Quote PopTart="PopTart"I'm not saying we can't beat them.
But when we don't beat them my world doesn't collapse like some.
They are the three hardest games and we are down on our key players.
All I'm asking is for people to give the team a chance to get it right rather than sacking everyone because we lost to Saints away.'"
The problem is that, it's not the defeat against Saints, it's the mickey poor 2 seasons that have preceded it.
We've gone from a top 5/6 side and become a side whose ambition is to not finish bottom.
Last day "escape" in 2019 and 2nd bottom in 2020, albeit that Toronto pressed the eject button early doors and then 4 poor results to open up this season.
Granted, we have played 3 decent sides in those 4 games but, how we lost to a Leeds reserve side and then crumbled like a pack of cheap biscuits in the other 3 should have alarm bells ringing for all of us.
We appeared to turn a corner towards the end of last season but, our attacking play has been the worst that its been for over 5 years.
We either need Johnstone to work a miracle or "give it to Dave" and frankly, it's a long, long way from good enough.
Our fete wont be determined by losing to Saints, Wigan and Catalan, the results, if not the manner of them, were no surprise but, there are very, very few signs that we could turn it around.
We look like a side that didn't have a pre season, playing against well drilled opposition.
Usually, Trinity would have 4/5 trial games before each new season, this time, for obvious reasons, we had only 1 and we look underdone, especially with ball in hand.
Hopefully things will improve. Our defence has been excellent in patches but, we cant keep on chucking the towel in when there is a score against us.
