Trial Match - Sharks v Panthers Sunday 20th February 2022

[bort]

Was interested to see how Lachie Miller went.

Wondered about him also given training in halves and fullback could have found a jersey for him easy enough.
Potentially means Fitz pretty comfortable with where he is at and what he can do…. or no faith at all…

 

[snowman]

He wasn't running like that later in the year.

you didnt give specifics, so you are wrong

if you look at the backline, the only spot he could potentially take is kade dykes, and even then i wouldnt be so sure

Cool, if that makes you feel good.

Are you implying he isn’t good enough to make that side?
That sounds like wasted top 30 spot and money then. Hopefully not the case.

He could play 1, or halves with Trindall based on where he has been training at.
Even 14 to come on for someone in spine.

 

[Sparkles]

Has anyone started on the pre-game beers yet?

I'm going to try to hold off until Sunday.

Start on the0%'ers. It's a big downer to help balance your football upper

Might surprise us and get a bench spot in the 2nd trial. Would feel weird if he didn't get a run at all

Miller is closer than you think

I'm all spooked out now.

 

[Born&bred]

Has consumption increased since retirement?

Not really. I treat week days the same as work days and don't start till late afternoon, so not much change on that front.

If anything, breaking my ankle late November has slowed me down.

Interest to watch stonestreet play at the top level another year or 2 on the weights could be the new Luke Lewis.

Don’t

Yeah it’ll do that

Far from it, he has been sent to newtown a few times to train with them

Well that’s a really bad sign, given he is already a professional athlete (fitness should be there enough except maybe the real long stuff) and can catch and pass and tackle.
You’d have to be pretty atrocious to be sent away. Guess that fits with not making this side.

Is he missing gameplay sessions for more fitness or vice versa, or something?

Doesn't surprise me about Miller. He's been playing 7's Roogbeh Dont think we'll se him this year if at all.

And somehow you're pleased about it but you're not sure why?

I'm not pleased about it but lets be honest here, he's not going to be up to defensive systems of the NRL in one off season. I hlpe he comes good but I'm not surprised that he's not in the mix either.

It was just a lobotomy joke. Poor taste I know.
