It's only a game ...
Of those who've played NRL, I prefer De Luis ahead of Boyle.
Hopefully, the younger guys will get a run in NRL this year. Sione is fast for a front rower, and as we saw in the first trial, Alec is a powerful runner.

Interesting that you mention Tuitavaka. He was one of two forwards who really caught my eye (1st trial). Really impressed. Ran hard and was very difficult to stop each time. Defence looked pretty good also. He would not be out of place on our bench. The other forward who caught my eye (actually in both trials) was Sipley. Not sure what Sips has been eating in the off season but he's now got a super charged V8 under that bonnet. Strong runs that bent the line each time....and lots of them!! Will have a huge impact this year.

Tu'itavake looked very good in limited minutes in the first trial. I wonder why he didn’t play the second? Suggests to me he is down the pecking order. Maybe not a big engine?
Me to, thought he bent the line with his runs. Going of what Des said on Radio today, Walker out of rd 1, and Marty only an outside chance. He is well and truly in the frame for at least a bench spot.

He's just coming back from a long-term injury. I hope he's not too far down the pecking order because I agree that he seems ready to go, much like Haumole did for at least a season before he got his chance. But you never know with Des.
Let's hope that is true!!
Im going to try and focus on some positives as there will be plenty of negatives this week (most deserved bar a few outragous tantrums that will happen).
Olakau'atu is going to be a major problem in this league.....quality player.
Besides that......Walker had a bit of pep......I thought Paseka and Davey showed something when on.
Croker ran once.....lolz
We didnt let them run away to 50...guess I'm really grasping now

Meanwhile I have determined that Paseka roughly translates as ‘Momentum Killer’.

We can't man. That's like enabling an alcoholic. You can't throw roses at ****, then give the resulting heap to your missus.
This may be news.....but what we say on this forum doesn't effect the team performance.
Olakau'atu looked strong all night

JAKE!
He's the one I would starve and neglect (from the starting side) if I could after his last season or so.
I think Olakauatu is a great up and coming player, but he is a big problem defencively.
That edge defencive combo with dce/guac/harper was extremely problematic. Almost all the roosters points came from exploiting the lack of urgency and communication between those three.
Foran's edge on the other hand was working together and urgent.
Attack was a whole other issue, although I admit guac was strong with his runs at times. Still not involved enough to get any credit imo. Not many deserve credit to be fair. Foran did (defencively in particular), Walker did and Davey had a good return, running hard as always.

We got Vossy and Brandy last week.
Ola very strong and if he keeps this up will have a huge year.
