It’s no criticism of players like Aydin who is really promising or Arona or Fifita.

Before too many games have come and gone I just think Trinity need more grunt, experience and size at prop. Opposition will just roll over the top of Trinity with a decent pack and Trinity won’t be able to compete.

Butler is out of contract at the end of this season and has a fair bit of SL experience….

I'd be quite happy to see how the team we have progresses. No need for panic buying.

Hope the Trinity pack can dominate SL opposition this season but the second half performance was more because Leeds were back in first gear as the game was already won.

I don’t see it as ‘panic buying’ more a ‘nothing to lose’ 4 week loan with a player that’s got something to prove in SL…

yes, just buy some glue for Battyes hands
have you watched the game yet you'll get a good close up how clumsy he was this time on in front of the try line
while the first half of the game has traumatised me I'm not in panic mode yet

I couldn’t understand why we had Batch at Left centre who has always played right SR or Centre and also Pitts who’s never played centre play there….

Why not put batch right centre where he’s had 2 good games this season and Ashurst who is used to the left in the left or even Jowitt to left centre and Butterworth to full back.

There were what I would consider better options.

We very much lost due to the centres. They weren’t sliding and sometimes jamming in on leaving an option for Leeds to throw ball out for an overlap. Mostly it happened on the right and Murphy exposed to situations he shouldn’t have had to deal with had we defended the plays correctly.

The middles I thought were pretty good in defence.

We just couldn’t get possession in the opening 20 minutes and Leeds had a six again almost every set and a few penalties. Some of which justified and some a bit harsh imo.

Hall and Lyne back and we will look completely different. I expect us to give Toulouse a hiding.

we could learn a lot from Whinos' "basic rugby league" play during the first half. They played fast, flowing rugby moving the ball along the line from wing to wing and advancing up the field together as a singular force. This resulted in 30 points and ultimately proved a winner. At too many times we were playing one man attacking up the middle a la Chris Chester style. If we could only adopt the simple, basic style of play that Leeds did we would win more than we would lose.

Just read the BBC Sports match report on their Rugby League web site. According to their report Walker was at full back for Trinity. I wonder if Jowitt noticed that he hadn't been playing. Typical Beeb!!!!!

. We have played the the simple basic style that Leeds play in the first 3 games and gone well .There was only T J playing last night who would be in the first pick three-quarters line .There is a bit of difference between having Lynn and Hurst in the centre and two forwards one who is 32 years old Take into account that Miller went off after 3 minutes and you can see why we could play no were like we have done in the first 3 games .The problem also was that that the two forwards in the had been playing well in the pack so it made us weaker there as well When Tupo comes back into the team I would put him on the wing and leave Hurst in the

Think you mean Corey Hall ! and lets be honest do you really think the old Tupou we know will make the full comeback we expect are asking alot its time we faced up to reality and negotiated a pay off deal, its only holding the club back in the long run , we did'nt try to sign Langi for no reason.

That's a very fair comment about weakening the pack, but do you seriously think Topou will get back in the side if he ever gets better, don't really see any room for him in the three quarters tbh.

Don't agree. Yes, the game was won but a good Leeds team would have put us to the sword and they didn't because they couldn't. The moment we started playing we were the better team. I don't think Leeds were in first gear they were in the same gear all game, think you are giving the opposition way too much credit there.

As for the buying, sorry but it's way too soon for that kind of signing. If we'd been flogged in four games then yes but we haven't so can you imagine what such a signing would do to team moralee?

Sorry for calling Corey Hall ,Hurst and thanks cheshirecat57 for putting me right Think I could get a job at BBC .But I do think that Hall is a great signing by W Poaching seams to know what he is looking for

Comfortable win for Leeds, job done first half, foot off the gas 2nd, just as the sensible posters here have already mentioned.

Dream on

Generally agree with what you say, but having not seen the Cats or Saints games bar the highlights I haven't seen Trinity produce the same fluent passing and attack that Leeds displayed on Thursday. Obviously as you say no one would expect two forwards to produce the goods in the centre births.
