Re: Hubb v trinity ko 8.45t : Fri Oct 23, 2020 7:00 am  

Last night is the reason why we all bitch with each other on this forum regarding all things Trinity. At the end of the day I think it is fair to say we are all united in wanting to see the team compete in games and better still win them .Lets all enjoy a good all round performance over a team that I love t see us beat. For what its worth I am sure we will also get a win against HKR on Sunday.

Last night also proved to me this squad has really under performed and is far more capable as a unit than the results of the 30 to 40 games suggest. We certainly have something to build on and the recent press battles and negative media comments may have been something that has made parties from all sides take stock. I hope we move forward from here. We must recognise there are still many short comings and many areas that need improving, both on and off the field. I just hope the club directors do what they need to do and act in the best interests of the club . Building a side that competes in every game next season starts here and now.and the effort and commitment the team showed last night is all that the supporters ask I believe.

One last point, I must congratulate the Sky team responsible for providing crowd sound effects for not playing a recording of a cow bell

Hampshire needs to play full back or not at all. Weak link tonight and definitely not a half back.

What the heck does Max Jowitt have to do at FB to make people like you realise that HE is the best FB on the books? Why think you can just dump him after a performance like that, to accommodate someone you feel isn't performing at HB? IMO Hampshire had a good game and his kicking was generally good.

Have to agree about Jowitt.
The lad has done nothing other than bust a gut for the side whenever he has played and yet, seems to get kicked into the long grass at the first opportunity.
Up until Millers "ball steal" at the End, Jowitt was our MoM and was outstanding.
If he'd had a Leeds or Saints shirt on the commentary would have been showering praise galore on the lad.
Defensively outstanding and the ball out to Johnstone was better than our 2 halves have managed in the last 10 games.

Drinking a glass of water isn't a big deal generally, however drinking a glass of water after walking in a desert for a few hours will be the best experience you've ever had. Its all relative. All is not rosy, I dont think anyone is saying it is. There are so many things to work on, our attack is so unorganised and panic ridden, our defensive reads are more often than not poor and we wilt under pressure. Our edges are badly exposed. As soon as Sezer got a knock he was ineffective and that really helped us. Never the less the effort and work rate put in deserved the two points. Losing is a habit, that win will be a confidences booster for the players to take into the next game. They may lose, but that's sport.

Oh, I have been underwhelmed with Miller for the past few seasons however tonight I though he led the team well. His ball steal was great, but his reaction when his teammates wanted to celebrate the hit was even better. Had we got aset of six instead I'm not sure we would've scored.

That's when he's at his best. He's played like that in big games before but when you just need a metronome 7 who keeps everything ticking he needs a partner.

Max was one of those two half backs.

I agree PT, but he also needs to show a level of consistency in his own performances as well. When the lad wants to play he is brilliant, his off the cuff running game and his defence is up there with any other 6 in the league, hopefully if we can get a good organising 7 then he can just concentrate on the things he does well as you say.

I thought it was alarming a farmer from Pennistone outplayed David Fifita but other than that a great win.

Sorry it seems to be such a dissapointment to some people on here,
