Sky Sports report is little better!
They don't like their beloved Loiners beaten do they!

All the bias towards Leeds is expected.
Think Leeds should be more concerned with Faloons concusion, twice.
After Moores early exit, how did Howarth go?
Given the opportunity to get big minutes in.

Howarth ad a great game, his passing was excellent and his tackling was , as ever first class, he never lets down,

Just to echo what's been said,the fitness and defence was the most noticeable thing today,great effort,great win against a team full of young ones



onwards and upwards. Oh...and Town won as well,a great birthday so far.

Excellent performance against a strong Leeds team and superb to restrict the treble winners to just one try.
From a team that was conceding 40 points game to this, in such a short space of time is remarkable, even if it was
a nothing friendly.

Well done boys and onwards and upwards for 2016 !

Yes I thought he stepped up well.
He'll go ok if Moore is injured.

Leeds will clearly get better.
They need Sutcliffe back in the 6 shirt.
They missed the direction today.

If you watch the Leeds video it's all focused on Leeds play if course but it shows the improved line speed. It doesn't look anything like the team from last year.

Finn and Miller looked good.
Tansey was much better at fullback..... But is unlikely to unseat BJB.

Tupou and Simon will add a lot to the team.

I'm quite looking forward to the season while still being sensible about expectations.

Apparently Smith is beasting them every day at 6.30 and then working skills after breakfast together.
It's clearly working.

Still some issues with outside defenders coming up and in but as you say, much much better

I thought the attitude from the players in defence was great

England impressed me certainly looked nasty and had a bit in him without letting his discipline go

Anderson and scruton were themselves and thought Arona caused them problems in the line with his carries and getting his hands free

Finns kicking game was great his marshalling also

Back 3 of BJB & Johnstone in particular has pace to burn

I was pleased

As smith says one step at a time and let's not kid ourselves at the end of last season were for me considerably far off the rest of SL - but I'm not complaining

What smith does seem to be doing is building a very good spirit with the lads - Kirmond at the final whistle ran 50 yds to high five Aronas kids and get them over to where the trophy was been lifted.

Class

I'm absolutely sure that the lack of effort will be a thing of the past. B S will demand a new culture at the club and players that buy in to it will be rewarded with a first team place and a personal development . B S s the best thing to happen At Trinity for a long long time.
