Enjoyed the 2nd half, flawless rugby played by a team who knew they had a game a few days later. Pinned Cas in their own half constantly who actually defended well to the end. Laying on, flopping, being offside, not square and grapple tackling helps though. I thought Child had another top game though.

Hendo was awesome, hit-ups galore, half breaks and at one point the plodding Westerman fooled the whole stadium with a dummy but not Hendo who smashed him.

Good Trinity turnout too to say Cas brought no more than 400.

One concern though was why the stewards were only letting 1 person out of the ground at a time and then left when the fans were getting hostile? The gates were opening outwards instead of inwards and fans were getting crushed.

Me too, worst game for us in my opinion tonight - and his shortest sting (last 15 mins of first half and first 20 mins or so of 2nd half, when he hasn'y seemed troubled by around an hour in previous games). You have to question the plan of starting with Korki and bringing Tronc on after 25 mins, why would we start with an impact prop and leave our grafter on the bench for so long?

Pretty dull stuff for me, but a big improvement on last weeks poor effort and the right decision drafting in King for Gledhil.

How did Danny Kirmond play?
Fot those interested, Danny Brough had a stormer and got MOM with 2 tries.

Went ok Ponner, no better or no worse than any other forward IMO.

Went off near the end after looking uncomfortable in himself I thought, was holding his leg and looking over to the bench. When he did go off he ran quite quick across the field and didn't hobble off badly, so not sure what to make of that?

Pleased for you that Brough went well, start paying off some of that transfer fee.

Danny did well considering he's only been with us a couple of weeks.

Good on Danny but you'll get the downside to it as well.

With no disrespect to Cas but Wigan have a far more formidable pack and holding Tronc back would seem a sensible option to me

Agreed and throw Gledhill into the mix, unkown player for Wigan to deal with, makes sense to me.

Maybe, one theory I suppose.

Yup, rotate him for King.

you might win something this year DB but will in time bring it to another level unless brown can tame him, from your score looks very impressive but then we too got two points
