Sounds like a decent game, couldn't make today.

How did smith perform?

pmsl

Thanks to everyone who kept us upto date!!






Don't really do friendlies, but the team will take great heart from this result.
It should keep our dear neighbours quiet for a bit, although they will be quick to remind us it was just a friendly I'm sure.
Probably the same ones who were bigging up their win over Shudds last week!!!
Well done Trin!!

Don't mention them otherwise we will be "obsessed".

Excellent result, poor attendance though- I saw on another thread that we had sold 5000 tickets, perhaps they are season tickets!

Hope we came through unscathed.

What a performance!

Destroyed cas bar the 2 trys at end. Could have had a couple more with luck.

All players looked fit and ready for SL.

I was incredibly surprised how unfit and poor some of the cas ranks were.

T.Smith gave rangi a master class, passing was very sharp indeed. John showed good touches.

Very accomplished all round really.

After losing 36-18 to KR they may want him back!!!!
Just short of 14,000 there, amazing attendence for a "friendly" Rovers I'm sure, took at least 20,000!!!

great performance today, crowd was more than 2200 though imo

I thought crowd looked bigger than 2,200.

Just in from the game, regardless of it being a friendly, you have to say with a completely new line up that was some performance. Combinations worked well, passing was crisp and quick, kicking game decent, backing up excellent and forwards drove it in well and made good yards. Dangerous out wide, half backs looked busy and interested, it all bodes well for the season ahead. Defence needs to tighten up a little I feel but on the whole I am very satisfied, was entertained and very much looking forward to rustling quite a few feathers. Washbrook given MOM, can't argue with that but honourable mentions to Aiton and Lauitiiti and young Trout caught my eye too. But really the whole team deserve a mention and that's the key for me, we looked like a team for the first time in a long time. Long may it continue.
