Be nice to win a penalty or error count

Half time report this season compared to last well done boys unbeaten no mean feat every team has off days but good teams win when they don't play their best and we have completed that this season.

In addition we are building confidence of players and building a cohesive unit especially in the forwards. Next season we will be well prepared for the step up in the knowledge that most of our overseas players will have a year of our game and how it's played under their belts

I know I bang on about IMG a lot but our target is now playoffs.
The wheels would really have to drop off to not make playoffs or even top now so any team targeting us will target us then.

My biggest worry is teams recruiting big names at the end if the season and catching us out on the last step.

I think we'll do it but that's the concern.

Yes I agree that is my only real concern especially if we suffer some injuries to two or three of our crucial players

Is anyone expecting us to be at that level this season? I'm certainly not.

So you are saying we should not have a team ready for S L by end of season

By the end of the season, no, by the start of next year, yes.

Dare I say , a bit underwhelming , especially defensively, but we overpower the opposition in the end ,which quite rightly we should do with our pack .Thought we would be very slick in our attack by now ,but still not that fluid going by comparison to the super league sides ,of which we are going to be up against very shortly ,obviously with some great additions to the squad . Plenty of chopping and changing also doesn’t help continuity as Powell is running an eye over who stays and who we say goodbye to come season end .

Lack of pace down the middle of the field is not helping to get a slick attack as well

Basically, we win due to the individual superiority of our players rather than any coaching input/expertise?

I don't think you should dare to say... if that's what you think... then say it, although I think you are being disrespectful of the competition and the opposition players.

my personal view is having supported the team since around 1975... I can honestly say I have never known a Trinity team so dominant in a competition we have played in... and I've seen them compete in lower divisions plenty of times... half way through the season undefeated an with a positive points difference of 344... one cup final where we destroyed the team running second in the competition by 50 points... I am anything but... underwhelmed!
