Leigh didn't have to be good tonight and I'm not taking anything away from them.
Pratt did have a good game and looks one for the future (whether it's at Wakefield, who knows) but he will be better when he passes because he blew one if not two tries tonight, but I put that down to inexperience.
All in all I can't wait for this season to be done.

Definitely bombed 2 tries ,but youthful exuberance to blame I’d say , Tafua was stood with no one between him and the line , a simple pass one have surely ended up with the points . Will certainly learn from his experience and hopefully will be a mainstay of our team for years to come .

Another pathetic showing from Atoni ,did nothing for 20 mins .....highlights Jowitt signing and Pratts debut.....

When you see how hard and direct Leigh’s overseas forwards take the ball up it’s beyond embarrassing, as bad a signing as you get for an quota spot , and some of Jorge’s decision making tonight was farcical for a veteran NRL player

As I say, if you want praise then look at your own forum, we aren't here to wax lyrical about the
opposition, we don't need the boot in from other supporters, especially right now.

I've already said i'm not looking for praise, and i haven't put the boot in either.

Proctor was our best player tonight no errors I can recall, other than disputing a decision from Thaler that turned a scrum into a penalty and a six again for holding down when he chased down a Leigh player on a break (possibly saving another try against). Pratt had a far more impressive debut than Windrow. Happy that Atoni stayed off and let Eseh get some decent game time.

Taufua was just awful.

Expecting us to accept that we should lose to 5th place Leigh while praising how well you are doing
certainly feels like both. Apologies if we, as Trinity supporters don't feel too charitable to other teams
at the moment.
I certainly didn't come on to the Leigh board when Trinity were beating Leigh during your
'lean' years to expect praise for Trinity.

Give over. As soon as any match is won by Leigh you are scouring the opposition boards like a school kid that finally handed his homework in looking for praise for the mighty leythers. After our game when we didn't give you any, you and your mate posted well done to yourselves! I know you are finally making a fist of it in superleague, but it's embarrasing posting like a dog looking for scraps on everyones boards.

Re: Squad Vs Leigh : Fri May 19, 2023 9:57 pm  

Agree that Pratt bombed a try when not giving a simple pass to Tafua for a stroll in.Having said that he would probably have dropped it! The guy was an absolute liability tonight, and sad as it is he just can't do it anymore and shouldn't be in the team.

I think the post was more to highlight that we are incorrect to assume we should be ashamed to lose to Leigh. I am sure some of our own contributors have highlighted similar about us on other club’s forums. I accept not this season because we haven’t won a game but just stretch your imagination to the maximum how do you think the supporter’s of a team will feel if we beat them. I know it’s hypothetical but one can dream.

There's no shame in losing to leigh, that's not what I said. But getting thrashed at home is pathetic. Especially when they didn't have to work for most of their points

I just cannot believe we have gone from having two of the best winger's in the game ( Johnstone and Murphy) to two of the worst I have ever seen (Lineham and Tafua) in just a few months.

I agree
A very sobering thought indeed
