Ste Mills’ comment in the recent Trinity Heritage fans forum was telling. He said first and foremost they have a no d*ckheads policy. Signing players based on ability rather than character has been the downfall of many a team, including Wakefield. And you get the impression that might have been the case at Warrington - McGuire being the obvious one. A lot of us will have played in teams with characters like that who play every week because they can dominate, but they’re rubbish to train with and make the atmosphere toxic. As for ‘still’ BLM - it’s players like Jordy Crowther, egos like the moon, play in a dinner jacket and won’t do the hard yards

I’m led to believe that Burgees is a chip off the old block with the players too.

[quote="Shifty Cat":1jcuel5j]Speaking of Bentley, that was funny towards the back end of the 2nd half when Leeds was getting frustrated, Bentley got tackled and started to get all over-excited getting up and jumped up as though he was gonna have a go at the marker, then he saw it was Big Mike and he quietly played the ball and wandered off.[/quote:1jcuel5j] Saw that.... Absolute Gold.

[quote="BarnsleyGull":27osn2f7]Saw that.... Absolute Gold. [/quote:27osn2f7] Saw that pic of Pitts and Russell laughing at Bentley and someone commented “This picture wants hanging in the Louvre”

Mason Lino received 5 points on his record for a grade C charge of making contact to the head of an opponent. Puts him 1 point away from a ban. Caius Faatili received 1 point on his record for a Grade A late hit on an opponent

According to the RFL website you have got a 3 match ban for foul and abusive language towards an official :lol Are you going to appeal?

They are all under closer scrutiny so must be more careful because what might go unnoticed in the Championship will be spotted by the coverage. I must admit I believe he was lucky to escape a ban because it was definitely did not look good.

I must admit I believe he was lucky to escape a ban because it was definitely did not look good.[/quote:1fyxrmk5] It was about right for the incident. There’s a new system in place so points have to accumulate and it’s not straightforward as just banning a player if they have no prior points. He could commit a lesser offence and then will receive a ban.

[quote="Trinity_lurcher":3deuks3b]Jack Croft for me. Seriously changed my mind. Tackled brilliantly and made meters in contact[/quote:3deuks3b] You can certainly see the Kirmond's coaching influence in Jack Croft's performances so far this season. Takes the ball up hard and looks a lot more confident defending, being in the second row leaves him a lot less exposed than he was in the centre, where he struggled in defence at times

Croft has completely reinvented his career in the second row and them two destroyed Bell-ently and McDonnell who I actually really rate. If he continues like that then Nikotemo will struggle to get in the team for me. Storton has that bit of X factor about him, but Croft is an absolute unit now and looked the part. Long may it continue

[quote="Pat Bateman":1y7fepr4]Newman, Bentley and Connor Party in a phone box[/quote:1y7fepr4] That Brad Arthur must have a psychology degree to deal with those 3

The number of times I heard the commentator refer to "Jake Connor", I was thinking that three-quarters of the Whinos team must have been called that.

[quote="Big lads mate":19f42tl5]That Brad Arthur must have a psychology degree to deal with those 3 [/quote:19f42tl5] All 3 are equally deplorable, couldn’t imagine any of them getting anywhere near the rhinos team of old. They had Bailey who was a bell, but he actually served a purpose and his multiple grand final rings pay testament to that.

[quote="Big lads mate":ixkfahik]:lol: What a sad individual he is, I can imagine him having only 1 mate and that’s his reflection[/quote:ixkfahik] Dont think that likes him either tbh.....
