WT trial V Dragons 2024

Listening to the preview podcast I was struck by Eddy’s excellent point (against Garry and Steve and their fantasies about finishing mid table) that 8 wins this season would be a 100% improvement on 2022-2023. 

Tonight shows us how far we’ve got to go. That was a poor effort. We remain a team that other teams can boss around. The Dragons got a whiff of our lack of intensity and they were away. 

Galvin was the obvious bright spot. But he’s as green as our coaching staff. Bula is a great talent. Api tried too hard. The defence was soft and the attack was mostly uninspiring. Off season worries about Olam’s fitness seem well founded. And while we’re at it, Papalii stunk, as did Toa and Kepoa. I don’t think any of them deserve a first grade spot for Round  2 on tonight’s showing.

This side is not finishing higher than 14th, and that might be optimistic. And yes, I hereby acknowledge it was just a trial.

Any ‘One Word’ contributions for the pod tomorrow night?

 

Lacking. Lacking any spark in both attack and defence. The only real upside tonight was Galvin.

well it is clear it was not all L Brooks... 

Pathetic performance

Galvin is a shining light, Seyfarth may have played himself out of top 17 Rd 2 and likewise Sullivan

Sezer played ok, think we need to go with sezer and Galvin Rd 2

could be a long year

I was wrong with suggesting Seyfarth to 13 for round 2 against raiders

to be fair with tonight's performance it is all about the cattle you have around you.

Sezer played well with the players he had around him, and a player like Brooks will look like Brett Kenny in that manly side with turbo and dce

we just don't have many first grade players, bula sezer api 

hope latu fainu can show something along with Galvin

My word is Excited ........ I'm excited for the bye.

Very disappointed that we didn't look like anything had changed at all from last year.

Here we go again.
