Not sure about the latter.

But it’s men against boys at present.

I know it could just be one of those games but we don’t look like Trinity.
Injuries are not helping but we look like strangers.

Where do you start with that 1st half performance? A few observations; our forwards don't look up to the pace of the game, Fifita especially. He is carrying too much weight and the new game makes that unsustainable now. They are not covering ground out wide to defend.
Miller is way out of form and we need to give a different pairing a go now.
Gigot offers little.
They look like a poorly coached side, it's got to be said

Quite comfortably the worst I've seen Trinity play for some time. Soft defence, clueless attack, mistake after mistake, and that was before the injuries. Ironically we looked a little more purposeful after them. Catalans are ripping the edges apart with simple play. Hopefully we can stem the flow 2nd half.

From what I saw, Kershaw's injury occurred when Kassiano pulled his leg around as third man in the tackle ....sound familiar ????

for a start off of tell our wingers to stay man on man as two of their tries came through jumping the line, at least we would see who's capable of tackling

Ah well.....

Re: next up Catalan Dragons - Saturday 15th August : Sat Aug 15, 2020 4:29 pm  

Why was the restart from our knock on near their line from where the follow on play stopped?

They were racking points up for fun before any of the above came off.

Abysmal performance, our only hope is Catalans tire so not to rack up a cricket score against a clueless wakey
