NRL Pre -Season Trials Week 3

[Harry Sack]

**** Penrith. Trent Toelau will be one to keep an eye on. Will be interesting to see who partners Cleary long term. I assume Schneider will have the job for the first few rounds but will have Toelau and Talagi nipping at his heels.

Also lol@Manly

The new FB for Eels looks decent.

Toelau was super impressive. The Panthers number 18 was a crack up, not sure there is too much going on between the ears.

I would assume Talagi will be their 6, they paid a bit for him.

Brent Naden eh

 

[Fozz]

Stretcher bearer slowly ambling out

 

[I bleed Maroon]

All these bad injuries have got me nervous

 

[Sproj]

Concerning for Naden.

 

[Brocko]

Is Doueihi going to play centres when Luai is in? Or Utility?

With Naden injury maybe it is centres.

I think it would have to be centre tbh.

 

[Fozz]

Doueihi has to play somewhere, guy is a natural footballer.

Yeah, it's a massive shame the amount of football he's missed.

 

[Dexter]

Wonder if the Parra faithful have worked out they payed way too much for Lomax yet.

 

[1910]

Hope! Big Pete

Parra have given away two penalties now for taking too long to set their scrum, and Brandy or Vossy suggested they might be doing it to reset their line.

If so that could be a sneaky little trend that comes into the game.

They've given them away when inside their own 20m... so you remove the risk of conceding a try when there are less defenders and more room for attacking plays. The result was a penalty tap in the middle of the field... I don't know if they're able to take a shot at goal off the back of that penalty (scrums are weird with differential penalties and stuff), but if you can't take a shot at goal then you're stuck with the tap and every team is just taking a settler on a tap in the middle of the field and they're basically losing a tackle to do anything compared to what they could do off a scrum.

If teams can take a shot at goal then you're potentially not getting much of a benefit, because teams can go ahead by more points if you just keep giving away penalties inside your 20m.

It could become situational though... if the team getting the penalty is behind and time is running out, they're not taking a shot at goal even if they could... and because teams are never winning against the scrum... you're potentially getting an advantage from conceding the penalty and a tap midfield.

Jason Ryles hair is slowly going to do a Gould but over the course of the season instead of overnight.

Skelton...Oooof

Just make a player from the team that didn’t set the scrum have to sit out for the set after the penalty lol

Professional foul and the captain goes for 10.

Until the Panthers do it and then it's a foul on the other team and the fullback is binned.
