| Quote: Kirmudgeonlyisback "Was a pretty decent run out, totally dominated first half. Thought hood was excellent but thought the off season has really made Kaye look more like a regular hooker, his passing from the floor was significantly quicker than last season.
Thought miller ran the game until he went off, Shame hall dropped couple potential interceptions as it would have been nice to see how much pace he actually has. John looks like he could be a serious contender on the wing.
Enjoyable afternoon out and am sure grid will have been impressed with the crowd. Be interesting to see both the team and how we perform against fev'"
It would of been good to see lewis take the one near end of game on his own teyline really seen him open up

| Aside from the win I think it's fitting to echo what many have posted on social media and the reason for the game.
Congratulations on an incredible career, Scott.

| Quote: Trojan Horse "I can see why as he’s got the size but it seems a shame as he was the best forward on the pitch today at 13. Wouldn’t blame Poching if he had second thoughts about the 13 spot.
Aydin with another promising display too which only adds to our options at prop.'"
This may be true on the day but no offence to Fax this was not first-class opposition, you can't decide his future on one pre-season friendly.
In truth, I don't know either but lack of size upfront for me dictates his position at least at the start of the season. Walker looks set for LF to me to start with but as the season progresses who knows.
For me, the props will be Fifita, Battye, Arona, Aydin and Whitbread, if the first four click and stay injury-free then we should see how he goes in a real game at 13 at some point.

I suppose the good thing to come from this is that we have a number of options to play players in positions if needed. I’m happy to back the coach on what he thinks is his best line up and I guess we will see in a few weeks.
Walker was good today. Think he was playing 6 but he was involved in a lot of the plays today and showed up well. I’d be happy to see him at 13. He did well with the boot today too.

| Has the game changed in the closed season?
I only ask because I've read a number of times that Trinity 'edged' this game. When exactly was a 52 -24 scoreline edging it?
I'd call it a comprehensive victory, one you'd expect against lower league opposition. If you take out the 'fluffy' 20 minutes in the second half Fax were totally outclassed even though they showed plenty of guts.
I know friendly scorelines are meaningless but there is a limit

I took it as being very polite to Fax as we most certainly did dominate for 3/4 of the match. Even with 5/6 of the young lads on last quarter we were well in control.

I think (only an opinion) that Whitbread will be one of the starting middles... in the modern game it doesn’t matter if thats 8,10 or 13... he has exceptional hands and is strong... almost tailor made for the British game... I was expecting Gaskell to be in the halves with Milky but I really like Brad Walker... his game is developing really nicely.
Halifax have a decent group of players and were very close to the top of the championship last year ... I hope the fundraising for Grix’s testimonial was good!
