Apart from one dumb kick I thought Jowitt stood up well in that 2nd half. Kirmond still busts a gut too.
Didn't see any improvement in Broughy's kicking game from last season but I'd like to watch the game back on Trin TV though as the view from that Eastern Terrace is awful.

3 friendlies in and 2 under par performances.

Hopefully we cant read too much into it, and that we are getting these out of our system.

I too didn't see too much from Danny Brough. A little concerned here, as he was supposed to be our organiser, and the missing part of the jigsaw.

Only time will tell

The problem last season was our inability to make a gap, any sign of improvement in this area or did we just rely on the kick through on the last.

I don't think you can read too much into that tonight, first half Hudds were up in our face at every play, we didn't have anywhere near the same line speed, to the point I thought it looked intentional.

Walker - Went ok, did what he had to do at FB, injury looked sore.
Johnstone - Quiet night, one effort at a superman try that was in touch, took a couple of runs in
Lyne - Couple of decent runs
Bill - Didn't really notice he was playing
Kershaw - Plenty of endeavour, took a lot of balls in but made a couple of gaffes in defence

Hampshire - Went ok, thought he was a bit slow at shipping the ball at times
Brough - Poor night, threw a few poor passes and kicking game hit and miss

Tanginoa - Decent first 20 but he's wasted in the middle
K Wood - Went ok, got targeted for their first try and swatted aside, which will happen now and again
Kopczak - Looked a bit ponderous, made a couple of good runs in but not up to speed.
Pitts - Went really well, made some real powerful runs on the edge
Batch - Did his tackling, decent game
Westerman - Blew hot and cold throughout the game, looked really dangerous at times and hopeless at others.

Kirmo - Caused Hudds problems on a few occasions, up there with Pitts for best performer
Gwaze - Made some decent runs and got a couple of quick PTB's
Atkins - Looked good again, took ball in plenty of times and looked strong
Jowitt - Good performance, based on that wouldnt rule him out of contention for FB just yet
J Wood - Tackled well and made his presence felt in the middle

Aydin/Arundel/Croft - didn't really notice these guys, Arundel took a knock in 1st half but came out later

Bit of a weird game really, still a useful run out - didn't cause Hudds any problems though really until the last 15.

Thought that Sezer for Hudds was MOTM, might be because I was looking out for him but he set up a few nice moves with his passing.

Very hard to see what is & has been achieved tonight, just confirms what we do each pre season with regard to too many friendlies & injuries whilst as a team achieve nothing ??
I do however hope for the best this season but it's hard to see any plus points from our pre season games, up the Trin !

No such team "cosmicat Wildcat" & we came on the train.

Can’t really read owt into any half back playing behind a beaten pack ,lay the platform up front n give the lad a chance .Im a little concerned about the preseason games just hope this not showing your hand works out for us, as there’s a big difference polishing your moves on the training park as against a full blooded opposition . No doubt we’ll find out next week and hopefully put my reservations to rest

Friendly games are notoriously poor indicators of what is to come, so not reading much into any result so far BUT I am concerned that we don't really seem to have come through any of them unscathed.
Additionally some senior players have yet to make an appearance.

I do get what you're saying Ketty, though Rocky went ok. Its the same for both halves, is it not.

At the end of the day, he's not new to the club, or the position.

For a player who's signing divided fans I think, and for so much was hoped, I think so far, it hasn't worked.

Hopefully I will be proved wrong, and like I say, only time will tell.

It’s not really the brough show that bothers me eastern it’s the not showing your hand in full on games that does .Im sure things will drop into place but we do need to hit the ground running as we’re all aware how precarious our position was last season and get some wins under our belt which I’m sure will settle not only the players but fans alike .

On a side note did hudds marquee signing play and if so how did he go ?. Couldn’t go last night a having a disc repaired in hospital and with no coverage with rhubarb I’m in the dark somewhat

Sezer looks like an excellent signing to me. He took the ball up close to the defensive line before putting players through gaps a number of times.
He could quite easily do for Huddersfield what Hastings did for Salford last year and make an average looking side very competitive.

Not too much to cheer from a Trinity perspective last night.
Huddersfield seemed to treat this as a dry run for round one and Sezer was very good and clear MoM.

Of the two sides, I dont see too many changes for Huddersfields starting 13 for their first game but, there will be 4 or 5 for Trinity.
I'm just hoping that we are "keeping our tinder dry" and not wanting to show how we may attack KR next week as, considering that Hudds were much weakened in the second half and we had plenty of possession in their 20, we looked awful with the ball.
Westerman showed some glimpses and Kirmond was excellent when he came on, Atkins looks quality and just seems to do the little things really well.

The one thing for sure is that expectation is not anywhere near boiling point (understatement) and although you cant read anything into these games, your gut suggests that we will be battling for mid table, rather than genuinely challenging for a play off spot.
Having said that, if we win next week, which is all that matters for now, everything will be hunky dory.

Didnt go last night ai cant comment but her in indoors and the lads did.the missis never seems concerned about wakey in the shocking run last season she always more than confident that we would be ok and never once said we could be in trouble she definitely is a glass half full type of person but she came home last night and said oh dear gonna be a long hard season and she fears for the team.she said it was clear to see how we lack in ideas and looked so unfit we actually gave pens away twice from been too slow on stop clock.

I know it was a friendly and yes we had a lot out injured(again somthing concerning) but hudds also had some quality players missing in cudjie,edwards,gavet and tai uate and roberts.

Anyway off into town to book onto bus for kr game up the trin

The type of performance appears reminiscent of our bad run last season where we just could not score. I really hope Brough makes something of what should be his last season but I fear based on last season and being another year older it may be time to use him as backup, but I know we won’t.

Our passing is of schoolboy standard the balls either too high too low or behind the player nothing last night convinced me anything has changed from last season, No idea how to break down a team. Hudds were on us every tackle we were that slow we only made a couple of yards each time. Whilst we never moved up ay all. They dropped the ball from there try line to the 30 meter line & by the time we picked it up they tackled us on th 25 yard line we were that slow Now I know they're only friendlies but surely if they had it in them they'd be some flashes of what is to come but sadly there hasn't been. You have got to wonder if the coaches have learned anything from last season because this year we look exactly the same

What’d everyone make of Westy last night?

6/10 for me....like the rest of the team

Got shot down a few month ago for saying a lot about what as happened in the first 3 matches no change in basic skills

I think it took us 73 minutes to make a clean break last night (Kirmond) and 78 minutes to score a point...just about sums up the performance for me, however, as others have said, hopefully we were keeping our powder dry

I thought he was decent, looked a real handful with the ball but made a couple of errors. Serious competition with Arona for the LF spot. Definitely one of them starting and one on the bench for me.

Just out of interest is any one going to the reserve game at Doncaster tonight, thinking of having a ride over.

Huddersfield will have kenny Edwards, James Gavet, and ukuma taai in their starting 13 round 1.

Was at the reserve game tonight 36 - 22 I think to Donny

, but what a great team effort by the youngsters against a mature physical side with Chase at the helm. From 1 to 17 they stood up well and matched them with pace and great defence when needed, a few lapses cost them but overall a really enjoyable game, well done to all the young Wakey lads out there you did yourselves and the club proud tonight
