Not sure if you have seen anything of Trout recently Wren but he is a completely different type of player all together than the one that left us. A real handful in the wrestle, great offload and fend, was talking with Kyle and his brother the other day and he said he had put on just short of 4 stone since he left Wakefield, not sure how he will go in Super League but certainly stood out in the Championship.

My mistake. I had in mind the player that left us.

I have a bad feeling about this but I ll be there - its odd though on paper very few of the Hull KR team would get into ours

If only we could play them on paper

I'd take Garbutt, McGuire, Drinkwater and Hadley without a second thought.
Some others too on form.

Really. ..

Garbutt or england
Masoe or annikin
Kane linnet...or arundal
Drinkwater or brough
Mcguire or miller
Hadley or crowther
Tomkins or kirmond

Not to mention kienhorst who is a great player.and on current form id hzve before lynne.

I am with Trinity Knight on this one. Based on what I have seen over the last 10 games are so, there are quite a few more HKR players more than a match for ours.

HOWEVER, forget the player match up, the really big disparity is Smith v Chester and that is where they win hands down and have the greatest advantage.

I'd have agreed with you only a few months ago when we were playing well, however, since we hit tough times it has become clear to me that far too many of our players are paper tigers who when the going gets tough they hide. That's whats disappointed me most, it's not an effort thing, it's a taking responsibility thing. They run around and put the effort in but it's robotic, nobody is taking the game on. That's how I see it and it's not what I paid to see. I can find you 20 lads on Eastmoor who will give you a 100% effort, being a pro requires far more than just that.

I'm with you in principle but I'd rather have Arundal, Masoe and Arundal don't play the same position and I'd rather have Kirmond.

Yes that why i paired arundal with linnet both plsying SR/C postion.i do feel tight with regards kirmo and jordan to that point i have up most respect for both and like both

I meant Masoe and Annakin

You can make all the comparisons you like, but the Trinity players named were all part of a squad we were all proud of a few months ago. You wouldn't have swapped any of them, at least I wouldn't.
They are still good enough to take on the likes of HKR IF they play as they can.
Sadly I'm just not sure we will.

They have some absolutely fantastic playmakers in McGuire, Atkin &
Drinkwater.

They’ve got real size, power & energy up front in Masoe & Garbutt and a superb strike centre in Linnett.

Add in the experience of Hadley, Tomkins, Huraki, Hall, Keinhourst & Quinlan

They’re a good team that’s recovering well from a poor start while we are sinking like the Titanic after a good start.

I can’t see us winning this one.

And then there is the comparison where they beat us hands down. The coach.

Wont be popular on here put I feel we need Brough this game for his kicking game and experience.

Up the Trin
