Feel sorry for Brough and hope he is ok.
However, that "performance" was disgraceful and in so many ways was a lot like our opener at London last season.
KR treated it like a cup final and while they were less than good, Trinity were absolutely shocking and without being too disrespectful to KR, who were very good value for the win, we were just garbage.
We looked under prepared, lacking in cohesion and utterly bereft of attacking options and ZERO ball control.
I'm sorry and I know it's round 1 but, that was shocking.

Well done KR, who knew how to beat poor opposition.

Cup final? Both teams had major injury blows and both teams 1st game ?Chuck in lots of debuts and strong winds making handling tricky it was typical fare early season imo. Your team got few head knocks and the Brough injury in game made it harder but we as a team defended much better than previous seasons.Minikin on Johnstone and Quinlan and Brierley made tackles that just wouldn't have been last year.SKD and Linnett look solid so we have the hope of being better than last year albeit early days. I see a few Wakey fans complaining they don't get any credit from oppo fans when losing to you but plenty doing the same with us? I don't think either of our teams will trouble top5 but still think both are comfortably better than Toronto. We will see, good luck for season

When I look at the KR squad it just looks very mediocre bar one or two.

I think you'll find most of us adults put him right though before the game.

No we haven't...I think you have mis-understood him....we can only dream of what you have, but hopefully our stadium issue will make some progress later this season

Think our overseas signings are decent but obviously a lot of young new lads brought in by Smith so hard to judge at present.Im not reading too much into it other than a welcome 2 point tbh. As for Wakey Fifita is a massive loss if unfit,a real beast of a forward Bad news about Brough but Hampshire to HB and Jowitt FB may be a sharper look? Chester reminds me of James Webster as a coach.Nice guy and good player but just can't see them kicking and screaming in dressing room when it's needed and generally placid.Saying that he's had hands tied by injuries that don't look like easing anytime soon.

Fair comment.
I rate Tony Smith highly and I think HKR will make good progress under him.
When Trinity get the preferred first team out on the pitch, that is the time I will judge them. When was the last time we could do that? and we're not just missing one player or two the whole squad has been decimated for months. No other team in SL has had the problems we have had with key players missing for so long. Squad players can fill one or two perhaps three injury spots but we've had it far worse than than. We desperately need the likes of Fifita and Arona back on the park.
