Trials discussion

Anyone watching the World Club Challenge? St Helens playing well so far!

One of those St Helens back rowers goes okay, wonder how he’d feel about playing for Newy…

I'd take him back, could definitely use him this year.
I don't think he'd want to play under O'Brien though.

 

[Sarge]

Best thing he ever did heading over there , I think he has improved , now used to a winning culture.Wouldn't have experienced that here

It's been said on here before, but Stephen Crichton is massively overrated.

Not much of a fullback.
Unlucky Dogs.

I also think Luai is very overated.
He can do some magical things but for most of the game he doesn't do much.

Get the feeling Penrith will snatch this ...

 

[krustykraz]

Can St Helens win the $100k?

 

[jamesgould]

Wow, Sione smashes Cleary and gets the turnover!

 

[krustykraz]

Sione on Clearly was great to see.
He has played better in this game than any of our left edge back rowers over the last 2 years.

Klein pulling a field goal blockers penalty out of the bag for the first time in the history of the sport lol

 

[frankLauda]

Yes! Extra time!

 

[jamesgould]

Gosh, what a game!!! Really well deserved by St Helens, amazing effort to come to Penrith and take it out.

 

[krustykraz]

Good to see Crichton lose the game.

St Helens would wipe the floor with us. I don't think the English game is as far behind the NRL as some make out.

 

[frankLauda]

I think that ST Helens try disallowed also. Didn’t look like a forward pass. It’s good for the International game. The Poms played great in the World Cup. Unlucky not to make the final.

Panthers without their monster back towers looked unsure

It definitely is, St Helens is miles ahead of the competition over there. Give us a game against, say, Hull (either of them) and we’d belt the bajeezus out of them.

Meant to say, you could see how fired up St Helens were before the game with the dressing room footage. Wish the Knights would get a bit of that passion.

Well if they’re motivated by people in the media doubting them, like St Helens clearly were last night, the Knights have never been given more ammunition than they have over this pre-season…

 

[Defence wins games]

Watching these trials has confirmed for me just how far behind we are as a club....every other teams juniors have actually looked good and are happy to move the ball around.

Ours looked like our first grade team, lost and afraid to use the ball

And we call this approach “bone-headed football”.

Tigers looking defensively sound .... Amazing what a decent coach can do in an off season.
