No doubt Solomona is a gem picked up by Cas'.
With the same service however TJ will also score a bucketful of tries in any season.
Additionally, he's a homegrown talent with lots more to come yet .

I will echo that, re Tom Johnstone and his injury.

I recall coming back from a broken ankle, and it took a couple of months really from coming back, and actually getting any kind of pace back.

A pre season behind him, and would like to think that come the start of 2017, he will be back to something like his best.

Also, it will be good to see the Ash Gibson back, I was talking to him the other day, he says he is now fit and raring to go for pre season. It will be like having a new player. Thought before his injury, he was starting to look ok, and a handful to opposing defences

I dont think that this is too much of an understatement but, without the progression of Tom & Max, we would have been unlikely to make the top 8.
Max was unlucky not to start the season at FB after an excellent pre season and he was instantly better than one of our "big" close season signings, BJB, in that position.
Well done to both lads and lets hope that they continue their excellent progress in the red, white & blue of Trinity.
Always 100% for the cause and no little amount of quality

Show me any fullback who doesn't!!

As has been said previously by others, if your fullback is having to make 1-on-1 tackles it is generally because someone else has missed a tackle elsewhere. I'm not saying he doesn't need to improve that particular skill, but he's by no means the only fullback in SL that has that issue. In our team it is probably highlighted more than in others as we have been pretty shocking defensively across the whole line.

God some people are a bit touchy. I'm shocked to say I actually side with Vastman this time, what's wrong with a little bit of constructive criticism? If you were to rate his first season in the first team you'd probably say 8/10, safe as houses under the high ball, good positioning and links up very well in attack. But over the off season could do to bulk up a little bit and get some work in at holding up defenders over the try line. This is a forum after all, not some cult where you can only lavish the players with praise.

You'll get barred calling folk cults.
Seriously tho, I think what people are saying. On a number of occasions Max has had a player running at him and not made the slightest attempt to tackle them. Maybe because of his shoulder? And he may not have stopped them anyway, just looks poor when it happens

Les Sheard is the best full back I have seen at Trinity followed by Harrold Box this lad has the potential to be the best

I think Max has had a great season . Safe as houses under high ball, links in well. He's a good un.

Sorry but Geoff wraith by a mile for me. Especially defensively

Andrew Leeds was brilliant not sure what year sorry

The curtailed season immediately prior to SL. Best FB I can remember at BV!

we,v had some good fullbacks,round,metcalf,gary cooper,spencer, I person
elly think Gerry round,he had everything,tackling,attack,goal kicking,

He's had a shoulder problem for a while but i think he has been very good this year and will only get better. He has the ability to go all the way i reckon.

Have to say my personal favourite defensive fullback was Geoff Wraith (until he defected to Cas). Not many players got past him. I once saw him run from one corner of his own try line, the full length of the line to make try-saving tackle on the opposite corner. Great stuff. My best attacking and kicking full back has to be Gary Cooper. Jowitt has the makings of an international full back'

I liked Colum Halpenny.
