Have to agree.

To be fair, I don't think Brough is 100% yet. It was clearly a gamble playing him so soon.

As long as he doesn't get injured it's a opposed training session for him to blow the cobwebs off. Worth the risk.

Individually, I think Croft has done well for his debut. Clearly shown he is capable if/when called upon.

Hard luck lads. Was always mission impossible

If he can’t tackle yet, he shouldn’t have played. That first try pretty much set the afternoon up for Saints.

And now our dismal run in this competition continues.

My question isn’t about Brough being ready or Chester’s decision to play him when he clearly couldn’t tackle using his injured hand.

My question is that if a clearly undercooked and unfit Brough is still viewed as better than our other halfback options then why have we signed those players?

For the last 4 or 5 Trinity have desperately needed QUALITY halfback cover yet we continue to sign back rowers. If we want to kick on and challenge the latter stages of the competitions then we need to bite the bullet and pay the price for a top quality halfback.
Anything else is playing at it and giving lip service, nothing more!

Totally agree with you there avenger.


The only person on the field today that looked like creating anything was a bloke in his very late 30's and not fully fit. I think we are taking a massive risk if we are going to rely totally on him for one more season. Because other than Fifita its hard to think who will create anything.

It was obvious we'd probably get well beaten today. Already people are reading more into it than necessary.

Bulls would have beaten Saints today.

Good one.

Yes agree

I know Saints were the better side and deserved their win but watching it back on BBC it was a right Saints love fest from the pundits , sickly
