One of the few shiny sweetcorns in a lacklustre toilet of a performance was Corey.

The performance that Kopczak produced today is something I didn't see from him in two seasons at Wakefield. He was used as a ball handling prop and most of the time he passed out of the back like an extra half back and it caused us problems. To round it off he managed to carry four over the line with him which I also never saw him replicate in a Wakefield shirt. I actually thought for the amount of field position they had our defence held up quite well in our own twenty. I'm not too concerned as it was a friendly and I think another eighty minutes will do the players good. Does anyone else think we need an extra friendly though? Seems odd to be to only have in reality two friendlies with first team players involved and then a three week gap until our first Super League fixture?

I alluded to our forward prowess/power on here recently and was told by more than one on here that we are fine in that department, well after our forwards were shown the way today by so called (has been’s ) of super league I think I’ve vindicated my concerns with moors and lefao making yards at will in the game .Time and time again we were rolled down the field on the back of their pack and an energetic back line . Not good enough in a friendly and certainly not good enough for a team I’m hoping will be mid table come the end of season . Positives out of today’s game for me were no obvious injuries and a good solid hit out whilst also there is still time to iron the flaws in our attack/defence out .Having watched HKR dismantle Dewsbury with consummate ease on fri night IMO we are way off the pace and power that’s needed on today’s showing ,and yes Fev are a much harder nut to crack than the Rams ,but we are just not on the money at present with just a few weeks to go until the serious stuff begins.

Being a lifetime Trinity fan teaches you. Couple of things... whenever you look at a fixture and a team sheet and think ... that looks good I’m really looking forward to this... it turns out bad.... whenever you think ... oh I’m really worried about this ... it turns out ok!

Up the trinity!

Too true

I think batch is the one who could cover prop with most effect when we need to play players out of postion

I suspect Liam Hood may be having a trip to the disciplinary with the sin binning for the late hit. I think he may not be available for the Hull game.

And on that showing Hampshire

Looked to be blowing out of his derrière to me in the game ,and struggled at times to get back in line ,early days I suppose and plenty to work on .

Walker for me too to partner Milky

Jowitt, Johnstone and Fifita looked like they wanted to win the game. Expected a bit more from Lyne.
Miller just killed virtually every move he got involved in including a few where Les Tonks could have gone through the gap but he turned back and threw out another hospital pass.
Arona's performance was not one of his best.
Typical and predictably poor show that gave the large Wakey following a depressing 80 minutes.

Would certainly not be short of enthusiasm and would run into a brick wall repeatedly for wakey of asked I suspect. We have a number of capable props though.

Plenty of time to fix things up for round one.
