Hopefully see you there Luppy!
Come and say hello if youre there - I'll have Tini's shirt on (the avatar pic)


Is your lad playing??

I’ve worked out who his lad is and I do hope so.

He is mate yes

Have you vasty ill tell him you wish him luck..

The team is out by the way a mixture as per the season

Mann (2nd season acad)
Kershaw
Beevers(2nd season acad)
Farrer (reserve squad)
Burrows (reverse squad)
Butterworth( reserves squad)
Phillips (2nd season acad)
Roberts (2nd season acad)
Bowes
Buttler
Windrow
Law(2nd season acad)
Scriver(reserves squad)

Subs
Sahaw
Pratt(1st season acad)
Mearns(2nd season acad)
Camplin(1st season acad)

I assume to qualify you have to have played a reserve game?

If so I reckon this squad sums Applegarth philosophy. He’s stuck loyal to the players he’s brought through. The only exception is Butler.

He could easily have pitched in a few more like Evens who at this point is probably the better player than Burrows?

Tanginoa from memory played Reserves and a few others but for me that wouldn’t be the right message to send out.

That team might not win but it’s the right team to pick.

Surprised Evans isn't in. He has been a mainstay in this year's reserves. Presume he's unavailable or injured?

To be fair evans played more than burrows but hes away with wales so cant play, im not sure if or what rules there are all i i can say everyone playing as played at some point this season

Good luck boys.
Can't be there today but I hope we show our best today and bring back the trophy.

Just about to set off and pick up my mate on the way from Shudds
Come on lads!
Up the Trin!

Not sure how we let the drop out go in touch.

Camera work a bit dodgy

Strong Wigan team, big test for us

Fantastic try Butterworth

Any score yet?

Pass for that try was a mile forward
Sat right in line with it....

18-6 ht

Who's winning?

Wigan

On Trinity twitter page if you want to follow

18 - 6 Wigan

TBH Wigan are clearly a stronger team with a large number of older more experienced players. Physically out muscled, not so much in the FR but the back row with the exception of Windrow.

All the same plenty of positives in the form of individual effort.

Windrow, Shaw, Butler matching it up front.

Skriven, Camplin and Law playing well above their ages. Butterworth some nice touches but Bowes yet to fire. The rest are a bit men against boys but then that's exactly what they are.

What matters is there are a number of first team possibles, basically those above.

Not saying anything regarding the backs because they simply have not had any chances so can't comment.

2 miles forward on TV, Wigan getting away with a lot but tbf you make your luck.

That only works if you get away with the same whilst on front foot ofcourse.

There’s little excuse for missing forward passed that are clear cut. Guess the officiating is still not up to standard throughout various competitions.

Anyway I really hope they can turn it around. With a fair amount of possession they can certainly get back into it.

Cheers

18 - 12

18-12 now. Try Phillips.

Hope they can get the win.
