Jowett was the man today

Outstanding performance from the team ,a few silly mistakes that were capitalised on by les cats was all that separated us on the field in the end . Proud as punch for the lot of em and the coaching staff who combined went over to France and gave as good a performance as I’ve seen even with our so called stars sat at home . Couldn’t have asked for more, effort ,enthusiasm , in bucket fulls and the future/season is looking bright at the club knowing we have these lads to step up to the plate and pushing the first teamer’s for a place .Roll on saints

I told you they would do well

You wouldn’t want to play that team every week but anyone with any RL nouse should spot that there wasn’t a player on that team sheet who wasn’t going to take it seriously. In fact I don’t think there is a player in our squad who isn’t up for it regardless of ability level.

This will be the key and hopefully narrow loses will become narrow wins.

Great effort, especially from the youngsters.

Good thread this
Very proud of them all, genuinely thought the ref was awful but loved the never say die team spirit.
Max was immense, but credit to all concerned.

Max is your typical confidence player. By that I think he needs to feel believed in rather than playing brilliantly all the time. I thought this might be WP biggest asset.

I’m not a CC hater but I did used to cringe when he used the lack of money as an excuse. He was correct but nobody wants to here that least of all the players.

Tactics etc are just the fine detail, the most important job of any coach is to convince all his players that they are good enough. Do that you stay up and eventually you win things. That and a chunk of luck.

Ref was poor wildthing but we made some schoolboy errors at crucial times which les cats capitalised on and cost us in the end . Not taking anything away from the lads they did us proud , but for me that was the difference

A loss that feel like a win (almost).
What a stunning effort from 1 -17, makes you proud to be a Trinity fan.
Jowitt was the best player on the park, for either side and young Walker wasn't too far behind him.

Forwards really stood up and the backs played some great rugby

And Catalan didn’t. Sorry but I hate the term schoolboy, they are just errors and all teams make them, even Saints.

So sorry again but I do think your raking it away from them.

I think he’s right in what he’s saying.

Silly things like running behind your own man, we were all taught not to do it right from the off so how it happens numerous times in a professional game is a schoolboy error.

Ashurst knocking the hookers hand on the 5th tackle, on our line was a schoolboy error from a senior player.

We can’t pin the loss on anyone in particular though, I hope it doesn’t come across as that’s I’m trying to do. There were good and bad things from everyone.

Very impressed overall with the fact the younger lads especially wouldn’t just roll over and take it, despite a frustrating ref.

Just hope we can flip the result going forward and make sure we come back with the points.

I’m more bothered about Miller!

After yesterday, Walker should be in the halves next week. No if's but's or maybe's.
