I`d like to say I never saw that coming.
But after the Cas game nothing surprises me from that Leeds team.
Probably the worse performance I have seen since the Agar days.
Without being disrespectful and considering you have not even looked like winning a game we should have won today.
Full credit to Wakefield who played with belief and desire whereas Leeds were so disjointed it was embarrassing especially as you had 12 men for what 20 minutes.
Sadly we have a coach who cannot select the right players in their right position and apparently cannot get the team playing to any structure.
Bet you and Cas would like to play us every week?
Well done on the win.

We’ve got one of them too.

The difference today was that we played a simple game and played with confidence.
You can't underestimate Fifita's motivation but I thought Proctor led the team while he was on. They make a good partnership.
I thought Smith and Dagger did everything faster. They didn't do anything sparkling, they just gave people outside a chance. Not sure I'd bring Lino back yet.

French lad on the wing was important too. Did everything right. He wasn't TJ or Murphy but he just made good decisions and took his chances.
Hewitt put some great hits in, as did Croft.
I don't think anyone had a bad game really.

From Leeds point of view I thought Blake Austin did enough to win that game twice but was completely on his own.

I would add the name of Eddie Battye to those deserving praise.
He had a superb game.
Proctors best of the season and generally I thought they all played well, ok Leeds were rubbish but so were some of the others teams we’ve played this season and lost to!

I agree. I forgot him but actually he could be my man of the match.
He did long minutes and really made great yardage for us.

Main difference from other games to me was urgency, in that we showed some, and that stemmed from Bowes. He should keep his place over Hood.

Too true, I don't know what people see in Hood.
As a matter of interest, Is this the first time that one of Hood Gaskell and Lineham has not been in the squad, what an improvement without those three.

Re: Team v leeds : Sun Jun 11, 2023 5:34 pm  

Anyhow back to today, Great win which I never expected. I is hard to believe that some of the guys out there had improved so much. Proctor looked a different bloke, Battye put a huge shift in, Smith looked more like the bloke I watched on boxing Day. But without doubt the reason for all this is Big Dave, he has brought a new sense of purpose to the squad.

Onwards and upwards

What a great day to be alive. Chuffed to bits that so many of the Trinity Faithful turned up to witness and enjoy that.

Re: Team v leeds : Sun Jun 11, 2023 5:38 pm  

The game was amazing. So many credits to the team. Ok. Leeds cocked up several chances but you play what’s in front of you. Hopefully we can build on the new partnerships. Smith and Dagger. Hoodathunkedit.
Eddie Battye was superb. Proctor actually got stuck in.
Some players now need to earn a recall.
Brilliant.
Up the Trin!
