Official Match Day Trial Thread: Roosters v Raiders

[King Salvo]

I said he had a terrible game, not that he is a terrible player nor person. If honesty isn’t welcome here then please feel free to let me know.

You also said "It was our Bears team basically. Not much to see here"- obviously you have no idea about which sides these players play for - at least 10 of the squad are SG Ball/Jersey Flegg players in 2022 not NSW Cup.

Those players haven't played a competitive game since June 2021 and a few games in 2020-SG Ball-5 games and Jersey Flegg played only 1 game in 2020 before those comps were cancelled.

You can have an opinion but people can also have a opinion too including about your opinion. as after all you are not an expert - I would say it's the first time you have ever seen most of these SG Ball/Flegg players play.

Ref giving the Central Coast Roosters stick in the Andrew Johns cup - 2 Central Coast Roosters in the sin bin - from 14-6 up with 13 to 16-14 down with 11

You said you wouldn’t be sweating him too much after you watched him play 1 trial game.

Who writes a teenager off after 1 game?

why apologise? He was crap, Rooster 6 has always had a hardon for underperforming halfbacks that try really hard

You’ve always had a hard on for targeting teenagers online, it’s strange & concerning behaviour.

Side note, did the Dragons and Eels play with two pretty much full strength squads?

From the highlights package I saw a potentially serious knee injury and a handful of players on report for dangerous contact.

A mate who supports the dragons was cheering as if it was a massive game. Interesting seeing so much pre-season excitement when we basically let the Bears have a run with a few fringe Roosters.

Not close to full strength but definitely quite a few players who will be in the 17 come Round1 took part from both sides.

Also interesting to note I didnt realise Luca Moretti has joined the Eels.

Interesting! Pity to lose a junior but guessing he wasn't gonna crack out 1st grade squad to left for the opportunity?

Some of the reports are way over the top - Canberra sending a message to other NRL sides with that win etc- Raiders will be a strong top 8 contender though but they are jumping the gun that this win is a preview of how their season will pan out.

Agreed however I’m not sure they will be a strong top 8 side. I hope they are but I think fringe top 8 side at best.
