Magoulios! All him. His defense in the middle is garbage.

Oh wow
Didn’t do much in trials offensively but I thought he did some good tackles and looked to have some potential.

Hard to see him getting a run past Nikora (not that I rate him), Talakai, Wilton I guess

Yeah surprised Carr has left us, not that I think he was a chance to get any games any time soon but he went through alot of rehab and a pre season with us.

Dragons might have been an easier path to first grade. It is the Dragons after all.

No I feel the same. The mistakes made in the second half are fixable, my concern about Kennedy has always been toughness in D, and aggression in attack. Last year he looked hesitant to put his body on the line, and in attack he looked very good, but not ruthless enough. Both are a mindset IMO. I saw enough last night to suggest he’s on track now. And he seems to have caught the bug from Katoa and Rinaldo regarding passion and desire.

He’ll figure out the high ball stuff. He’s got incredible hands so it shouldn’t be a problem.

I think fear to commit to a high ball or challenge for contested kicks/put his body on the line were big issues of his last season and early indication is perhaps not too much improvement.
Does look like he runs the ball back with a bit more force though.
Still a work in progress but attack was good enough to get 2 votes off me.

Remember it was a howling gale yesterday.
I think if Ronny wasn't in the vicinity he might not have balked at that shocka in particular.
No doubt it will be brought up in the game debrief.

Don't think he got blown out of the attempt. I'd rather him try but spill it than let it bounce.

It's always fullbacks ball, Ronnie rightly pulled out. Kennedy should have known he would.

He did charge across the offensive line to collect an attacking kick near our line at one point that looked like a guy with a singular focus.

I like the new intent in his kick returns. At least he's working on deficiencies in his game. I'm not seeing he's ready for that kind of game yet though. Looking at him after that heavy contact, it feels like he'll end up injured before he's mastered it. I'm hoping not though. Longer term we probably need to find him a Mansour, Latrell style.

I think someone mentioned this earlier - Lorenzo Mulitalo played for Hills Bulls in the RM Cup on the weekend.

Also - Damon Smith is named for Blacktown in RM Cup

So from the players identified training in the off season the only ones yet to appear are Tevaga and Ieriko
