| Quote: Eastern Wildcat "It was a well fought game, and did very well to come back with the points.
Catalans certainly showed up and made us work for it.
Again too many penalties, but more worryingly, most, seemed by the same player. It could be trying too hard, or trying to settle a few scores.
He was our signing of intent, but not convinced yet. I said at the time I would rather see Batch, Jordy or Annakin more game time, and at the moment I feel the same. Early days yet to be binned off as Chris Chesters worse signing as someone put earlier, only time will tell.
Hope it does work out as I don't like negativity as it can cause friction in camp, and we are trying to build a stable group. The frustrating thing for all concerned should it not work, there is a quota spot here at stake.'"
He's had one bad game. Get a grip.

Agreed, but it was a real hum dinger stinker and could have cost us a very tight game. I expected a reduced penalty count with Kirmond taking a rest.

| only real negative i see at the minute is how short our goal line drop outs are, i dont remember Grix taking them last season, but some on saturday seemed to be falling short of our 40m line putting us under instant pressure, think that needs sorting quicky the rest will come as the season progresses and the weather improves,

A bit of variation in the kick offs would be nice as well.

| Like I also said Jakey, he may well have been trying too hard, or trying to settle a few scores with some ex team mates, it happens.
Just not quite seeing the signing of intent yet, but like with other overseas signings, sometimes it takes a few games to fully settle in.
And just for the record it wasn't me who said he was our worst signing under Chester, it was a comment on here, or on of Trinitys Facebook page after the game.

I thought it was only me. I was going to post the same but I'd only have been accused of ruining a thread or denying people the the right to an opinion.
3 games, 3 wins, what the hell are people doing picking at anyone at this point. Frankly the only team firing at present is Saints and even they arn't setting the world alight!
I'm delighted with what I've seen so far from ALL players. The timings are a bit out but so what, at this time of year you don't want to peak you just want to pick up points.
Let's save the good stuff for Cas, it's not that far away. Let's arrive at that game if possible with10 points in the bag. Then let's have bodies and reputations on the line when it's for pride and bragging rights. Trust me these early games won't mean a thing by comparison.
As for judging players especially new ones after just 3 games and 3 wins, do certain posters never learn?

Agree also finn doesn't seem to be striking the ball with the same fluency that he's had in previous seasons - most of the kicks have been difficult but last year was kicking them for fun

| Quote: Eastern Wildcat "As for knowing what's going off, then no I don't, as probably not many on here do either Vasty, that is apart from you, but as you have pointed put on numerous occasions, too much negativity and idle gossip, can have a negative impact and disrupt the team.'"
The difference is that not many on here profess to know whats going on, and vasty is right about too much negativity, so if you accept that then why do you post negative comments and single out one player for being penalised 3 times for headshots in a very intense mainly forward battle having played for the full 80mins with more than his share of tackling and ball carries, both Huby twice and Arona were also penalised for silly penalties, would you care to comment on that as well.

Okay he didn't set the game alight on Saturday apart from 2 head shots 1 facial and 1 knock on what else contributed to a real humdinger stinker as you so eloquently put it.

That's the problem, when your wingers score tries they tend to score them in the corners.

That's cos Johnstone doesn't have enough pace to allow him to outstrip all the defenders and then stroll into the middle and place it under the sticks - he's shocking!!!

Re horo he had a mare , gave other team 18 uneccesary tackles, or are we now saying he had a good game ? An odd penalty in a tight game so what it happens !
If you were ranking players on that game he’d have been down the bottom along with huby and Pauli

Save your sarcasm for vasty he's the one that makes you look an idiot all the time, I was simply pointing out that Johnstone scores most of his tries in the corner making it more difficult for Finn.
Nobody is saying Horo had a good game, but taking all things into account, it wasn't as bad as some people would have you believe, as you say he was better than Huby and Pauli, as for the 18 unnecessary tackles he gave away are you sure about that or are you just making it up to suit your argument, but I'm sure that when he gets settled in and he has a good game you and some of your back slapping mates will be on here telling all whats daft enough to listen that you knew he'd come good in time.
