Trinity Trash the Vikings in Dacia Opener : Sat May 20, 2017 3:37 pm  

Trinity Trash the Vikings in Dacia Opener This weekend rugby league landed at St James’s Park in Newcastle for the Dacia Magic Weekend festival with all twelve sides playing out round fourteen in front of the SKY cameras, a good stadium crowd, and the countries sports media. First up was the Saturday lunchtime encounter between bottom of the table Widnes Vikings and sixth placed Wakefield Trinity. It was the Yorkshire side who were the firm favourites to continue the Vikings misery. The big news was the Widnes debut of the troubled Rangi Chase, signed mid-week on loan from the Castleford Tigers for the remainder of the season, could he be the catalyst for a Vikings change of fortune?

Our defense was really good. When they came in to the game we kept sending them back.
Great to see.

Apart from a 15 - 20 minute spell when Widnes tried to throw it around and chance their arm we were in total control. Game management has been a whole lot better, respecting the ball and basically sticking to the game plan. The defence has hugely improved too, not getting carried away, I really fancy us against anyone. As David Fifita said in the interview, we're a bit under the radar, nobody expects us to be where we are. Keep it going guys, 2 more belters next weekend, let's see if we can deliver against Hudds and Wigan.

Thought we had another gear to go as well, really good performance for me. Grix added another good game, great to see him prove his many doubters wrong again, very astute signing.

Thought the ref had a shocker of a game as well today nearly as bad as Rangi but it was nice to have the benefit of most of his blunders.
