Quite looking forward to this tonight! Will be great to see how Ponga, Gagai, Leo and Lucas are looking.

 

[Billy]

I wonder why Ron Jefferies is giving Evah McEwen so little game time?

 

[jamesgould]

Amazing try-saving defence by Ponga, but be careful for heaven's sake!!!

Ennis is so annoying "Based off off last nights trial, boy do they need him, they were touched up without him" [KP]. Shocker.

Yeah not even a knights game and still has to find a oppurtunity to bag us.

Kalyn playing A LOT like he’s basically trained at five-eighth in attack all off-season…

Ennis’ empty vessel comments?
It’s as easy as turning to Channel 9 and listening to people just commenting the game.

 

[jamesgould]

Not the most thrilling match so far.

 

[Sheent14]

Lucas is a workhorse.

 

[Mclovin]

Definitely a trial game for a lot of these players, Kayln is looking good without overplaying his hand

He never got Danny Beds out of his head.
And to make matters worse, Ennis suffers from little man syndrome, so has to big note himself at every opportunity.

I wish they’d use him as a fullback not a halfback.

 

[krustykraz]

Pongas kicking game looking good.
Playing a lot of first receiver.
Dylan Lucas developing very nicely.

Leo a bit quiet, try to ball play too much. Just run hard.

 

[Sheent14]

Lucas' footwork/swerve is elite.

 

[Billy]

I keep forgetting which side I'm going for - the one with the ball I think?

 

[Chaister]

I think Ponga’s gone off - not injured I hope?

I'm hearing a double ACL - both knees gone!

Yeah, don’t you know? Parras reserve grade side flogged our reserve grade side. World = over. Life is pointless.
