NRL Pre-Season Trials Discussion

[Big Pete]

Does anyone know if there are more trials being streamed this weekend?

The only other trials I'm aware of was the Dolphins/Capras and Storm/Falcons.

I don't believe either was streamed.

I wonder if Laurie will throw his hat into the ring for the vacant #6? Both Cole and Schneider struggled to assert themselves, while Laurie's running game would compliment Cleary's style of play.

It was a rough audition for Cole and Schneider, Penrith had a mountain of possession and they couldn't do anything with it.

Canberra to their credit defended well but they weren't asked too many questions.

It just seemed like they relied heavily on the inside play to Kepaoa. I'd love to know the technical name of the attacking structure where the Penrith support runners play tight and extend. It was like an umbrella defensive structure but it's something you often see the Warriors utilise to put DWZ away.

They played for it over and over and only got the result after Canberra struck. Even then, Asomua should have had his man. Made the right choice but got his target zone all wrong and Fale was able to bump off and evade the scramble.

Laurie makes sense... provided he can hold up defensively. He can provide attacking spark for that left side, which is the primary role that Luai was doing.

Schneider continuing on from last year and wiping dollars off his next contract.

Haven't seen enough of Cole, but Panthers have big wraps on him, so I'm guessing he is first choice heading into the season??
