Has Paulie Paulie done enough to get a place in the 17 ?

I think he is getting better each week but not yet the wrecking ball I think he could become. That said he takes four defenders to stop him near the line so that gives us opportunities when he gets a quick play.

Personally, I think more game time the better he'll be.I can see improvements particularly in that last game to his first which isn't a surprise really considering what he's come back from.

Saying that it's a long season and if CC wanted to go with longer minutes and work rate and fewer meters gained per carry, you could bring in say Baldwinson.

More than enough.

Also the mans a penalty machine but in a good way. He's won us a fair few penalties because opposition players seem to feel obliged to hold onto this man mountain far longer than even your average SL ref will tolerate. He and Fifita really do drag the defence in and every game both PP and Fifita are getting quicker to their feet, In the meantime England, Huby or Hirst do the straight up and at them stuff.

That was someone at the RFL having a joke:

Providing everyone is 100% fit, it'd be harsh on Hampshire but I go with both Wood and Randell. For such an important role, having two specialist hookers should give us a bit more sharpness around play the ball.

I'd also be tempted to go with three props on the bemch again. Wigan are always an aggressive side, but we can more than match them up front. That'd leave Kirmond or Horo to sit this one out.

why did we change a team that has won 4 games straight.

I'm sure CC will ask your permission on future.

We changed it last week? Did you not notice or does that not suit your agenda??

The ignore button is great but I still have to see it when people quote him

Just a special mention to all the Wakey fans who turned up yesterday thanks brilliant support

Very good following although we only just got in as the game was kicking off.

Some problems with the coaches going on a mystery tour of Wigan I heard?

It's a lovely place though, well worth a tenner for a city centre tour

Yes I was there just got there before ko , the suppoters bus organisation needs looking at because setting of at 1pm is bloody crazy

Not giving any time for hold ups then. Once you get within the stadium area it takes ages to get to the car park.

Last time I used the buses for Central Park was for the 2004 play off game. Think we were 14 nil up by the time we got in. Just got in to see Chris Feather spill the ball and it was all down hill from then on. Jinxed it!

Wigan is an absolute nuisance to get to. Always give it an extra hour just in case after Eng v NZ test match in 2015 took me over 3 hours to get there. About half of that was local traffic. Couldn’t get in the car parks, had to park about 15min walk away and missed the first 20mins, I was soaked through and my trainers leaked.

Was that when Ashley Kline was the ref and Korky and jefferies both got sent off in the first half?

I think you're thinking of the Hull game just previous when Kirkpatrick sin binned Ellis and Jeffries at the same time. It was Russell Smith reffing at Wigan???

Definitely Klein who reffed the play off game against Wigan.

Fair enough. I must have a dislike of Kirkpatrick burnt into my soul.



(Later that same day) I've just checked on You tube and it's Russell Smith for the Wigan game and Kirkpatrick for Hull.

2004? I think I may be getting confused, what was the game I am.thinking of then, Wigan away and Klein had an absolute stinker one of the worse ever seen. Could have sworn it was the play off game. Getting old memory is not what it was.

Think the Klein one was when Brian Noble was their coach and they were near the bottom fighting for their lives, signed Stuart Fielden too. Klein gave them absolutely everything that night. I keep all the games, should have it somewhere in my library of Trinity matches.

Was that the one where we were in with a chance and they blew the hooter with 2 or 3 minutes still showing on the clock???

The play off game was when they didn't even bother going to the video ref for a Trinity try. The other match was when we were both near the bottom and it was the most blatant bias referring displays I've seen think it was the season cas went down.

Up the Trin
