That's hardly a good reference.
I like him and he does a lot of things right but he plays a position where we need metres and he doesn't have that.

If we had Griffin and Tanginoa back row then maybe he'd work.
But yesterday showed his flaw too.
He caught the ball and ran well to make a great break in open play. But he went to floor with the faintest of touches. He needs to be able to make post contact metres.

I hear the backline will be a bit different today.

Two out, still two remain, sadly in the pivotal positions. The plodder at 9 and the headless chicken at 6. Not confident we'll score a point.

Reckon we’ll give em a good game. Doubt we’ll win it but think they’ll be more than say 14-16 in it.

We need to go all guns blazing, came out under cooked against Cas and it showed. Hopefully we keep the damage to a minimum.

With Cas getting hammered last night I really hope that my prediction is wrong and we can do something special against Sts. Would be typical of us to get something out of this game

Bottling it again.

Yep, 35 minutes of hard if unproductive work to be thrown away the last five minutes of the half. Mistake, penalty, penalty, try.

Saints kicking early in the tackle count to keep fresh for the second half, confident of holding us out.

Losing Dagger is a blow.

Team busts a gut for 35 minutes then individuals let the rest down with dumb plays.

Score 10 - 6 to Saints, five or so minutes to half time, had to nip to toilet , my last words to wife,watch Saints score just before half time.
They not only scored one try, they scored two. unbelievable, typical Trinity, from what would have been a half decent position going into half time, we are now chasing the game.

Mash must give a hell of a half time team talk, we've actually come out in the second half worse. Individual errors really costing us today.

Well a scrappy half means only a 16 point loss. Best we could've hoped for in all reality. Although I maintain we could've had them if we were half competent. Sadly we are a long way from being so.

Some effort that!
Just those individual errors gifting Saints the cushion.
Not often we finish the stronger.

Yep.

I know some will moan about the score but we were the better team for a lot of that game.
They only scored through our mistakes. If Dagger had stayed on it could have been different but at least we are still in contention with points difference.

Was impressed with Croft and Kershaw.
