Gameday Witzer Pre-Season challenge Dolphins vs Warriors

[Boats n Hoes]

our youngin’s are better than there youngins!

Maybe not

Nah just pre season mix n match. Peeps read waay too much on these trial games

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

Not much to take away from the second half except some of the younger guys need more work on D. Some good signs there on attack as that was a problem last year. Bring on the Roosters in 2 weeks!

Worrying over the last 20 minutes when we brought everyone off and gave the kids a crack is really not productive. We got what we wanted out of this, more than the Phins IMO. That short passing game that we've got going is starting to look good. Young forwards look hungry. TB looks like he's getting some confidence back.

Looked a bit better than last week.

I liked the hard running and offloads in the first half. The passing is still a bit off.

It will be interesting to see if Clark's passing lasts the season.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Because its a trial...

So my question still stands? Ffs lol. He didn't have to load the fucking team with all young guys at the end. He could of spread their time on field at different times during the whole game. After all, Pre season or not. The aim of the game is to win is it not?

 

[Playdaball]

I was fairly pleased with that performance .
I don’t take too much into account when the young guys came on .
One thing is clear , don’t put $$ on the nsw cup team to win the comp this year.
Defensive issues out wide for us .
I hope CHT is okay for round 1 as Hanson didn’t really impress .

 

[Dannevegas]

Another L, but a good watch at least. Need to work on winning the ruck, and defence is shocking atm

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Because it’s a trial and means nothing….

Oh, I get it now. Just there to participate and not win. My bad.

 

[Playdaball]

The aim of the game is to win is it not?

No , not in a trial

It is not

 

[snake77]

It was funny at the start with the Dolphins player getting put on his backside.

When Laban did it I started laughing. My young fella asked why. "Well that is the third time now".

He started paying attention hoping it would happen again.

 

[WAH MAN]

Technically yes. Long term not necessarily.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

It is not

What is it then?

 

[skinnydippng]

i'm not concerned..
no Metcalf, CHT, JFH, RTS, AKP, TMM, Berry, Vaimauga, Barnett, Niukore (and 6 of those should be available round 1 at least) think we did well!

 

[snake77]

Hopefully we don't see the unforced errors come round 1.

Things like DWZ over running the pass and dropping the ball inside our 20.

Or Boyd dropping the ball early in the count after a set restart. If you get a set restart you should be playing out the extra set to load up the opposition.

 

[WAH MAN]

What is it then?

All this attention and yet you seem to not have the various points of pre season trials. Remember when we scorched Melbourne in last year's trial. It went on to mean nothing for the season. There are so many variables in play bro. The loss is not fun but the run is good. The exposure to travel and play.

 

[Po11um]

Defense drills Monday morning. Forward pack good.

I wouldn't say that is the aim at all. Not sure why this continually has to be said but it's just a trial, it means nothing. Obviously there will be goals for each player but the main thing would be not getting injured, having a hit out against different opposition from the team and getting match fitness.

 

[Blain]

Some super soft first contact in periods throughout the game, especially on the backs. Too many unforced errors and soft D to get excited about much. Some of the passing in the forwards was decent. Gannon looked a lot better ball in hand, he's a 13 and offers good variety to Clark.

Mellars looks not quite there, which is fine as a young 4th in line winger. Leka running out with the kids is confusing, do they see him as a lower minute impact player or something? He hardly touched the ball. But neither did the team in the last 15 minutes really.

Thought it was a great preseason game ... got a few glimpses from the 1st graders about what they intend to do... There were a few shinning lights ... Hansen, I felt did well, so did Jack Thomson.. soon as the 1st graders went off they struggled... wonder why? Ford still needs to sort out his costly stupidity... Tanner Stowers took on the alpha prop and did well.. overall I think were in a good spot...
