I don't see it with CHT tbh. I'm not sure he has it in him to be a long term half in the nrl.
We could go for someone like Volkman from the Roosters. His pathway is blocked and he is highly rated there.
I'm not giving up on Trindall but some extra competition from next year would be great.
Trindall near the line, will he go himself or kick into some feet?

Disappointed to hear about Trindall's game. Moylan looks to be the safest option for now, also wouldn't be surprised if Fitz is holding out to buy a decent half.

He's not a Hynes or Moylans ringhole. Up there with great Sharks players like Gavin Clinch, Blain Stanley and Stuart Topper.

I actually don't mind this, would be a upgrade on Trindall

Really harsh to write off the guy after a trial game.

It is, hopefully he shakes the cobwebs off from the All Star and trial games, and comes back ready for the next trial.
The thing is, from what I read, he doesn't need to be flash. He just needs to get to his kicks and have a decent passing game and let Hynes and Kennedy do their thing.

22 year old halfback with limited experience has a bad game.....someone should shoot him.

Not that player voting/rating is the be all , end all
Trindall started playing first grade about round 15 with a different 5/8 to work with regularly .
Took a while to hit his straps.
Scored 2 points here rounds 20 , 23 , 24 , 25 .
Not saying he deserves a starting spot this year , but last year did a fair job it seems

That seems a bit extreme. A good keelhauling should suffice.
This is a circular argument mate...
A bunch of us said he is good late last year.
He played bad.
He must be good though because look at how well we rated him last year.
Therefore we are right. He is good.
He was statistically the worst defender in the competition last year. He did some good things, but was out of his depth at NRL level. This doesn't mean I'm ruling out him being good this year. It just means that there were plenty on here watching him with rose-coloured glasses last season.

I wrote him off last year and continue to do so with each game.

I reckon my idea is less cruel!

I really want Trindall to succeed as I don't think Moylan is up to it fitness wise and over the whole season. Trindall did do some good things last year although it did take me a while to concede there was a bit of a footballer in there.
Now, I know that yesterday was only a trial and I am not putting any stock into the scoreline or the way we played. But you would perhaps expect Trindall to lead a bit better yesterday than what he did. His high shot may yet suspend him Round 1 so Fitz may not have to make a decision at all.
But trial or no trial, there were things that he did yesterday that didn't put him in a good light unfortunately. Even with his limited first grade experience I would have expected him to show his wares a bit more than he did yesterday. It's a long season though - I won't write him off but he is going to have to do well now to shake off yesterday's outing.

Kinda like Nicho apparently.

I've supported Trindall but no point in sugar coating yesterday, he was ordinary at best. Poor defense, poor decision making, poor execution, poor discipline and he easily got frustrated, even more so than usual.
He's obviously trying too hard hard and is desperate for a spot in the squad and he didn't handle that pressure, he needed to help lead that young inexperienced team but showed the things not to do.
Disappointing
Yea forward pack and back line was outdone by panthers but we still had chances on their line that Trindall ruined with brain snaps and lack of focus and patience.
I am getting worried cause he has a real problem giving us more than 40 good minutes and then we have a day like yesterday where you get a bad 80 mins. His diamonds are more like Cubic zirconia - can look OK but not worth alot and there's plenty around.
Moylan is a genuine rocks and diamonds player not Trindall, but at least Moylan is consistent at being Matt Moylan and we know his qualities and drawbacks. What I mean by that is it tends to balance out far more than with Braydon.
Now Moylan is our 'safe' option hahaha what a funny world rugby league is but I am now agreeing with this assessment despite giving Trindall a tick for the All Stars game.
Money bags Chad or Flanjo is better than that display from Braydon who likely is now out of the picture and just holding onto the frame.
But tbf in the past we have carried players like Dugan and Moylan when they could barely catch a ball or make a pass stick. Spose we have more options these days.
