Yeah i'm aware of the general difference between a prop and a second rower!! The game is littered though with plenty who have converted from one to the other, i just wasn't aware he was an out and out prop, i had it in my head he had played back row for the reserves? but i could be wrong, usually am! I'm surprised he hasn't had more chances, given Sid got injured, Aydin on loan, and we've brought in Butler and Bowden. Obviously Willie doesn't think he's ready for it yet.

No problem at all. I watched a fair few academy games last season and he always played prop so I think he’s an out and out prop. The fact he’s not really been exposed to first team much at all is probably why he’s been protected. I like his style but I think he needs another big off season to fill out a little bit. Don’t think he’s yore ready.

He ideally would benefit from exposure to the championship like Eseh has next season and get 15+ games under his belt. This would help his game no end imo. A team like Keighly who are coming up would be an ideal place for him to go on a season long loan next year. Would help offset a new deal and help him develop. That’s what I hope the club do.

I see that we are behind the sticks tonight rather than in that pokey corner. They must be expecting a decent following.

I'm looking forward to this.
I do think we can get the win but Hull's pack is massive and if we let them get a roll on we'll struggle.
We have to get our wings in the game.

We had some success v Wigan by getting the ball wider from the ruck and it should be effective again.
However, we dealt with Saints pack and Catalan pack pretty well and Hull aren't of quite the same quality.

Same defensive intensity and we should hopefully pick up another W.

Come on Trin !

I’m nervous. Funny, one win and it all comes back to that feeling in the gut.
Been a crap season but would be great to come home with a wet sail.
Up the Trin

Well we did last season which would be good but it cannot be allowed to cover up the many on field problems we have with the squad.

I don’t think it’s been a crap season… there are many games this season I’ve enjoyed… a couple of forgettable games… but we’ve overcome a massive injury toll … blooded several talented young players… watched some players disappoint and some emerge…

We will lose a few at the end of the season and a few will come in… in my near fifty years as a fan I think this rates as an average season… (83/84/85/94/95/01/05 immediately spring to mind as worse) but with some very bright lights (Murphy Hall Aydin, Whitbread… and even though he’s on his way out I think batch has been a stand out character and should have been captain of the team)

I’ll be awake early in the morning to watch the game with the same enthusiasm I had back in 75 for my first season

Like a squad not good enough to cover said injuries despite being lucky with Hall and Murphy. We have still only won 7 games and are once again fighting for our survival. I am sure you will be able to explain why this as been the same for the last three seasons.
We are not alone to have injured players but we have been the second worst team to cover the losses. This suggests we’ve had more than any other team which we haven’t or the squad strength is not good enough.
