2024 Season General Discussion Thread

[Hail Sezer]

Few changes to side:

HSS starts left centre
Weaver starts at 5/8 (dunno if he'll actually play 7 role though)
Iszac Fa'a and Josiah starting props
Arama & Klese starting backrow
Stimson starts lock

- - - Updated - - -

Thing I'll be most interested in tonight:

-Josiah's impact on both sides of the ball
-HSS confidence and contact on D
-How Jaylan handles the physicality
-Tony Francis volume and quality of exit set carries
-Tommy's defensive game
-Arama's defensive game and effort areas on D, how he handles physicality at this stage
-Klese defensive game
-Ryan Foran's carry, and how he handles the physicality
-Oskar's D in the middle - unlikely to win the tackle so needs to be on the ball like a leech and playing his role to slow the ruck
-Caelys getting a taste at this level - still 18 and has only played about 3 age group games since arriving in Aus

Yes going to be entertaining can’t wait :-) surprised you don’t have a Joe Vuna special on your list.

[Hail Sezer]

Arama can be real mean

Not a bad thing

Ken Maumalo forgetting you jam when your centre jams. Basic stuff

[Titanic]

Not sure if I liked his leaning on the goal post in defence.

[lonegull]

Isaac has come on in leaps and bounds he looks fitter and work rate very high

[Hail Sezer]

Jeez Tom did well there

Good finish Tony

[lonegull]

Great to see the enthusiasm also by the titans and gee there fit

[Titanic]

Good try and agree IF looks much more motivated. Pahulu looks very good.

[Titansborn'n'bred]

How good is young Weaver playing. Very proud of our the whole team is standing up against NRL quality team right now. I expected a 50 point drumming and I know we’ll fade due to lack of experience but very impressed thus far

[Hail Sezer]

Jaylan will learn from that

[lonegull]

Josiah has NRL written all over him

[DIEHARD]

Damn got my times mixed up. (Timezones are confusing)

I'm tuning in now. Really excited to read the positive comments so far.

[Titanic]

lol@porpoises good try

lol@porpoises good try

Lots of strength and skill to put the ball down by Francis. And set up by De Groot.

I love the enthusiasm and spirit showed so far. And that is an important element for our growing youth policy and jostling for positions.

It may only be trial one, but there is a lot of interest to see the new gen come through. I hope we can be a fanbase who continues to not dismiss trials because of it.

Looks like a wonderful day out there. Would love to be in the stands.

[Hail Sezer]

The energy and enthusiasm on D is really noticeable IMO
