Hmm. Not really.
There were flashes of something interesting but as a game, certainly for a Trinity supporter, it was pretty boring as we couldn't get near their line.

Do you come to Trinity for entertainment? Or do you look at a game for what it is? And possibly get behind the u17 s that played today? Or the Reserve players who fronted up against Hulls best players? Mark obviously has a plan with the preseason. If at round 10 we are terrible, then have a problem. Not now, when our kids are making up large numbers of the side!!

| I kind of get why some people are somewhat miffed by this game ,it certainly had me questioning the logic to it all .Is a drumming good for the kids that were on shows mental toughness and resilience, or does it deflate them , I’d hope the former ,because if they get called upon that’s what their going to get , it’s dog eat dog .So I can see it from both points . As a paying fan it wasn’t a spectacle I’d like to be seeing from our club on a regular basis or care to remember , but if the coaches got what they wanted out of this game and it helps going forwards , I’m in .

Battye looks like he's looking to be the best prop at the club. I've liked him in every game.
Kershaw is right back to his best. He and Murphy are first choice wingers to me.
Hall looked classy when put back to centre.
None of the kids in the backs really impressed, without being disrespectful, as they need more time, but a couple of the forwards went pretty well I thought.
Proctor did what he needed to but was flanked by a couple of weaker defenders so difficult to judge.'"
I think we will go with Murphy and Lineham on the wing but, more than happy with Kershaw

| I was lucky enough to watch the game from the benidorm flats - an invitation I couldn't resist, except that half the others present were Hull fans haha! No gloating from them though, although there's no doubt Hull played some cracking rugby!
Some say what good does a hammering like that do, well in my opinion quite a lot!
For one it's brought us back down to earth after three fairly comfortable wins and that's not a bad thing. Secondly, and I strongly disagree with some others posters here, I saw a lot of promise from those young players out there and some did good things that will enhance their game. Joe Law did some crunching tackles for a young kid and none of them shirked in effort. I think for the entire second half the average age of the Trinity team was about 20, and yet the floodgates closed a bit in the second period.
This game was NOT a pointer to what's coming this season, but it is a pointer in what's coming in future years and there's some good young talent at Trinity.

I thought Taufua unfortunately looked poor yesterday, missing tackles and came up with a clanger in the in goal. Think it might take abit of time to recapture form, but he looked off it, even for a friendly. Got to be Lineham (never thought I’d be saying that but pleasantly surprised) and Murphy. Lineham walked passed me before the game, I’m 6:3 and 17 stone and he made me feel small, he’s a right unit and has been really running his weight in preseason.

I agree 100%
It will be interesting to see how Murphy goes, after the offer from down under.

| Interesting comments from Mash about the match and how he takes full responsibility, some nuggets in the interview though about the number of players he put in who have not played Academy yet and are still in the scholarship. A great experience for these lads and something they wont forget including the score! On a positive note though what does this message about the Wakefield scholarship say? my answer chances are you will get a game at high level very early on, can only be positive. Young Harvey Smith got MOM and looked much more mature as a player than his age would suggest.

| Struggling to draw many positives from what was simply a shameless earner for MC's coffers yesterday. Heard from a mate in the hospitality that MC even made a joke about it being so and that Mash was miffed by the 4 friendlies. Nice touch to put the ticket price up also. £100 day out for me and my family - bought tickets before the squads were released so not really an option to not go. Having to buy food from that scumbag in the burger van charging £8.50 for chicken and chips, and then stands in front of you eating chips from the heated display, not wearing gloves, so we can all share whatever was on his hands.
The positive? - that Harvey Smith lad. Wow. He is going to be a cracker.

Well I think he will be eating his words after round one I think we will really give the French a game, they have a few out and have lost a couple of their front rowers to Wire etc.

Got to admit seen 3 of the 4 games and not a lot to get me excited, Think we struggle to get across the field to cover wide out, and think we lack speed in the middle of the park to move us forward. Will try to get down to every home game to support team but only because I have done it for 67 year .

On watching Hull game they exploited us running in back behind the markets at pace on tackles 1,2,3 before spreading the ball out having drawn us in.
Difficult to judge anything on that game though with such a mix of players.

Is he that winger that started for Saints, small guy who was more bothered about his hair style than his playing ability. Think he moved on from Saints and played for a few clubs. If he was around today, he wouldn't even get in Wakeys team as a winger

Well, like you I have supported Trinity over 60 years, and during that time I have learned that friendly games are a very poor guide as to what the forthcoming season holds!
I saw some senior players getting a run out without getting themselves injured and some very promising youngsters given a run out.
The serious stuff hasn’t even started yet!

| Hulls second try given by officials despite Kershaw protesting (correctly).
Maybe IMG should focus on improving the officiating or technology in the near future as it’s just incompetence. Remember Joe Burgess try vs us last season where he was about
2 yards in touch and was also given.

| Could see from hospitality he was in touch. Embarrassing. Kershaw did a brilliant job to scramble back and stop that.

Let’s hope the officials don’t continue to make blunders like that when it really matters.
