I've always preferred Bill Topou to Reece Lynn, but haven't seen much of Trinity recently, and missed last nights game.

I’m a Tupou fan but last night was his second game back after a knee reconstruction, and now he’s out for the season again. A bit of a risk, as much as it is bad luck for him.

The Wakey three quarter line gets a lot of injuries.

Mata’utia is going to be an absolute player for us.

2 top notch signings.... well happy with them.

Re: Holmes & Matautia : Sat Jun 26, 2021 1:21 pm  

Mata'utia is looking to be a good signing, after another impressive game last night.

Re: Holmes & Matautia : Sat Jun 26, 2021 2:41 pm  

I thought some of their backs towered over our forwards last . Big ,useful lads.

In Powell we trust.

I'd forgotten about Atkins.. Just shows how players fall off the radar.
Very strong, but didn't get his winger away often enough - I think that was the main criticism of him.

But Chris Riley (and Rhys Williams for a season) scored a lot of tries playing outside him and they weren't beneficiaries of the Briers bombs in the way that Hicks, King and Monaghan were.

Didn't Hodgson (& then Ratchford) do the majority of their attacking work on that side of the pitch?

Really pleased with the way these 2 players are looking.

Holmes always seems to play well in the big games and stands up to be counted when it matters.

Matautia looks a really good centre. Strong and solid.
Percival didn’t get a look in last night. Doesn’t take a backward step and best of all,
always ready to be first in when a bit of biff looks likely.

Matautia doesn't seem to like that little grub Bentley, so he has gone up in my estimation.
