OWB Braydon Trindall

[HaroldBishop]

Feel we'd be better approaching Brodie Croft - now at Salford, who will undoubtedly have an NRL clause in his contract.
Get him back here in the NRL as our backup.
He'd snap our hand off at a chance to get back @ NRL level again

Pass

 

[Gumby]

God no

 

[Thresher Shark]

Poor man's Ash Taylor

Poor man's Ash Taylor

Wow thats the best comparison yet and really highlights how $hit Trindall is

 

[bort]

Any decent up and coming half should be eyes us off

Only two halves in the squad and one has dodgy legs. Seems like a great destination to play some NRL.

Great opportunity for someone like a Metcalf type

 

[Proud Shark]

Struggling without consistent game time. Needs to play ressies week in/out once Kennedy is back to build some confidence.

He showed enough promise last year to be in consideration for first grade at the start of the year, but has regressed on those performances.

Should have grabbed Volkman

 

[puma1355]

Trindall has nothing.

 

[BrickMan]

Seemed we changed our game plan in the second half to make sure he didn’t touch the ball.
The show and go just needs to stop, Raiders expected him to do that more than pass

My son would leave the Crusaders rugby academy in a heart beat to join the Sharks

I thought we steered towards Nicho most of the time too mate. I get why, but I'd hoped pre-game that Fitz would try and let Trindall play his game and see what he was like as a true starting 7. We didn't though. Not sure if it would have made any difference but would have been interesting to see

 

[beaver2233]

He made some pretty important and solid tackles when he came on.

Yep. I thought he played well. Did everything asked of him.

 

[MMsharks]

tackling great
17/17
fantastic...yeah
want some spark tho, hands on ball, a couple of times there in attack we lost it, got stifled and had nothing

Yeah, that is what I am basing my critique on. He was solid id D, but felt like he looked like his old self in attack.

 

[Thresher Shark]

He came on and did what we needed re the circumstance of the game. I've been critical of late that he's tried the hero play in situations where it wasn't required, me assuming that he wanted to impress the coach.
Tonight he tackled well and played safe with the ball. Exactly what we needed.

He didn’t go for big plays like some other rounds which was better, did not pass inside attacking 10 again
But probably his best bench effort this season

 

[CrazyMatt]

He wasnt bad today, did his job, but his spot is under severe threat from Miller.

 

[Gards]

made a cracking low tackle on our line within minutes of coming on the field

tidied up a kick

didn't **** up, decent game but still not stating a signifcant case for him being a 14 . do that a few weeks in a row and I might reconsider

I spose if we can afford to play a bench forward like Fifita for just 18 minutes there is prob a case for a utility or injury backup over another forward

having said that Rudolf was played for 64 mins which is more than usual for him but prob deserves it, looks fitter this year without the fade away he had under Morris/Hannay

He tackled just like any other guy would of done. He is lost in attack.
