Official Braydon Trindall

[Gards]

has a knack of coming on fresh late game and instantly making an important tackle on our tryline - dunno if its enough to justify a position on the bench but if a half ever goes down I spose we will be somewhat thankful and he does give Mcinnes who works hard a breather (I don't really want Connor filling in that role)

maybe some day we will see more from him contribution wise with the ball and in attack

Needs to not force it though like he was earlier in season.

Think most on hia would agree he's still not needed on the bench. People keep trying to find something positive in his 15min cameo's. We either need a bigger body or a faster one on the bench, not one in between.

Saved us plenty of times in defence tonight. Tough little bloke.

Umm. Not sure I agree mate. I did think like this but considering the injuries we have at the moment I think he is the best fit.

We need some kind of cover for injuries on the halves and he has shown he can still contribute when he comes on.

Credit where credits due , I'd love Miller on the bench instead.
But he did VERY well tonight

 

[MrDravid]

Miller on the bench would play a different role... Trindall once again did what was asked of him tonight.

I'm not trying to be a smartarse , but what do you feel was asked of him ?
Defend well peehaps ?

I think firstly he's in there for halves cover... and if not needed it's 15-20 mins in the middle to defend.

Fair Call
But , not many teams have a halves reserve on the bench
Do you think Miller might be able to do good bench job , even in the halves if push came to shove ?

 

[Gumby]

Yes.

 

[bort]

Yes.

Great post to start a fresh page with haha

Made me wonder if I'd stumbled across the Copulation Thread.

I think you want Miller in the middle but doing plenty on the attacking side of the ball, not the defensive side. Plenty of support rubs, injecting some speed into the game.

I think it can work and would like to see it at some point.

All this talk re Miller - I assume you have watched him more than the one game a few weeks ago?

My take on that one game was that he was fairly solid without being spectacular. Yeh it was a great try he scored but he also let the ball bounce which could of gone anywhere.

Maybe I need to rewatch.

Made one of the most meters ever by a debutant which isn’t a bad effort

Although record is held by Denan Kemp so do with that information what you will

I was talking about Miller as a potential 14, not a 1. For his development, much happier seeing him play 80 for the Jets (though you could probably say the same for Trindall).

Been reading up on the competition bort?

People complain about our defence but campaign for players based on what they would possibly bring to our attack.

"Our defence is ****. Aidan Tolman does his job but offers no impact. Bring in Miller or Tracy to run around tired forwards instead of Trindall."

Scoring points really isn't our problem. Miller and Tracy might find out a tired forward but maybe it's more crucial for our tired forwards to have the defence Trindall brings, which was great on Sunday. That hip drop penalty was rubbish too, defenders are quickly running out of places to tackle because a flick above the shoulders is a penalty and grabbing a bloke low will probably end up a hip drop. Cuddle them and they will probably sit down and you will be done for a crusher.

Replace Tolman with an impact forward (who?) you lose the defensive job Tolman brings. I would love a high impact defensive beast to replace Tolman but we don't have that.

Yeh the hip drop penalty has become a farce and it stated with the McInnes one early in the year. The classic hip drop is so obvious because the players use their own weight the drop down when tackling.

I can't remember the last time a player from any club actually got suspended for this type tackle. What makes it worse is that the bunker is making these calls after watching a few times.
