Have now watched the game ob Trinity TV.
Went pretty much to script and shows what a settled side we are (whether that's good or bad we will have to see).
Those players who know they are safe pretty much went through the motions. Randell and Ashurst did the best. Didn't see much wron with Fifita or PP, these are shock players who depent an mmshear grunt and power and as such are never going to play to their maximum in a friendly.
The new recruits in Brough and Kopczak showed touches, just enough to show their worth, King has less reputation so gave a little more.
Those vying to tie down a place looked a bit more urgent in Crowther, Arundal and Hampshire to an extent.
Basically as ever friendlies are a good run out and reasonably entertaining but no guide to the season at all.
Must say I'm quite impressed as to how good a shape Brough is still in. He's a lot slower but still condiderably quicker than Finny ever was so it seems like an upgrade for now at least.
Felt sorry for Kershaw, why some felt the need to highlight what was more bad luck than an error I'm not sure.
By god our pack is big!
