Second pre-season trial - Knights Vs Bulldogs - 6:00pm Saturday, 14th February - McDonald Jones Stadium

Being a trial game I’m not getting too disappointed yet.
2025s best defensive team against 2025s worst attacking team with a new halves pairing who have not played together before was always going to be a big ask.
Still mildly disappointed we didn’t score at least one try.
The Brown/Smith left/right debate can possibly be explained by Holbrook deciding Smith could fill Ponga left side running attack threat, but it was a bit of a fizzer.
Our forwards were quite good, but I thought Mooney should have been in the lineup to get his first grade minutes up.
We will need some big improvement in attack to match the Cows in Vegas.

Weirdest part is having guys on here who went to training across the summer and saw brown playing left and smith on right and to have the reversed yesterday. Can't understand why you'd do that and moreso persist with it into the second half

Rope-a-dope

So no one can plan for us before Vegas
 
It’s how many runs he makes while he is on that’s very impressive and that’s exactly what we need someone who isn’t afraid to keep running the ball

Nah it's all messed up, more than that.

I get it, our forwards suck and people want Mooney to be good (and he might be) but he's done very little today or in the first trial. He's started this half a bit better though.

I know it was only a trial, but FMD I haven't seen a team this consistently bad in a long long time.

For me it's the basic drop ball errors and simple catch and pass.

Saw the full time score during a horny date night with my wife. The pessimist in me thought here we go again! The optimist soothed me with “it’s only a trial” she’ll be alright. Then the realist in me prevailed and I honed in on getting laid.

But seriously, were we that bad? I’m watching the Vegas game in Byron on the annual boys Byron break and would hate to have the Knights deflate the weekend with a lop sided result vs the Cowgirls of all teams!!

Trey mooney is already an upgrade on Thompson.

Look people it might be a long year but 27 and 28 there is some serious elite talent coming through this club the likes we haven’t seen in decades. They’re all locked down too.

Couldn't agree more with this. The future looks bright.
