It was yusef aydin who got back to make that tackle on ratchford fantastic effort

He’s a quality young player. We are incredibly lucky to have found such a young prop with such a mature head.

If this lad stays fit he’s an international in the making. We won’t need an NRL prop to build a pack around.

There is so much young talent at Trinity at the moment it’s staggering.

Here is a list of those I think could make it, not saying they will but they might. In order of quality from what I’ve seen.

Aydin
Murphy
O’Donovan
Eseh
Greensmith
Bowes
Ruan
Windrow
Butterworth

I’ve lost track of Bailey and how he’s doing at Newcastle.

In truth I could add a few more to that list.

In any normal season the list would be two or three max, some years none!

Truth is there are too many in that list to all get through, it’s not a talent issue it’s a balance issue.

All the same it’s a record crop of talent and I just hope it’s not wasted. I’d hope to see at least four or five of those lads as regulars by 2023.

Yes. I don't mind him playing shorter minutes than the other middles but Ayden has to play every game now.
We are unlikely to go down so the risk is minimal but equally he's holding his own anyway. Good time to develop.

One thing that was quite funny yesterday for anyone behind the posts in the bar or boxes was the coaching team.
When Wolves got their roll on, Applegarth and Lyne both came on telling the players not to panic. The problem was you could hear the panic in their voice.
Not quite Dad's Army but it got progressively higher pitched with every try.

It was interesting seeing who stepped up.
Westerman and Pitts were tge clear leaders.
Both talking sense and keeping the team together. Lino was certainly revving them up too.
Was nice to see.

1-17 were excellent and thoroughly deserved the victory. It would have been an absolute travesty if they'd have won.

Some people think I pick on this poster and I suppose I do to a degree. But truth is I just don’t get the motivation or the logic. I don’t get why he even bothers as oddly I believe he does actually attend games.

I don’t expect rose tinted but to this poster every game is lost and every player rubbish before kick off.

Mostly I just want to challenge his negativity but this Miller thing has really go my goat because it’s unfair and plain in accurate.

Miller is a limited player, he knows that and we know it. He lack the ability to run a game, if he had it he’d be a star in the NRL

However 99% of SL players have limitations and Miller is one of the better ones. He’s become our most consistent player who leads from the front in every game. He struggles when asked to do things he’s not good at, that is poor coaching.

Miller is first on the team sheet for me because you know what you will get and so long as you don’t overburden him he will go fine.

Lastly said poster never manages a credible alternative. He can’t because both Lino and Hampshire also have flaws.

It’s a team game and so long as those three know there jobs they can cover each other’s weaknesses. That’s how it has to be unless Luppy can unearth a few million the club didn’t know it had.

Not sure if it’s possible but I think it’d be quite fitting if Poptart could get you a little award sent out. “Vastman - The big bad bully of RLFans”

Ive had that award since 2002, it’s not true but I can live with it. Rule is simple, you make strident comments you get strident comments back. I myself have been a victim of my own hubris, you live with it.

I thought the first half was the best half of Rugby I have seen us play for a long time. We controlled the ball brilliantly for 30 minutes, the players were all on the same page. We gave very few penalties away, any 6 agains were on first tackle. It was great to watch, then in the final 10 minutes there were a couple of errors that gave Warrington good field position and our defence was first class. The whole team were great but just wanted to note that Arundel and Walker were just great. their decision making was just great and the their aggression in defence was impressive. My man of the match was Arundel, for me the best centre we have. The second half saw a hugely talented Warrington team throw the kitchen sink at us, they had nothing to lose, and our boys came out winners. I don't think it was a fitness thing, we stuck at it, we scrambled and there were some brilliant individual efforts ; Pitts desperate tackle on Williams who looked clear, Yudin somehow getting to Ratchford, Arundel just getting an ankle tackle on the young Warrington live wire hooker. A great win, a great match, a top performance also from the ref and his colleagues, a much needed boost for players, club and fans.

It looks like Miller has avoided a ban for the cannon-ball tackle that he got penalised for yesterday as it looks like the only ones banned this week are Tommy Makinson, Matt Costello and Rhyse Martin ?? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/58217571
