Hope so but sadly I thought Brad O’Neill was scruffy as well. He at least looked sharper in getting out from dummy half though and I thought Powell actually added to us when he came in and seemed to play at loose forward late on.

Agree with that.

An extra pivot worked well.

I thought O’Neil was better than Powell tonight at 9, just needs to be a bit more consistent and not let the concentration slip like it did a couple of times.

Not sure if anyone saw the pre game footage in the changing room but he looked to have an issue with Ellis pre game which Isa was keeping a close eye on and Mago ended up resolving by separating them.

Thank you - a bit of sense.

I'll agree that if he wants to be back up guy, like Amor was for Saints, then let's retain him in that role. That starting spot however, needs to go to someone who's a hell of a lot better.

No point in playing him off the bench in my opinion as he does things (which you don’t understand as you have admitted) that are suited to the early intense battles.

He offers very little impact so would be wasted off the bench.

I didn't say that...

I said we should retain him as a backup, as in 6th choice in the squad like NK suggests. If we've got injuries, then he plays.

The starting spot that he currently occupies, needs to be given to someone else.

Try and keep up.

You need balance in your pack. At the moment Singleton is probably one of our better performing middles as he slows the game down and also takes the sting out of the opposition attacks.

Interesting you felt Atoni went well against Salford..where did you watch it at?

Worst go forward of any Trinity middle and only did 10 carries all match.

I’m really starting to appreciate you don’t understand the job of a prop (as you admit).

Nope. Didn’t have his best night but he’s normal one of our better players.

Great goal kicking tonight.

Tough watch tonight not much else to add really

Re: Salford (H) : Sat Mar 25, 2023 1:01 am  

Good crowd tonight - thought it looked more than the 11,500 announced. Atmosphere really picked up in the last ten minutes as well - be good to get more of that as it dragged us home.

Mago and Isa left out from last week. I can’t say I’m massively surprised. The errors by the pair of them were criminal really. Isa doesn’t mean to do it, he’s just so limited in terms of his handling. Mago just looks like he can’t be bothered bending his back.

Mago doesn’t want to be here mate and next season he won’t be.

Cust needs putting on a plane.

I think his partner, sat on the bench, should be the man with the blow torch on him. Smith is involved, trying things, looks at least like he could make something happen. His stats for try involvements this season back that up. On the other hand, I wouldn’t know Cust was on the field half the time. I wanted to see more from Cust this season but I think we’ve actually seen less.

Cust is never a halfback in the memory of man.
