By the way Leigh are only getting 16 at Catalan, shows the bookies don't think much of us

Presume there is a - omitted from PB's post.

yes ,silly me

Shouldn’t it be Wakefield with a 20 points start.

Surely will have learned valuable lessons from the Cats game , and positive it will have be drilled into our kickers to keep it away from their speed merchants or high enough to allow our lads to hit them the minute they receive it , oh and if we concede make sure their out wide that way it 4 points , instead of 6 . Can’t play any worse and I feel they’ll be up for it to prove a point

All last weeks try’s were out wide. The defence in the middle was not broken once in 80 minutes and was almost perfect. It’s the wide defence (mainly from kicks that needs addressing). Conceding anywhere should t be acceptable.

Agree about the kicking though. We need to be challenging and have a plan on that front.

That’s because we are pretty awful

So were Wigan if you watched the game And couldn’t kick a goal for toffee

But if we’re going to concede against Wigan it’s best outside as they couldn’t kick for toffee against HKR so it 4 instead of 6

First 3 kicks were from touch give him a break .They will not need goal kicks to beat us .

You’re not wrong however it won’t help us

I see nothing but some serious backlash for our boys

The season has just started and we were in the first game within final quarter. It could have been 2 points against what is a top 4 team.

What is with all the negativity with a section of trinity fans like the worlds just caved in. The positivity can’t have dried up already surely.

I just feel people are been far too negative. The telling point for us is between round 3-9. That will define our season.

Must admit I saw nothing against Catalans that made me think we'd get anything from an away trip to Wigan. The performance largely reminded me of what we've seen over the past 3/4 seasons. Little go forward, unforced errors, leaky edge defence, slow distribution from DH, no real game plan, slow defensive line speed, no pressure on the kicker.

It will take massive performance from all our pivots and forwards, in fact everyone. Truth be told beating Wigan away isn't going to be the difference between staying in SL or not, but it would be a very nice little bonus.

That last statement I hope is very far away from the teams and coaching teams mentality. Every point does matter and could be the difference between relegation, play off rugby and success or failure.

No I will get shot down but time but think this could be the worse team we had In S L Hope they prove me wrong but it was very worrying after Friday .

I remember far more teams with less skill and quality especially the seasons following financial trouble many years ago in SL. This team has far more ability.

Me too, but it still doesn't alter the reality of the situation, beat Wigan but lose to Leigh twice, pointless.

You won't get shot down by me. On boxing Day I say some very positive signs, I have watched all the games since then and I am getting a little disappointed about some players. Just hoping Catalan was a bit of a blip and every player steps up and produces their best.
I am sure after Huddersfield next week we will get a more reliable picture of the capability of the team and the quality of many of our players.
Wigan game will give us some clues how they respond, but our next home game should tell us the most.

Doesn`t make much sense though, 2 points is 2 points, beating Wigan or losing to Wigan is not in anyway linked to the Leigh fixtures.

Just trying to emphasise a loss to Wigan away won't be the difference between relegation or not.

Well, I'll be the first then....


We have had worse teams than this one in SL.

The experienced centre, who has represented England on two occasions, was conspicuous by his absence when Mark Applegarth named his 21-man squad for Friday's game at the DW Stadium.

"Reece has got a bit of a medical issue," said the Trinity boss.
When we're in a place to give you a bit more info, we will. I don't really want to elaborate on it. We're still working on that one.

Far too dramatic after 1 game.

THis could be a huge problem if we lose. Just who will everyone blame ?
