NRL 2026 NRL Pre-Season Challenge

It is good the trials are now shown live. The fans were a bit ahead of the NRL and the broadcasters. remember we used to have to find links for streams. Now they get more content which is key for media organisations and the sporting bodies wanting to get revenue.

Trials used to be often back and forth. As teams substitute their first graders for their reserve graders.

Now with it being more structured and Vegas added to the scheduling. We are likely to see some blowouts like last nights when a side headed to Vegas sends out a strong side against a side running out for their first trial with their development players.

Keen to see how our young guys stack up against those coming through at the other clubs.
 
Fantastic try from the tigers winger to keep his feet off the ground. Looks like there’s a lot of clubs with good young players coming through
 
Nope. Could be anything from a 5 minute cramp to a season-ending injury.
Limping lets you get right down to what's wrong. In. A. Flash.

I always take a player limping as a worse sign than a player rolling around on the ground screaming.
Obviously, that approach doesn't always match up to what the injury to the player ends up being...:)
 
The commentators talking about Galvin reminds me of Homer playing Poochie on the Simpsons. When he doesn't have the ball we must talk about Galvin or praise Galvin.

Voss said he's been sprightly guiding them around the field. The team is quite well drilled so the team is pretty much doing their job and Galvin is running behind them.

The last few years their plan was to pin teams down field with Burton's kicking. Burton pretty much only kicked if Galvin was tackled on the 5th tackle or was out of position and unable to kick.

They have had more happening around the halves in terms of organisation and plays now that O'Sullivan is on.
 
Imagine if he was a boxing commentator.

When you get hit clean it's not good when you're flat on your back looking at the lights.
Yep, Mr Alexander's observations are sometimes on the level of:

"Vossie, with Team A being behind here by 24 at 79 minutes, oh, gee...For moine, I think they just might miss out on the chocolates, here."
