If its Ashurst and Gaskell at centre that will be the two slowest centres ever played in a superleague side. This club is beyond a joke.

Perhaps fans would be a bit more forgiving if there was some communication from the club such as an injury update. Eg How many weeks before Jowitt is fit? Why keep putting Tanginoa in the 21 then not picking him to play.? Why keep playing g Atoni when he is obviously not interested?

How utterly depressing.
A certain drubbing, with a makeshift squad.
Those of you travelling over deserve a medal.

Will Tanginoa play or do they just repeatedly put his name on the list?

Of course they communicate, our messiah rallies round thr the fans for their positivity

Where is Reece Lynn, Majorca?

I’d hope they’d go with…

Dagger
Kershaw
Kay
Gaskell
Taufua
Lino
Gale
Whitbread
Hood
Bowden
Ashurst
Pitts
Crowther

Subs
Bowes
Butler
Tanginoa
Battye

You're hopeful....


I'd ask for after 10 minutes.........

Well yeah, just trying to be positive eh!

To be fair we have held quite a few teams up to half-time, as bad as we've been there must be 4 or 5 games where technically we were still in it at half-time.....

Do you actually want Kay in the centre?! Maybe he's on some sort of bonus to see if he can play every position before the season's out....

Can't see us leaving Gale out regardless of the below. He needs match fitness so we may as well use this game to work combinations out. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... d-26841380

Kay is one of the few players that Trinity should retain as his utility value is priceless. I think he’d do a better job at centre than most other options such as Ashurst and Taufua … where’s Corey Hall when you need him? Ahh yes we swapped him for a full back and now money has been found for a scrum half…

Can't disagree with you on most of that. Kay has been one of the better signings in the last 3 or 4 years, but still not sure about him playing centre

but like you say the other options are hardly appealing. It makes me laugh though with some on here who are bemoaning the fact we have no centres in the squad, when Reece Lyne has come in for quite some stick.....

Lynn is a shadow of the player he was a few years ago. I won’t question his effort but he’s just not good enough these days. He’s too cumbersome and billed up too much.

As for Kay. I started the season thinking he was a 9 and converting well but for me he’s not transitioned that well. He is lacking in the distribution side and decision making which at this level is costly. He can do some good scoots when on the front foot but I think we need to be sticking with Hood and Bowes who are experienced 9s. Kay can cover in emergency.

As for Centre I don’t know but I guess it’s only him or taufua. Neither are centres or have the experience there.

He went to intercept the plane but missed it.

Doesn't say he's worried. It says he's conscious of it. That seems sensible to me.
Same as if he was 18.

We are 10 games in … him stating the obvs .. Gales age /openly saying he’s planning for championship as well as SL does no good what so ever ! As a season ticket holder I want to hear him say that the coaches/players / staff are all fighting to stay in SL ! What will be will be but Christ give us something to come to matches for !

So we’re set to be without Lynne for 4 weeks due to a calf strain leaving us without any Centre options yet Corey Hall was disposable and is now one of the form Centres in SL for another club!

Master Class!

Not to mention send one out on loan

So you think we'll miss Lynn it's worst than I thought

Don't expect any worthwhile announcements from the club, it will never happen. The whole clubs become extra silent it doesn't even start the season with a statement of intent. Carter and Co have become happy with the 3to 4 though through the gate and have not had any intension of even trying to raise attendances or income. They Unfortunatly deserve what they get.

That's got to be one of the weakest 1 to 5 , I can remember in SL. 6 and 7 not that tasty either. My heart goes out to those poor souls who have gone over to Warrington tonight.

Last time Pitts played centre we were run wragged by an under performing Leeds. Thought Ashurst might've dropped in instead. Don't know who's injured/fit to play but Atoni, Taufua and to a lesser extent Proctor are very lucky to retain their spots.
