Have to be realistic. It was their first trial and our second. Closer to our top side than their.
In saying that under Kearney I can't remember if we lost to a 2nd-3rd string Storm side. But the reasoning after the game was how further they were in their development. Our depth players looked up to it today.
You can only play who is in front of you. Our guys made their tackles, worked to their structure and made their metres. The Storm score off kicks which is good for our defence.
Trials lose structure in the second half as the positions change. Overall our younger guys looked less nervous this week for the run last week.
