Just want to add in that I was impressed with Lino yesterday. I have been one of his biggest critics on his performances this season (which I stand by). That said, yesterday he played off Luke Gale well and linked in well with attacking plays. Well played for him and the pivots.

If him and Gale can keep working on these combinations with Jowitt then I will be one happy fan. So long as we have a Gale or someone who can do what Gale does then Mason will be able to feed off that.

Otherwise, 1-17 need praising for the attitude, application and skill levels. That was one mighty fine performance from the pivots, edges and forwards. Was a pleasure to watch and even when things didn’t go perfect they fought to turn the momentum back in their favour and rolled up the sleeves.

Looking forward to seeing them play Hull.

Work hard and play smart and you’ll get the results.

A mention for Senior.The lad keeps coming back here to help out,without much acclaim,but certainly took his chances well.

This club will be the death of me.

"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in"

Up the chuffin' Trin.

That was a great performance and credit to everyone involved on and off the field

The addition of Fifita, Gale and although not playing yesterday Dagger has been immense.
Innes Senior seems to split opinions but the lad is quality IMO. He gives us height to defend and aim a kicking game, has genuine pace, is a finisher and gives his all everytime he pulls the shirt on.

I’m still unsold on the coaching front, 4 wins from 21 games is very poor but 4 wins from the last 6 is very good. Maybe it’s down to coaching or maybe it’s down to the added players like Big Boppa galvanising the team and generating some spirit.

I have to worry about next season when we probably won’t have Fifita and quite a few will be a year older eg Gale, Ashurst, Pitts and Co. If we are to get new owners who are ready and able to spend on the squad then I’d like to think we will have a coach who can make them greater than the sum of their parts, I’m still not sure we have that.

My thoughts exactly @ The Avenger

Just watched it on TrinityTV (having missed it yesterday) and have to say what an outstanding performance that was to make the so-called Warrington Super Stars look like a bunch of amateurs. Brilliant 80 minute performance from 1-17 plus the coaching staff...our future is in our own hands now

Agree Avenged think the same, though funny how the attacking and passing as improved so much since Ford left ,and Gale came to the club

For me there is only 1 common denominator in the uptick in form, and that is Dave Fifita. More than happy to be challenged by the rose tints but Dave was the catalyst. Ford leaving didn't do anything, there was no sign of life. I expect that Gale was able to provide some guidance early on, but that sheer energy and belief only eventuated when DF turned up.

The guy is infectious. People around him can't help but be energised - he is even giving Runoff 1:1 time and as a result you can see Proctor rising in stature.

I wonder if there could be a coaching role available?

It's never only one thing.

Dave's arrival is absolutely the spark that started the fire but there are more influences than that.

Gale clearly has an impact on and off the field. You can tell how much he's into it when you watch the latest winning song video compared to the first. He is very much a leader with enthusiasm.

We are running shapes and setting game strategies that are working now. That isn't Dave. He's just giving the enthusiasm to get behind it.

Fixed for you.

Wonder if they have the Ted Lasso "Believe" sign up above Mash's door?

For me, Jowitts return has played a massive part in our upturn in form, his final pass selection is class, I genuinely think he is one of the best FBs in the league for linking into the line and throwing that cut out ball, IMO with him in the side for those close games early on they would have been different.

I agree. Jowitt is a key part of our attack.
And now he's getting better service he's really showing his class.

In contact, running with the ball, Langi has definitely got essence of Tupou about him.

I dunno about Gale, bit of a flawed genius, he's knocking it out of the park atm and the team is with him and each other and bringing their own A game, but it always feels like his next drama is just around the corner.
Still, if he can just keep it rolling to the end of the season without upsetting the yin and yang, we might just pull it out the fire...

What about me and thee. The crowd behind the team, following the 'better' performances, certainly will help the cause.
Compare the current, with earlier in the season, in terms of noise etc

I agree.
We need Belle Vue to be a fortress and the crowd is a big part of that.

Jowitt is class with the long cut out pass, my only concern is defending teams are becoming aware and will risk leaving a gap by going for the interception, that Wigan winger last Saturday on tv noticed the long pass coming and made the interceptions, it can work for or against you.

It didn't yesterday....

Not long after Ford has left we saw some improvements in attacking play. It was rumoured he was looking after attack. For whatever reason (probably a few) we have dramatically improved ball in hand.

For me it’s a combination of a few things but obviously the coach has to take some positive rap for the structures we are playing to.

Gale and Fifita have obviously lit some fires.
The coach has the structures in place that the players appear comfortable with.
There must be a lot of hard work going in from the players and the back room and it’s showing on the pitch. Long May it continue.

The players are certainly putting pride into the shirt and it’s heartening to see every player clearly busting a gut to make positive contributions.

Wasn't Gale out injured for a dashed good while after arriving - and then cup-tied against Leigh - a game DF played in?

Unless you're an FC fan, not everything is black and white.

I thought Max’s pass selection on Sunday… and in general… was excellent… however the space is created by clever and deceptive dummy runners… that the team hit Ashurst and Langi consistently and damagingly was just as important.
The shape that was created in attack was genuinely impressive… well done to all … hope it’s the sign of things to come!

Think most of Jowitts cut out pass go behind the player who he cuts out .Agree it is interception chance ,but more so called world class players have had passed interception. Think it is about time we stoped nit picking about players, about our team and got behind them after Sunday.. There are players in the team that I do not rate ,and think we need a more experienced coach but when I can see 17 players ,put pride back into the shirt like they did on Sunday think it is about time we give the Coach and team a chance and give them 100% support at the ground and on this forum .The next few games are going to make or break this season they need every body on board
