Just checked the NRL website and also the Titan's website to check trial teams and dates and they have us playing the Warriors in NZ and the Eels in Alice Springs both on 13th on both websites?? Now I am confused.

How good was Paasi. We've found ourselves a cult hero. Lets hope he gets plenty of playing time this season.
The boys played well much batter than i thought they would, Puts a glimmer of hope on the season, as long as they can all stay fit and injury free we should do ok.
As for the 9s, still not a fan i find it pretty boring to be honest, each to there own.
yeah we are splitting into two groups to play trials. otherwise you get 28 -30 blokes trying to get game time and it doesn't give anyone much time to show anything or work on stuff.
Can anyone tell me why Shannon Walker didn't get any game time please.
Given that he has a lot of 7's expereince, is one of the fastest guys going around and that he has nothing to lose risking his hamstrings playing 9's, why didn't he get a chance to try and show his stuff?
To be honest, A.Don looked very slow and lanky out there, I thought we could have done with some extra strike power out wide.
I'm not totally disappointed with the end result but I did feel we needed some extra speed on the other wing,
Was content with that result. After 1st game yesterday, to think we would make the semis was laughable.
As i said yesterday, after a long offseason and a tough couple of years, i was just hoping for some positive signs and there was plenty.
Beside the brilliance, i was also really impressed with how fit Paasi looked. Played plenty of minutes for a big man and looked great. Actually all of our squad looked fit and sharp.
A forward pack of Bird, Mcqueen, Paasi, Douglas, Friend, Shillington with bench of James, Pettybourne, Burr (?) and Moseley looks more than solid.
Still lacking some real class out wide but there was some encouraging signs this weekend.
hamstring strain from first game. if its a bit of a strain / tight i think its fair to leave him out rather than risk it on a gimmicky weekend. I want to win, but its not worth losing a player for months over.
And i imagine he has plenty to lose if he tore it playing on. I don't think he could have won a contract playing well this weekend, but if he did his hammy he could certainly have lost the chance to earn one in the next few trials.

i think we saw there is class coming through, and as for Burr...noooo. it would be Zeb Taia or Peteru by a mile over Burr
if you have a vpn you can point to servers in Japan or the Netherlands and watch the whole thing ... great free short cut to every NRL match live and stored especially for those abroad.
And teke's right, GL will serve us better as a centre, in fact if you consider those young blokes then if Henry has some options there over Zillman. As for Mortimer, gee, I just don't get it.

Just watched replays of our games and one bloke who did impress and done the hard yards was Peteru, rewatching the games I didn't relause how much work he got through and made some good ground and looks to have added an offload to his game
yeah i want Peteru on the bench or if not he's 18th man. He's only a bit of fitness and confidence from breaking out like paasi i swear. Maybe not with leaping catches, try assists and drop kick conversions... but becoming a genuine metre eating prop that the whole NRL will go ' where did THIS guy come from', and all of a sudden we have a new James Tamou.
He makes good ground after contact, gets his arms free and wriggles extra metres.
