Ronan Hit his head on the ground whilst being tackled, no foul play or blame with anyone, just a freak accident.

He was airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary where he underwent surgery for his injury, he remains there in a critical condition.

I've coached against Ronan for a number of years and have been his coach at Huddersfield for the last two years. He is a strong character and a superb young man, all at Wakefield Trinity are thinking of him and my prayers and best wishes are with him and his family at this really difficult time.

Think he got the point and did apologies - we all make errors of judgement so let him be please it's not worth a spat.

If you posted early and didn't see his response fair enough.

I wasn't implying any criticism just signposting what had been written about what's happened

As I say fair enough, I'm certainly not in a position to lecture - but these forums are rife with well meaning advice that seems to go wrong if you know what I mean.

Anyway that's my Mother Terrasa act of the day done

Oh and just to bring up another subject......
Finn won the game for us today.

Great win and just what we needed. The boys manned up and did what they had to do. Tbh most games this week have been fairly dour affairs, from what I've seen and read but tbh I'm not bothered a win is a win. So when was the last time we did the double of Hudds, must be years.

Oh come on! He kicked 2 goals I could kick when I was 14.

If he was to be marked on today's performance for his organisation which is apparently his strength according to vastman a 3 would be generous. We looked clueless, predictable and unorganised in attack. I don't think he drew a defender before he passed the ball once.

His kicking in play was very good today, however.

He hinders the attack with ball in hand something chronic. Howarth is the same with ball in hand - slow at passing and indecisive. However, he was immense in defence. It's brilliant we won the 2 points but it was so dire to watch from both teams.

Scruton had another good two stints today. A player who I've criticised in the past. (Look Vasty! I do give praise when it's due!)
Was a very workmanlike performance. Other players who played decent were Sio and Lyne (another I've criticised in the past.). Lyne was outstanding today and looked a lot more aggressive than I've seen him before.

Think we need more runners off the ball and to back players up more often. I understand it was bad conditions today but too many times throughout the season do we fail to do things like support the runner.

Hope finn can keep that level of kicking in play up for the rest of the season. It was much better than games of late.

Can't wait for the Leeds game on Friday with Simon, Fifita and Moore back.

He can't have. He's clearly too old and slow for SL

Seriously though, he out kicked another top SL kicker, 3 from 3 and a try assist with his grubber, plus excellent game management.
It mat not be spectacular but, Finn has been absolutely solid

I wasn't there as I don't go to Shudds - so for those who were, was it a truly awful game, or was it a combination of good defence and poor conditions?

And according to the always magnanimous Anderson in his after-match interview, Kirmo was "a mile" off-side for his try; was he?

Not that it matters much - 2 points is 2 points and I do love putting Shudds to the sword; once more for the treble, and a decent cup run!

Re: FT Giants 2 - Trinity 10 : Mon Jun 13, 2016 8:30 am  

Never mind - just watched the highlights; no he wasn't offside. It's not like Anderson to whine about something like that to disguise his own shortcomings.
