Whispers is all they are I reckon.

The theory makes no sense if you think about it. Unless Batch is deaf or stupid which he isn’t, he knows that in 12 month Trinity will have player facilities that will be as good as any in SL.

Full gym, warm up room recovery/physio room, meeting rooms and a 24/7 pitch that they both train and play on all year round. Thanks to the 4G pitch we will train in the same facilities we play in, which in player terms will be top notch.

Hull and Saints may have great grounds but I don’t believe that’s where they train. According to Danny Washbrook Hulls training facility was a RU ground with very basic facilities.

As far as I know only Leeds have a dedicated quality training ground of their own but I may be wrong on that.

So facilities and set up are not the issue, as ever money is. After recent efforts I suspect it’s about to be less of one.

Interesting debate about Pitts … (haven’t seen highlights yet) but my other team (sharks) have stared using Wade Graham as edge forward at the start of the game then using him as a middle from the first or second interchange… and it works well


Good win btw… nice surprise to wake up to!

Talking to the guys at the match with me and we were talking about whats changed to get us the wins.
Personally I think Poaching called it a few weeks ago.
He said we weren't far off and training was good but that we were losing our focus as soon as the game went against us. Which meant we were throwing silly passes and jumping out of the line and straying from the game plan.
That's exactly why we won today. We bombed plenty of opportunities but stuck at it and came home strong.

Maybe but for me we won one against Hull that we were lucky to win and that gives a team confidence.

We were far better today than last week because we seemed to play with real confidence. We looked up for this game from start to finish.

Coaches need to be lucky as do players at times and Pochings came last week when Gale fluffed two drop goals that normally he’d get with ease. Don’t think luck played much of a part this week, self belief did.

Batch outstanding but without doubt the key play of the day was the Murphy tackle. Fantastic pace and desire to track back and not only complete the tackle but also force the error.

Thought a few of the lads who needed to improve have over the last 2 weeks. Good, Ashurst, Batch and Tanginoa in particular have picked it up.

Huge result especially with Cas doing us a favour.

Win at Magic weekend I think we should be safe.

Surely you didn't expect any thing else.
Think next years derby's are safe now.

Tbh I wasn’t that bothered about Batch either way as his style of S/R are fairly common. However his sudden mastery of centre play puts a whole new spin on it. For me he’s now a more valuable player than he was three weeks ago.

Long long way to go to being a centre of Tupou or lynne’s quality in both attack and defence , two well taken tries ,but old man Widdop breezed passed him for his try

True and I’m not suggesting Batch move there full time. However in the modern game versatility is vital for all players but especially players at clubs like ours.

To be able to play S/R and LF is handy but to be able to move to centre if needed is hugely valuable. Basically you have a forward and a back in one player in your 17. Rarely do teams have the luxury of a centre on the bench.

So to me that’s added greatly to his value.

I really hope Batch stays, he's one of our own.

To come back so many times during a game and then snatch a winner shows true character

Well done wakefield
