Ok, it wasn’t the result we had hoped for, but how much should we take away from last night’s trial match?
This edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast was recorded immediately after a Wests Tigers team filled mostly with youngsters and fringe NRL players suffered a heavy loss to the Warriors.
Eddie Otto jumps into the host’s seat and is joined by Garry Watson and Declan McCutcheon for a discussion over the good, the bad, and the ugly from the trial.
Some of the key talking points include the side’s defense. Is conceding 48 points a worry at this stage?
Which players took the most from the pre-season opportunity? Which players were disappointing?
There were a few guys in the trial side last night that most likely will be in the Top 17 for our round one clash, including Stefano Utoikamanu and Fonua Pole.
But what about the performances of guys trying to claim a spot, including Tommy Talau, Charlie Staines, Asu Kepaoa, and Justin Matamua?
And what do we want to see when the more NRL standard version of the team takes the field next weekend for the side’s second and final 2023 pre-season trial?
There’s plenty to discuss out of the Warriors game, we hope you enjoy our analysis.
