Focus on everyone is a leader and everyone has a voice

I think Dias is a worthy bench option. He has genuine leg speed and he takes it up willingly.
The real value in these trial games is to compare the respective contribution of fringe players
On what I have watched so far Dias has a better carry than
Twal (still running past the dummy half every hitup)
Seyfarth (just slow in general)
Joffa (not big enough for prop and cant move laterally on the edge)
Tuki Simpkins on the edge is interesting. He might be a good option there with his offload but think he needs to gain some fitness to play that role? Maybe that is an afterthought not Blore is out leaving us short on edge options?
Very bad effort from.our winger 22

Good analysis, I agree, Dias looks an option

Looks like both grade’s for WTs have a hell of a lot of work to do before the start of the season.
Notice the fowards are looking to pass to a 2nd forward runner - much more than last year where we did a lot of one out hit ups

Didn't even hear Kei's named called ....just me ??
This first trial has certainly dampened my enthusiasm for 2022 just a touch 😅

Last year's trial we smash Manly and we all get our hopes up. They make the 8 and we don't.
Hopefully the same equation works this year

It's clear the young guys have a long way to go - most of them were average tonight and not close to first grade. Everyone can have a bad game but Ogden had a shocker.
Tuki was lazy at the ruck which cost a try very similar to the Tommy T mistake at the end of the first half. I'm not sold on Madden, he looks a liability in defence and predictable in attack. Has a good kicking game. I'm keen to see Hasting, Peachy and Laurie together. I think Musgrove is a smokey for good game time, he looks in good trim and if he can handle his head he could be good for us.
I'm rational enough to understand 2022 is unlikely to be our year but there's always hope we can exceed expectation.
Sad to see a serious injury. Next week will be a better indication of where we are.
