He did in that second half and it was a pretty solid performance from
all 3 trinity lads.

Close fought games like that are good for our players development. They’ll have got something out of today for sure.

I feel we will probably see Lawford again come Swinton, Dewsbury or Haven.

Law was given a tough time by Sau first half for sure, but fair play to him he stuck to his task well, was helped in the second half by the back row (12) moving out wider to add extra cover. Ran a lovely line and burst onto a short pass for his try
Lawford, I thought, in the first half when Keighley went in front, got frustrated at times, was worrying seeing him head for the sidelines holding his arm but thankfully it appears to have just been a stinger which he shook off and stayed on, had a better 2nd half, backed a break up well and made good meters, put in a beautiful diagonal kick for the last try.
Shaw got through a lot of tackles, and did his fair share of carries, didn't really make that many meters, but he took a lot of his carries from out of the 20m and into a very aggressive Keighley defence against much bigger and more experienced opponents.
Thoroughly enjoyable game to watch

Aside from us being at the top, this is turning out to be an unpredictable league. Hardly the weakest championship at all.

It's unpredictable because there isn't much between most of the teams apart from Wakefield. For the last 10 years are so there have been several tiers - usually 1-2 teams that dominate, then the next 3-4 that are a lot better than the rest. But there's only 1 good team in the league this year and that's why it's the weakest Championship overall for a long time.

That's how I see it.The standard at the top has dropped drastically. That's why we shouldn't get carried away and start thinking some of these players are better than they are.

Hull FC have sent Franklin Pele and Davy Litten on loan to York initially for two weeks.

What's the betting that Pele gets sent off or banned even on loan?

I can't speyk

Viva Cas Vegas!

I struggle to see where Toulouse will have made improvements to score above what they did previously.

Matt Shaw, who seems to have had a real deep dive into it all, seems to think the last spot in the 12 is very close between Toulouse and Cas. He had Cas fans up in arms on social media the other week.

Interesting that nobody is talking about Leigh though, they were 12th on the initial scoring, scoring 12.45 and again, I struggle to see against the criteria where the improvement comes from? They instantly lose a point that was given for winning the cup, unless for whatever reason that wasn`t factored in?

Imagine the kerfuffle with Degsy if Leigh are considered for the drop. It will be biblical.

They have just got their academy licence plus, their cup final win last season.
Also, thier attendances have been pretty good.

I've thought the same about Leigh, I know Beaumont does a great deal of talking but as far as factual improvements I don't know of any, maybe apart from finances I've heard him mention but I'm not sure how that works, ie loans, gifts, because Ellis could and probably has stuck loads of money in and for effect could stick what he wants into the club.

Same as Toulouse, they are more than likely going to finish mid-table this season, unless they suddenly change things. But how & where are they going to make those small improvements that'll get them more points and into SL. I haven't heard of any, in fact, the opposite. The way I read that article in TRL, it almost seems that they think the number they got from IMG last time is going to be still competitive. Who knows.
