A good friendly performance.

Up the Trin

Max Jowitt my choice for MotM too.
Eseh went off after a nasty head clash.
Hood's injury looked pretty bad, limping off aided.
Some highlights worth mentioning for me:
1. Antoni half break and his off load to Jowitt
2. Lineham tracking back and overhauling Kyle Evans when it looked certain KE would speed in for a 2nd try.
3. One on one ball steal by Lineham when Fev were pushing to regain the lead on our edge early in their tackle count.

I think the first half summed up these kind of games. We were trying to work through our drill whilst Gev were trying to prove a point. Hence they looked full of enthusiasm and we looked wooden.

In the second half we made a game of it and did well to turn a potential embarrassment into a respectable score, good coaching imo.

Don’t think any of the injuries were serious apart from Hood perhaps.

I like Hood but we look so much quicker when Kay comes on, he’s turned into a terrific number 9.

You warming to Lineham, steady

Certainly better at 13. He absolutely gets stuck in thought. He was regularly pulling out 3/4 consecutive tackles in defensive sets. That’s some big effort. Also he is vocal which is great to see. I’m happy with him playing 40-50 minutes a game if he continues to show that high level of workrate.

Honest review mate.

He’ll only going to get better as his fitness improves with more game time

Awful first half but much improved second half. We really outclassed them in the second half.
Max was pretty impressive, definitely my MoM.

I couldn't decide whether the game plan was to absorb Fev's pressure in the first half then step it up in the second or they were given a half-time rollocking...whichever it was it obviously worked !!
Atoni certainly looks like he takes some stopping close to the line


Hood's injury looked quite serious as he clearly couldn't put any weight on his left leg and went into the dressing room on crutches

Just read Mash’s post game interview. Proctor played with Flu, if it’s anything like what’s been flying about recently he’s a braver man than me! Hood scans tomorrow

I know I’m to old for it these days but I couldn’t resist a goad. Had a bunch of Fev lads behind me a one insisted on singing SL you’re having a laugh. It was a real pleasure to turn around at the end and ask him if he was still finding it funny - he looked a bit annoyed

I did say if the real Lineham turns up we have a good player, fingers crossed it’s permanent.
