Saints currently getting pumped 26-0 at Salford at half time !!!

Now 38-6 !!

Great score to keep it alive at the top of the table . No one will be fielding a weak team while it’s open and will be wanting to go into the playoffs in form and with momentum .

Finished 44-12

Have saints got injuries or are they resting key players?

Pretty much tge team that played us with Knowles back in.

Sounds like it was Salford who had the most injuries.

And we play Saints in our penultimate game, I want them to have the number one position sewed up by then!

They ay Toulouse the week after us

I think the try of the season came from this game. Incredible try from Croft.

Wow, you really have got it bad, mind you, I dont think you are on your own.
Hopefully, the rest of us can still get behind the boys for the rest of the season and let's see what happens.

Wonder if Warrington are starting to get twitchy yet. For a "big" club, with their spending power, it's incredible just how far they have fallen.

For Trinity, if we can maintain our defence of the last couple of weeks, we will certainly give ourselves a chance v Catalan, who are not in great form.

I know that we've had a few new players come in and one or two go through the exit but, has there been any change in the backroom staff.
The lads are all defending as a unit and scrambling well, a level of commitment that we haven't seen this season, with the possible exception of the 2 wins away at Warrington.

Although we want to see Trinity win every game, the effort in defeat v Saints was immense and to back that up v Cas, who are in decent form, was superb.

We're certainly not safe yet but, we look like we are capable of escaping the drop, which wasn't the case a couple of weeks ago.

I'm still behind them and will be at every match cheering them on. I'm just pointing out how even the most optimistic of fans have lost a lot of belief in this team this season. Be honest deep down are you going on Sunday expecting the same as last Friday? Hoping perhaps, but expecting. I'm not talking winning here, nobody can really expect that, I'm just talking performance levels. The crux of this season and why it's been so soul destroying has not been the results but the nature. One week we will look frankly excellent as last week, then for no obvious reason we look like a team of strangers, many of whom appear to have never played the game before. It's this Jekyll and Hyde act that is destroying the fans moral, if we were just plain crap we'd have accepted that, but when you know how well a team can play but it consistently doesn't then you start to question.

My reply was a bit tongue in cheek but, I know that some fans have thrown in the towel this season.

I really would be interested to know quite what changed in the last 2/3 weeks though.
To go from the poor fayre served up v KR and Toulouse and to then push Saints al the way and finally beat Cas (and very convincingly) has been a remarkable turnaround.
In fact quite staggering.

You suggest Jekyll and Hyde but, there have been very few high points or, decent performances.
Hopefully, the last couple of games have given everyone an indicator as to what is possible from this group of players.

We certainly have some "grunt" in the pack now, which should be the platform to some solid performances and it's great to be looking forward to the next game, rather than turning up just through loyalty and meeting up with pals.

I was mainly thinking of the Warrington games.

I think the obvious improvement started with the loan signing of Shaul who appears to tell players where to mark up. He definitely appears more vocal than Jowitt but Shaul will assist his development.

With Kelepi back in this week, does he get back in and if so, who does he replace?

He wouldn't be back row for me.
If he plays he's off the bench and maybe even at prop.

battye though he didn't do any mistakes

I dont want to sound optimistic but apart from kr this weekend i cant see who toulouse will beat unless of course injurys or weakend teams effect things which is why i believe they may beat kr although there fighting and will hopefully have a frw back.us on the other hand going on friday there is 2 or 3 we can and could win.....

Notice Toulouse seem to get off lightly with the review panel. Thought someone got done for a crusher on Friday isn’t that a ban?

Read that a Toulouse player almost “took so so early head off” but haven’t seen anything.

Hopefully we keep the focus firmly on Catalans. I’ve been impressed by how focused and enthusiastic in defence the players appear to have been this past 2 games. I’m actually looking forward to going on Sunday to watch them play!

Defend as we have for the last 2 games and we have a chance of getting something from the game.
Certainly far from easy. Maybe we should tell the lads we're playing Cas
