We have to get over this TJ blind worship.
He's allowed to make a mistake and still be a great winger.
For me this one was a mistake.
We were on our line. We had more players than they did out wide. Yet the ball was passed to a player stood outside TJ and he couldn't recover.
I still like him. I still think he'll play for England. He wasn't the only one at fault.
No need for the public outcry at the mention of his name.

Err no, what we have to get over this desire to find fault with him for no reason. You're right he made one mistake maybe two but why even bring it up? If there was a player out there who didn't make a couple of errors I'd be gobsmacked yet oddly you and a few others single him out.

I believe it's called 'tall poppy syndrome'.

Grix’s was solid under the high ball

Is that the best you can find to say about Grix?! I thought he was the standout player on the pitch - and that crazy tackle he pulled off probably saved the game; the lads in the form of his life!

There's a lot of negative stuff on here about certain players and yet we got the 2 points ??
God knows what will happen when we actually lose a game.

We should probably give Salford some credit for raising their game and pushing us all the way.
I loved Watson's comment "The good thing for us is we've come to a team which have been talked up as a top-four team this year. The boys have stuck to their task and have shown what we want to be about this season, which is competing against the top teams.

It's official, Trinity are a TOP TEAM !!!

Yeap, I comment on what is see, agreed that he was MOM , I’m a grix’s fan, it’s second game in and over the coming weeks he will prob be as he was last season the most consistent performer of this team, but last night he was steady in a scrappy game, he took 2 cracking high balls in second half.

If Salford had converted their try,s Wakefield would be questioning the decision not to take the 2 point penalties under the poet's

And if Percival had kicked his conversions, Saints would have been in the Grand Final, not Cas. That's how it rolls. Had they scored, people would have been praising their confidence. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Chip paper.

Salford seemed to make far more ground in their sets of six than we did, particularly in the second half when we stood off them at each play the ball and waited for them , thus giving Salford at least ten metres each time. I witnessed this a lot last season too. I Still think we need a Topliss type creative half back who can make jinxing runs in the middle of the field and put players away.
In my humble opinion I also think we need to take advantage of going for goal when we get penalties in kickable positions. It could well have back-fired on us last night.

Tbf expection this too much teams are treating us as tough game not a walk over

Sorry but going for goal backfired on us at Hull away last year and the Cas home game.

So we would have deffenatly scored tries from those penalties given away against the said two ? Instead of taking the easy two points

I thought the opposite. I thought S'au bottled Lyne up everytime he got the ball. Think Arundell deserves a shot soon, he's more instinctive and direct than Lyne.

Me and my dad thought the same.
