Yes and at the weekend he was on first name terms with Tanginoa whom he seems to pick out. Let's see on Sunday

The only 3 names I heard at the weekend were Kelepi… Jacob and David !!!!!!!!

For anyone intrested and didnt know after the game on sunday the academy origin game will be taking place sadly dont think a wakey player will be involved due to injury but may be a good game,add i been at match i would of stayed and watched

The only way this ref is going to influence the game is if we give him the ammunition to do so,imo Brody Croft will have far more influence on this game than the ref , and will need close attention to negate it .A clique I know but error free play and a low penalty count will see us home in this one .

I’ve actually been relatively impressed by most of the reffing I’ve seen this year.

The only shocker for me was the Leeds home game where the first half penalty count did seem excessive even when I watched it on TV.

That’s not to say it’s great. It’s still far to inconsistent. Not just between refs but also a single ref will openly ref two consecutive games completely differently. The latter drives me mad. How the hell do you prepare for that!

Spot on.

Fine sentiments Kk and I hope your right, not about Brodie Croft obviously

but about the ref, lets hope that come Sunday night the conversation on here is about how well we've played and the fear of relegations been put to bed and that whistling Jack Smith doesn't get any negative comments to monopolise the thread.

Sounds like there is a few making the trip.

Like folk have said £20 decent price with decent weather. Hope that sways a few more to travel

There are 3 of us going. Nice stadium and hopefully a win.

three of us going too.

Good pricing esp with there been a second game would of liked to have gone but ill be up at Newcastle cheering on the reserves instead

Another 3 of us East Standers going early, calling for a meal at that pub near the ground, I think it’s called the Barley Farm, I’ve been there before and it does get other trinity fans in there.

Think that’s a chain including silkwood/birch wood farm pubs. Hard pass on the food if that’s the case for me. Convenient location though.

Once ordered a seafood dish which tasted really bad and chewy. Was told they’d made a large batch in the morning and it basically got reheated and wasn’t fresh. Think I’ve only been once since lol.

Well it look like Leeds are learning what it is like at the bottom with tonight’s game.

Big game this if we can take the points we move above Salford and Leeds with the possibility of Warrington too if Hull beat them. That's potentially 3 places for team a couple of weeks ago had been written off by the media and a few on here. Hopefully with a bit of confidence and up against a weaker Salford pack we may just dominate. Clean up the silly penalties and mistakes and it's game on.

Some mind games by Salford going on and I hope we don’t fall for it.

Yeah they have only named 19 but the 17 who will play look handy enough.

Rowley probably knows Trinity don’t respond well to the favourites tag. Let’s not fall for it, this is one tough game!!!!!

I thought the exact same. Load of rubbish. They’ve pretty much got their starting 1-7 out while we have TJ, Tupou, Lyne, Kersh out.

Their forwards are still handy too. Definite mind games and that isn’t a team to be taken lightly.

Their only missing their second row from their original 13.
They are no mugs but equally, they have been a bit hit and miss in the forwards so there is a big chance for us.
We can't allow the backs to play with no challenge like we did against Leeds.

Come on, 1-7 is decent, although they are without Sarginson & Escare, but their prop rotation is as weak as i’ve seen in a long time, every one of them is championship standard as are their hookers. They also have a centre at second row as they have nobody else. Lose this and we deserve second bottom, we should and will win it with something to spare.

Your not learning from history there SC.

One we shoot ourselves in the foot more regular than most.

Two, we’ve stayed in SL by winning with makeshift teams.

Three, that seventeen for Salford is good enough to beat half of SL when at home.

2 good wins then the next game normally trinity get thrashed ???

I’ve always had a think with Salford.

After a brilliant start to the 1989-90 a Tex Evans insured Salford bought is crashing down to earth.

Always stuck with me that game.

I think I know what you are getting at but the game I always remember was at Huddersfield when we turned up in large number after a string of victories only to be thumped with them scoring over 50 points if I remember correctly

Minns and Croft in centres.!
Batch and Hall have been going great. Batch moved to loose fair enough.
Hall must be an injury. Have we won a game with Minns playing yet??

Pleased for young Croft hope he goes well !!
