.

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.

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.

We might just have to wait until he signs for the cowboys to see him at his perfectly rounded best.

 

[Proud Shark]

We were chasing points and he bit off more than he could chew trying to get up upfield. He was phenomenal tonight.

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

Would have been the same result with Nicho there, just like in jadt year's final.

I know it's only round 1, but I really hope we give Trindall and chance with Hynes.

Perhaps I’m interpreting it incorrectly, but it seems you’re looking it from a Trindall replacing Hynes stand point.

Nobody wants that.

Most people are now considering Trindall replacing Moylan after that performance.

 

[Deleted member 3365]

**** I just realised that Trindall is only 23. Pretty green still.

 

[CrazyMatt]

He definitely wasn’t the problem last night. Apart from not finding touch with the penalty kick, that’s inexcusable. But overall, I felt he was one of our best and filled in very admirably.
