| Liked the look of Rourke yesterday, isn't what you would class as particularly quick but because he has a very easy balanced running style he is able to cover ground quickly, made a superb cover tackle to stop what looked a certain try, was sound under kicks in defence, and can get up High to apply pressure on attacking kicks.
One area I felt he needs to improve upon is chiming into the line, there were one or two issues with it yesterday where he came at the wrong time or he came in, got the ball and didn't really seem sure of what to do next, that hesitation enabled the defence to recover. Have to say a couple of problems were caused by poor decisions by the halves for example the SO gave him a ball out on the flanks which resulted in Rourke being picked up by about 4-5 defenders and carried into touch, when you watched the replay from a different and wider angle there were no other London Bronchials players on that side, so why run that play?
Think he will be a useful acquisition for us though

Do not think we will find it easy as that ,we are a team who have made signing of player's who have not played in S L ,some of the new signings are average and it looks like we are taking back players into S L who were past it when we were last there .Your Huddersfield and Hull will be a lot stronger next year and think now we would find it hard to beat the rest of S L Do not think it is going to be the cake walk some fans are expecting

I dont agree, in general, we have a decent pack that should hold its own with anyone. I am happy with 1 to 5 . However I do have doubts about our halves. I think our fate lies in the hands of Lino,Russel and Truman, I hope Powell faith in all three works.

No one has said it is going to be a cake walk.
I'm interested to know who you think we should have signed?

It certainly won't be a walk in the park.
There has been a few blow out scores this weekend, and there is what looks like a bit of a gulf at the moment in quality of some clubs.
With what we have so far, I think we have a competitive squad, but probably not top 6. We know there are some to add, and who knows, we could have some surprises up our sleeves. I do keep hearing that Lino is going, and if that is the case, would not be surprised to see another half coming in.
Having read some comments on SM after we clinched the shield, there has been a few salty comments from the usual suspects, and wouldn't be surprised if some under estimate us.

| Possibly the most important position on the field is hooker and that's where we need to strengthen,imo.Hood has been a good servant but
we require better in SL next season.Doyle is looking like he's got what it takes but next year is possibly too soon.Same with Smith,but further away.Not sure if he's available and we could fit him in,but as I've mentioned before,Parcell would take us to another level.Forget age,he looks as good as ever and doing nearly a full game for KR most matches.

I think you are misreading optimism for hubris... but i get it... optimism is a rare commodity amongst Trinity fans

Let's not exaggerate, he had 3/4 good games but still wasn't as good as a 34 year old who'd retired the season before.
He looks leaner and is playing well this year, but we need to remember the quality of the opposition. He's a lot to prove in my opinion.

He does, but then he's not guaranteed a starting spot either.
Uele, Rodwell, McMeekan, and then Atoni and Vagana fighting it out for the last spot.

I'd say he's well ahead of Vagana at the moment. Vagana was unlucky with his injury so I think it'll be next season before we see the best of him. Showed some good signs today though.

So in your opinion who are average out of our new signings then? and who was past it back in 2023 that we're taking back up to SL?
Also, I'd put good money on us beating London, Hull and Huddersfield right now, the last two especially are dire. Who are all these players that are gonna make Huddersfield and Hull a lot stronger next year? Hull seems to have got together an over 33 side, yeah there are a couple of decent signings there but that's about it, Hudderfield has signed one of the Burgess Twins, who plays about 20 minutes a game nowadays. If he was much cop his brother would have snapped him up to play for Wire. Marsters and Yates Hudds best 2 players this year, one gone and the other is going. They signed a number of overseas at the start of the year on 3 and 2-year contracts, like Clune, Deakin and Murchie and so it's going to be hard for them to make room on the cap to sort that team out imo.
Whoever has said SL is going to be a cakewalk next season? I've never heard it once, so why make things up? The most I've heard fans hope for is if we made the top 6, but many also would be happy with a competitive top 8, that also would be a good starting point.
Can't beat one of our own fans bigging up rival clubs and cvonstantly crapping all over our team and new signings, why bother watching?
