Much more clinical performance, best performance since Wembley.
We have enjoyed playing Sheffield this season ...

Rule query: Does a knock on in the act of scoring a try result in a seven tackle, 20m tap. It all happened a bit quick but I don't believe the ball went dead.

Best 80 minutes of the season. Liam Hood had probably his best game of the season closely followed by Ky Rodwell. Max's cover tackle was worth the admission fee alone, and showed the defensive intent to defend the line.

It’s the fact it occurred in the in goal which results in the 20m tap and 7 tackles.

Bit harsh, and I don't feel it was the reason for it being brought in.

It was a much improved and tighter performance than we've been used to lately. Griffin seemed to break the seal on what had been a very error free Trinity game for a lengthy period.
Well done to Olpherts for converting the half chances he was presented with.

Knock-on in goal has been a 20m restart 7 tackle set ever since the rule for the ball going dead in goal attracted the same

Crowd was 4,821

Not bad for a Friday night match when Barnsley were playing their first home game of the season. Not much away support either.

We should get a bigger crowd next week. We don't clash with Leeds or Barnsley. Fingers crossed.

Depends if Widnes bring more than 50 which seems the norm. Even at £10 a ticket the away fans have brought dire numbers.

Very true. I was mainly thinking about more of our fans.

With Donny doing us a favour, it looks like we only need a couple of wins to secure the league. Could the league leaders shield be presented at the Swinton game? Is there a trophy?
