| Quote ="Trojan Horse"Looking at the squad. I guess the main question mark has to be who plays on the wing. TJ is always a tough opponent so I’m split on whether to give Lineham another shot or go with Kershaw/Taufua. I’m kind of leaning to Kershaw as he has good yard gains when bringing the ball out which could be a big advantage in this game.
Jowitt
Murphy
Langi
Hall
Kershaw
Gaskell
Lino
Whitbread
Hood
Battye
Ashurst
Pitts (move to LF at 30min)
Proctor
Kay
Tanginoa (move to 12 at 30 min)
Atoni (Prefer him as impact prop)
Eseh Time for this lads SL debut
I find it hard not to include Crowther. I’d consider starting with Proctor at second row but the issue is I don’t think Crowther or Proctor can do a full game which would really affect interchanges.'"
I'm happy to keep Butler. Thought he did ok.
And I'd play Hall with Murphy.
I'm easy on the wingers. I like Kershaw and would have had him in last week but I'm not sure he'd have faired any better.
Murphy actually made more individual mistakes for me but we need him for speed if French and Field are playing.

I was very torn on Butler and Eseh. Butler run it hon very hard on a few carries but didn’t get too many minutes. If Butler continues to run it in with that effort then I’m more than happy for him to get some game time.
I wouldn’t be against Hall and Murphy on the left either.
Tanginoa has to play if he’s fit though.

Not a problem this week, as he's not in the squad. When fit, for me, he has to be in the squad/team, as he brings so much energy and leads by example.

| I would like to see more of Butler - when he first joined he looked like he wouldn't last at all. towards the back end of last year and the Catalan's game, it feels like he needs to be given more of a shot

| When it comes to opposition wingers we are a team that just keeps on giving and have under Chester, WP and after Friday the current coach. We change the players but appear not to be able to stop their wingers from scoring multiple trys. It appears to be a conundrum we just cannot rectify.

| Quote ="Kettykat"For a start off get the ball kicked deep, why we are kicking to the oppositions 40 is beyond me , talk about giving a team a leg up , get it down near their touch line every time . Kick chases need to be faster , which will dramatically cut down their options ,Mourgue has far too much time on his hands ,as well as general line speed .Les Cats did everything that but faster and it told in the end . Simple fixes … I hope so , get up to speed with the oppositions and your in the battle , sit back and it’s a long shift with only one outcome . Wigan are a shadow of their former selves, but are still a well drilled and organised team and will take some breaking down , but get up in their faces and you give yourself a chance . Oh and more ooomph from the forwards and give our back line a chance .'"
From what I watched on Friday the reason we can not get a decent kick in is it is all panic kicks .Our spine did not get one player through a gap ,make enough room with ball in hand to get a overlap for attacking play .Will go as far to as to say we have the worse and slowest spine in S L .When or if Hood comes back does it make us faster in attack .Jowitt should go to 6 (looks now like the only player who can go through a gap and great cut out pass ) Lino at 7 ,and young Bowes at 9 .This seams to me the only way from a poor squad .to get more speed in the important parts of the team to help us compete in S L .Only a friendly but when a championship team can nil you in the first half shows something is not working

| I’ve got that feeling that this could be one of those games we really turn up and bag 2 points.

| Surely will have learned valuable lessons from the Cats game , and positive it will have be drilled into our kickers to keep it away from their speed merchants or high enough to allow our lads to hit them the minute they receive it , oh and if we concede make sure their out wide that way it 4 points , instead of 6 . Can’t play any worse and I feel they’ll be up for it to prove a point

All last weeks try’s were out wide. The defence in the middle was not broken once in 80 minutes and was almost perfect. It’s the wide defence (mainly from kicks that needs addressing). Conceding anywhere should t be acceptable.
Agree about the kicking though. We need to be challenging and have a plan on that front.

But if we’re going to concede against Wigan it’s best outside as they couldn’t kick for toffee against HKR so it 4 instead of 6

The season has just started and we were in the first game within final quarter. It could have been 2 points against what is a top 4 team.
What is with all the negativity with a section of trinity fans like the worlds just caved in. The positivity can’t have dried up already surely.
I just feel people are been far too negative. The telling point for us is between round 3-9. That will define our season.

| Must admit I saw nothing against Catalans that made me think we'd get anything from an away trip to Wigan. The performance largely reminded me of what we've seen over the past 3/4 seasons. Little go forward, unforced errors, leaky edge defence, slow distribution from DH, no real game plan, slow defensive line speed, no pressure on the kicker.
It will take massive performance from all our pivots and forwards, in fact everyone. Truth be told beating Wigan away isn't going to be the difference between staying in SL or not, but it would be a very nice little bonus.

That last statement I hope is very far away from the teams and coaching teams mentality. Every point does matter and could be the difference between relegation, play off rugby and success or failure.
