He could have been on the wine again!

The legend was defending us though, not sure if that's good or bad.

To some extent, it's fair comment. We've had four games we'd like to think we should win on our current squad and form. We'll hit a sticky patch at some point. Leeds are looking good, as are Saints. I think the plus we have is that I don't think Cas will blow people away like last year and Warrington look really hit and miss, and more miss than hit.

A sign of progress is that those are four teams are regarded as easy beats, whereas that was us most years.

Slugger, Cas got of to a bad start against a brilliant Saints on the day. I thought we beat Hull fairly comfortably last time out to say they were missing only Houghton. Rhino's only just got over the line tonight and Hull had about 5 of their first 17 unavailable. 4 injured plus Watts.

We’ve played the same sides as Saints bar Cas. No idea why folk, trinity supporters no less, put the team down?? We’re not at our best, no team is, but we’ve achieved maximum points and should be going into every game full of confidence.

Faraimo, Kelly, Watts, Houghton, Paea, Bowden and lost Manu early doors too

Firstly, there are no easy teams in SL.
We've beaten 4 teams in games where, probably a couple of years ago we'd have lost at least two of them.
All that, and I don't think we have peaked yet, by any stretch of the imagination. Much more to come I think!

I seem to recall Hull being out of the country the week prior to playing you, do you think that this had an effect on them agin you? I know, you can only play what is in front of you

Re: Backchat : Fri Mar 09, 2018 9:45 am  

Im happy for Marwan to write us off and he's right that we have played 4 of the "easier" fixtures.
However, we have 8 points on the board and that's all we can do.
The first "big" game is on Sunday and we will either have a reality check (if Wigan do a job on us) or, people will start to take Trinity very seriously.
In a way, it could help us to get beaten (although nobody wants this to happen) as the opposition sides may continue to underestimate us. However, winning breeds confidence so, lets prove Marwan and all the other doubters wrong and get over the top of Wigan.
Even their fans think we have the better pack and if our forwards can do a job on them, we'll all be happy on Sunday evening.
Trinity have always been at their best when written off or underestimated

Come on Trin !
