Quote Spookisback="Spookisback"my thoughts after watching the game twice..
mike Mckmeeken adds so much by being just out on the pitch... His influence tonight was off the scale...
The middles (after a sticky start) equalled and sometimes bettered their much vaunted opposites.
Vangana had his best game in a Trinity shirt.. He added impetus from the moment he took the field.
Caius looked more settled and his contribution to field position set up the opportunity for John Stones try.
I thought the halves were excellent, particularly with ball in hand (the kicking game wasn't great but neither was HKRs so I think the wind played a part in that)
defensively we look so organised.. Two weeks running we concede our first try to a fluky kick.
ollie Pratt grows every time he plays... May that continue... Big effort from Hall considering his sickness.
Max Jowitt is fast becoming the best full back I have seen in a Trinity shirt in 50 years.
And the team energy is outstanding!'"
It seems like we mostly drew the same conclusions - apart from how we thought our halves went. I thought they were okay shifting the ball, but thought Russell in particular kicked poorly. Swap Trueman in and we win that game, in my opinion. Overall I'm proud of last night - we're going to be alright this year, especially when we get some bodies back in spring. Imagine our side with Scott, Trueman, Hood, Nikotemo (or Griffin) and Rodwell back in it.
