[mitch222]

With Slater not being fit for the first few rounds, I wonder if the Storm will stick Munster at fullback and play Croft

[Broncoman]

Is the Dragons V Souths game being televised as usual?

 

[Accept]

Is the Dragons V Souths game being televised as usual?

Yes, yes it is.

 

[Big Pete]

A lot of games are being streamed live as well, so if you want to see how teams are traveling most of them will have a stream up on their website.

Keen to check out the Tigers/Cowboys game tomorrow night.

 

[Rico]

Thanks for the wrap up Pete. I'd be interested in anyone's thoughts...appreciate its a trial but most teams put out what they think will be their best team in round 1 in the final trial.

On that basis I can't see souths, manly, bulldogs, parramatta being strong come the first few rounds along with the usual suspects .....tigers and dragons etc

Cowboys and Tigers game is about to start

 

[Big Pete]

12 all at HT, Cows with a soft try right before the break.

There were a lot of penalties in that first half so neither team really had to get into the grind in order to get a shot at the opposition line.

In a lot of ways, both teams scored very similar tries. The opening try to Michael Morgan was another example of his wonderful combination with JT. Shades of Bowen/JT from years back with JT kicking in right behind the line and Morgan timing his chase to perfection.

It looked like the Cows would extend their lead after a nice spread down their right hand side, but Matt McIlwrick came up with a great try-saver on O'Neil to force the ball loose. That allowed the Tigers to get into it and after multiple repeat sets it eentually took it's toll on the Cowboys. A simple kick to the corner set it up for Nofoaluma to take on Linnett, he was able to bat the ball back and it eventually found it's way into a Tigers hand for them to score. Both tries off of skill plays.

Then the second were just pure fatigue from the defence. Aloai took the line on, found himself up against Lachlan Coote who he was able to shrug off and score. Then in the dying seconds, Hampton takes on Seumanufagai and Sue, beats them easily and scores a very soft response.

Given the list of outs, I'm surprised the Cows aren't leading by more. If this was an NRL game, Green wouldn't be happy with their completion rate and their ruck defence. However, they're still looking as composed as ever and as long as they have JT, they just never seemed to be lost. Wests are clearly missing Ballin, Moses and Brooks and look a little out of ideas. If it isn't coming off of Woods' second phase play, there isn't a lot happening.

 

[BroncosAlways]

Of course one of my few players in this game gets injured in the first 10 minutes.

Solid.

Who?

Winterstein, ankle injury.

FTR I just checked your squad to find a player to give you a scare, but turns out we both have the same dilemma

[Big Pete]

North Queensland win 18-16.

Tigers led 16-12 with only minutes remaining before Heleta proceeded to throw the ball away on a 20m restart. Cows took full advantage and Linnett scored in the corner.
