I agree with all you say there Vasty, Fiin has been a great servant in his time with us.
The situation is a little similar to Grixy and Max.
The only thing I would wish is that when Grix and Finn are fit again, they too should have to play for their place not be automatic choices for return!
To me that's how it should work.
I'm a big fan of Finn and Grix, but they need to look over their shoulder! good position for us to be in !

outstanding!!!!!!! what a win!!

1 or 2 more and we are safe.

then maybe a crack at top 4???

Don't get ahead of yourself BOJ

Just for the record Her In Doors, quoting about how I should get a job, I have a good job, and have been in continuous work nearly every week since 1990.

I was off work yesterday and today for bereavement leave for a close family member.

Am I the only one who posts through the day?

Well that was very satisfying; our first 30 minutes were, I think, flawless - no penalties, no errors and 100% completion? Wigan barely touched the ball and when they did, we knocked them right off their game - lovely stuff.

I can't think of a player who let us down - but special mentions to Jowitt, Pauli, Big Dave and Hampshire; and that pairing of him and Miller looked great - quick, sharp and very inventive. BJB a very worthy motm - he was absolute class for the full 80.

Most satisfying to see Mr Child hand out penalties for backchat - it seems clear now that they've been told to clamp down on it, and I fully support that initiative; love seeing Tomkins put in his place. Maybe the next directive could be to penalise SoL every time he a) tackles around the neck and b) when he cynically reefs the ball out? Great player, but as Dave pointed out pre-match, an absolute grub.

Good work from the North Stand with the Rectum songs - but I do wish you'd cut out the C word stuff - it's a bridge too far; that used to be a word that men would never say around women - what happened?! Or am I just old fashioned?

Great team performance



I thought our forwards were outstanding last night, they gave our halves and wings plenty of time and space.

There's a definite lack of the aroma of scouse today

I thought Reece had a belter last night looking better sll the time

This, I enjoy the singing chants we do BUT not this, The Young'uns need to keep to the encouraging songs.


Up The Trin

Social media. It's brought everything out in the open, no matter how taboo, and it's spilled over into daily life. Even my wife uses it more than me these days.

I very rarely use the F word in front of women even though I find more and more younger females happy to use it themselves occasionally. FFS is the exclamation I use at least 20 times a day at work though.

Never use the C word in front of females and never hear them using it, although it is a term I use regularly when describing individuals to male colleagues. Usually affixed with "useless or dozey"

what was the song with the 'C word@ in it?

Take your pick last night. 'Joel's a c*nt and so is Sam' was one.

Nothing wrong with singing and chanting

But using language like that isn't acceptable. We are a family sport, and it's not nice to hear when you have a young family with you.

"Wash your mouth out son......" then it eventually gets to the word "Cas"

Indeed - it crosses the line for me; I don't take young kids any more, since mine have grown up, but I cringe for all the women and kids who are subjected to that. When I were a lad, had I used that or any other profanity in front of women, my Dad, a tremendous swearer himself in male company, would give me a clip and make me apologise.

I also cringe when the swearing and profanities come out. For all the great effort to sing and cheer on the team they let themselves down.

Last night showed the value of a squad full of good players. Yes all those you mentioned stood out last night but the great thing is that next week it may be another group of players.

But in a way it was what the other players did that really mattered even if they didn't catch the eye as much.

TJ - had a relatively quiet game but suddenly pops up with a wonder try when it really mattered - one chance all game and as ever he rarely misses.

England - ran the ball in hard and relentlessly all the first half, not fancy but effective.

Hirst - probably the most pleasing for me because when he came on I didn't notice any difference, I didn't even notice him! He just got his head down and drove the ball in with exactly the same venom as England - he may be SL standard after all.

The above of course applies to them all to be honest.

People keep saying we have underachieved this season, well we haven't, what we've done until last night is fail to over-achieve and it's over over-achieving that wins you things and that includes teams like Saints and indeed Wigan.

We just need to carry on and dare to win.

Hirst has been pretty solid for the majority of the year. Dropped off the last few games like a lot of the players but he started the season well. Definitely a SL player. Just wish he'd adapt his running style a bit as he runs it in far too straight at times which makes him easy to pick up and drive back. He needs to bend his back and drop his shoulder a bit more.

I thought TJ was quiet until I watched a replay on TV when I got home. He worked his socks off driving the ball out and pulled off some crucial tackles in defence, capped by the hit on O'Loughlin that really made the game safe when the ball was spilled.

Yeah I meant quiet in terms of scoring opportunities.

Agreed.
They should know that Trinity could be hock for some of the stuff they are chanting, obviously no respect for their fellow fans, especially those with young kids

and the image of the club, althouigh, just a few have previously demonstrated their inability to think of others.
I may be starting to sound like my old man but, keep it clean (ish) and light hearted and then EVERYONE can enjoy the game, not just the few who have had a little more drink than they can cope with

Reece had a great game too. He’s shown recently that you can put him opposite any centre in Super League. His reading of the game and defence has stepped up a level this season.

the chanting has got monotonous especially the one stand up if you support the Trin,
fans feel obliged to get up and down when they are singing it, well sorry my stays seated and it doesn't make me any less or more of a supporter

Have to agree I cringed when I heard some of the language in the chants last night with lots of young kids about.
Magic weekend was an eye opener when the KR fans descended on our end

The foul mouthed chanting does need sorting out if only in the context of increasing crowds. I no longer take newcomers to home matches because it’s embarrasing and I’m sure some existing fans are put off by it.
