You know if Trindall actually kicked on or if we actually get to see him play 7 we would know whether we even need to look for another option, but the last 10 mins on the field in some random ass roving position will do, it’s doing wonders.. I get he doesn’t want to hurt the kid by “dropping” him but I don’t think it’s doing any favours for anyone

agree it's not helping Trindall and it isn't helping our team but for some reason the coach seems to think it is. Fitz isn't a fool surely he has seen that Trindall hasn't performed that well. He is either backing him to come good and do good things in his 10 mins per game or he is seriously concerned about Moylans hammys or another injury in the spine or backline.

This still doesn't make sense as we have had only 1 injury in a key position during a game and that was Kennedy the other week which put Hynes at fullback. And this is where it really falls down cause if he comes on to cover an injury how well is he actually going to cover it performance wise compared to an alternative player shuffle without the wasted bench spot?

In the pre-season I was happy to go with Trindall and give him the chance as a starting half but cameo minutes or not I just don't think he is up to FG at present. He's a sloppy player with a tonne of things to work on, some of it mental but ALOT of it execution wise

let him play cup 80 mins a week and get himself together then reaccess

I agree re Trindall Chad but dont forget we need to cover for HIAs (not just injuries). This dramatically increases the requirement of needing coverage.

I think Sifa did murder DWZ last year (which may be why you specified him) so I think DWZ will be staying well clear of anything as wide as it is tall
Sifa had some huge hits last year. I recall he seyafingsmashed a bulldogs player in their 20 with a legitimate hit & got 4 weeks for it. Penalty to Bulldogs , pressure released 18-12 to Bulldogs - BS!

Yeah that was charged as a shoulder charge I believe, which I still don't think it was technically.

Really threw off his season too

Had a great game. The commentators made a deal out of a lazy attempt to drag in a stray ball but it's probably something he does 20 times a day at training.
I don't think it was that lazy.
He did a similar move close to our line later in the game that worked and probably changed the course of the game.

Credit where credit is due.
Ive been a massive Moylan detractor this year, but he really stood up tonight when yhe team needed him and helped control our attack

Unless the pen is worth 800k!

I'm sure a few old Melbourne players have some expensive pens in their drawers!
