NRL trials talking points: Rookies star and big names bomb as focus narrows on halves More:
Granted it is just a trial, but the Tigers’ attack looked woeful at times and Marshall and Reynolds failed to ask any questions of the Warriors’ defensive line.
On the evidence we saw against the Sharks, Connor Watson is not the man to fill the Knights’ fullback spot, if Nathan Brown persists with Ponga at five-eighth. It might only be a trial, but the performances of new five-eighth Adam Keighran and Blake Green against the Tigers will give the Warriors confidence heading into round one.
On the back of his performance against the Panthers, Brown all-but cemented his place as the Eels’ starting five-eighth for Round 1 and has since been upgraded from a development contract to the top 30 squad.PANTHERS HAVE WORK TO DOThe Panthers haven’t had many changes to their playing roster for 2019, but they appeared underdone against the Eels on Saturday night. A near full-strength squad sunk to a 20-0 loss against the Eels.
The Kiwi international set up two of Alex Glenn’s three tries with crafty short balls at the line, and set up another to Richie Kennar with enthusiastic support play.
