I dont agree, in general, we have a decent pack that should hold its own with anyone. I am happy with 1 to 5 . However I do have doubts about our halves. I think our fate lies in the hands of Lino,Russel and Truman, I hope Powell faith in all three works.

No one has said it is going to be a cake walk.

I'm interested to know who you think we should have signed?

It certainly won't be a walk in the park.

There has been a few blow out scores this weekend, and there is what looks like a bit of a gulf at the moment in quality of some clubs.

With what we have so far, I think we have a competitive squad, but probably not top 6. We know there are some to add, and who knows, we could have some surprises up our sleeves. I do keep hearing that Lino is going, and if that is the case, would not be surprised to see another half coming in.

Having read some comments on SM after we clinched the shield, there has been a few salty comments from the usual suspects, and wouldn't be surprised if some under estimate us.

Possibly the most important position on the field is hooker and that's where we need to strengthen,imo.Hood has been a good servant but
we require better in SL next season.Doyle is looking like he's got what it takes but next year is possibly too soon.Same with Smith,but further away.Not sure if he's available and we could fit him in,but as I've mentioned before,Parcell would take us to another level.Forget age,he looks as good as ever and doing nearly a full game for KR most matches.

I think you are misreading optimism for hubris... but i get it... optimism is a rare commodity amongst Trinity fans

You must not have watched the second half of the season

Let's not exaggerate, he had 3/4 good games but still wasn't as good as a 34 year old who'd retired the season before.

He looks leaner and is playing well this year, but we need to remember the quality of the opposition. He's a lot to prove in my opinion.

He does, but then he's not guaranteed a starting spot either.
Uele, Rodwell, McMeekan, and then Atoni and Vagana fighting it out for the last spot.

I'd say he's well ahead of Vagana at the moment. Vagana was unlucky with his injury so I think it'll be next season before we see the best of him. Showed some good signs today though.
