Great news

One of his best games for us yesterday I thought - although I wouldn't have him on from the start; he's an ideal sub to throw at defenders who have already had some gas taken out of them.

Agree, good news and I'm a big fan. Just needs to be used properly like Bren says. Off the bench for me, play last 15 mins of the first half, first 10 of the 2nd half anf the last 15 of the match as a blueprint.

A try a game for the last 3, takes some stopping from a few yards out even if you tag team him.
Nice bit of methodology going on there, its been a while since we had that kind of success in those situations, I mean I like a bit of fancy cut out passing but a brute force bust over does the same job and its a useful foil...


Pauli Pauli, without doubt barring injury, has the makings of being a real force for us.

That’s your problem isn’t it - you turn on players instantly and then look foolish when they find some form.
Just how long did you think it would take a player returning from a bad injury, no game time and moving half way around the world to settle in, one game or two?

Most people reckoned on half a season at least.

Come on Vasty, I wasn't the only one who had a few doubts at the start, but am.probavly one of the first to admit to a bit of humble pie.

Wasn't some at first comparing him to Jarrod Hockey.

As for taking time to settle, and taking up a quota spot, had he have taken the biggest part of the season to settle, people would be questioning this, with him taking up the quota spot, and also cap space, which isn't really a luxury that we have.

Jarrad Hickey took my breath away with his initial run in a Trinity shirt, taking 5 Salford players down with his first drive. Over the next 7 games he was put on diet, after diet with no avail. Eventually he was sent off to a camp to improve his fitness and it still didn't work effectively ending his time at Trinity.

It's good to see that we can actually work closely with a player and put them through a "rehabilitation" process that works.

I want to see him ever present for Trinity, he sure adds a lot to the pack!

Happy with this, he has been much better offensively for the last month or so but needs to improve his defence. Seems to go looking for the big hit too often instead of just wrapping the man up.

Hes been in good form recently, but he shouldn't start a game. I think he is best used as an impact player from the bench late in the second half an early second, followed by the end of the game if we need some change

I also think Fifita is better utilised from the bench, although I would play him for longer minutes than Pauli

Dave seems to be able to conserve his energy better than Pauli, he's still really impactful in the later minutes.

It's all about technique in my opinion.
Dave makes tackles and sticks to them. He doesn't have to chase people down and he's a different shame too. PP seems very heavy set where Dave is actually just a naturally big bloke.

Fifita will need to start on Sunday to handle the "Force" from the off - Of course I am alluding to the Chapelhow brothers, who are quickly becoming renowned for the blockbusting runs.

Chapelwho?

I reckon this guy is an incarnation of the faux Frenchman off the VT - he uses those odd terms of phrase.

I see what you did there. Very good.

I can see the similarities but for some reason he reminds me of Homme Vaste...

Give it a rest will you, you are all over the forum moaning about some posters linking you with other posters and then you go and do the exact same thing.

Sorry bud, hope you didn't get the wrong end of the stick there. I believe that you only have one account on here. He just reminds me of you with the way he posts. That is all.

I think we're talking about words and context, homme vaste does not post like a translated Japanese sports page out of the Kathmandu Herald.
Looks more and more like one of the div triplets, though a few weeks ago I would have bet it was Johnno the dingbat with a new account that isn't banned from the Wakey board yet.
Either way, y'awl know what its here for, in one ear....out the other, do not collect £200, is the best way to deal with it.

Trinity18 would you please change your avatar. Clearly you have done nothing wrong, but I find it wierd and distasteful. Thank you.

Up early MC ?

Morning DC,

Early start on Friday, work hard play hard I presume!

Now changed, apologies for any inconvenience caused.

That's much better, less freaky that avatar.

Such blockbusting runs that you still haven't won a game since March?? Impressive!

Delete that post, don't tempt fate.
