Trindall isn't surplus, he's just a bit of a mess at the moment. Really needs some consistent footy to see what we've actually got in him.

He might even end up doing a Tracey, but still not sure in what role. Ballplaying 13 possibly, his defence is fine. He's a liability off the bench right now as a half. Either way, you've got to show you can get the basics right first, for 10 or 80 mins.

I’m happy to keep him but he’s played himself out of a 14 jersey.
Better for everyone he plays 7 each week getting his reps in Cup

 

[The Punisher]

That's way over the top. There's a good player there, the role he's playing obviously isn't for him.

As has been said a million times, he needs to play full games in the 7 for the Jets.

I dont think it is too harsh.
Hes not a first grade standard player.
Maybe NSW cup is his level.
But he shouldn't be anywhere near a Sharks shirt.
We see other teams blood these young rookie 7s and they show what they're capable of from the get go.
Schnider @ Canberra
Sexton @ Titans
Walker @ Roosters
All of those debuted after Trindell & have shown more promise.

We'd have been better letting Trindell go and making a play for Volkmann

But thats just my opinion

All playing their proper role though. He’s had some decent games in 7.
Plenty of halves in NRL don’t establish themselves until more like 24
Admittedly his failure to grab the 14 jersey is disappointing and a bit of a concern… I mean he subbed on at 7 last night and looked just as out of sorts as his other games off bench.

Fitz could easily pick Miller ahead of him last night if he didn’t have some faith in him

It’s been said by me and plenty of others.
The 14 isn’t suiting him unfortunately so better for him (and us) to play a full 80 with the Jets each week so that he can work on his skill and some confidence for if/when needed in top grade in the halves.

Everyone has a right to their own opinion of course, but I disagree with The Punisher’s.

Well Flanju is better than Trindall as it stands and they already have him so... plus they need Vaughan

cmon mate

no need to move him on, but he shouldnt be on the bench

there is no value for him, his development or us

especially when we have cam and brailey in the side, plus a lot of versatile players

this is it in a nutshell

I’ve said regularly I’m not sure what’s best for his development, 80 in cup or 10-20 in NRL. Pros and cons to each.

I’ve changed my mind, I’m completely off him as a bench NRL player. Better for all parties he play cup I think

BTW. How were the pizza’s last night?

I got fish and prawns with rice in a cream sauce. Very nice, and only served at full time.
Cheese/crackers/dips et al provided during game

Thats fair mate, each to their own.

Does pose a good question

What in fact that this is an option, how would we feel about doing that deal

I for one would be willing to swap him for Vaughan, I'm on the fence with tricky, doesn't really bother me if he stays or goes

 

[stormshark]

Tricky to kick the winning FG V The Donkeys next game☄

when no one ask Gards about his spaghetti

I think he sees it as his opportunity, tries too much and in the end screws it all up. It's a pretty common human trait. If he could just relax and stick to the basics he would be much better but that is easier said than done.

I think he needs to play full games with the Jets too.

 

[Thresher]

Something which is pretty obvious too is that the generally expected role of a back off the bench is impact.

So he's probably thinking that coming on for 10 minutes near the end of the game as the only fresh player on the field, he needs to make maximum impact in a short space of time.

But he's not an impact player. He's not fast, or big and powerful, so he tries to pull off some freak low percentage trick plays instead.

 

[apezza]

At the end of day Fitz knows 1000x more than me. I can only guess he figures until Tracey is back it is the lesser of two evils persisting with Trindall as 14 rather than having no coverage for halves / fullback.

true and tbf to Trindall that seems to be exactly how Fitz is picking and playing him unless he is giving him 10 minutes just to keep his FG 'fitness' and experience up but that's a risky proposition when Braydon isn't playing well

Tricky came on with a bit of a different situation against Manly. Hynes was shifted out of the halves so this was less about 'impact' or giving someone a breather and more about replacing a player in the halves. We were already in front and just had to play smart, settle down and close the game out and let Hynes take care of things in the 1 for 10 minutes.

I don't think Trindall was trying to be fancy or bring max impact in this instance he just simply didn't play very well - his passing seemed ok and he slotted in on the spreading of the ball ok it seems , I mean he does train with these blokes

They don’t call him tricky for nothing
