Being a lifetime Trinity fan teaches you. Couple of things... whenever you look at a fixture and a team sheet and think ... that looks good I’m really looking forward to this... it turns out bad.... whenever you think ... oh I’m really worried about this ... it turns out ok!

Up the trinity!

You're right there.
The worst time to be a Trinity fan is when you go to a game expecting to win, we usually get beat, yesterday being a classic example.
Far better knowing that it will be a tough game and then coming back with a win.
Nobody is going to be over confident about beating Hull, so we might just sneak a win

DISCIPLINE
It’s probably the thing that cost us the game yesterday as we basically played 20mins with 12 men..
First sin bin.
There’s nothing wrong in chasing down the kicker but it needs to be the ball not the man. Liam Hood might end up in front of the RFL discipline panel as they seem to be cracking down on player protection..
sin bin 2
Dave Fifita was our best forward yesterday, until the sin bin.. it’s unusual for Fifita to retaliate and I suspect he got provoked… nevertheless he needs to be better than that..as Fev got the exact result they wanted …a yellow card!
Footnote
Get used to seeing plenty of yellow cards and a trip to the RFL this season if our and any other teams discipline isn’t where it needs to be..I reckon they are going to be all over anything that looks high , and late along with punches..especially with the RFL concerns about concussion…

The problem from my point of view would be we will probably be having the same sort of conversation at least 4/5times during the season.
Trinity never seem capable of learning lessons.
Yes it's been that way for years so come on Trinity make some commitment to rectify the problem

They will be all over it but there wasn’t a punch from Fifita luckily. Thought it was harsh at the time and even watching it back on replay it’s handbags at worse. I’m not sure what he got sent to bin for. Not sure why he got sent as he didn’t seem to make contact or very little. You see players grappling with each other getting a telling off and no card. I agree with you that he needs to be better though. Better to dust himself off and go hunting with a hard legal challenge when the opportunity arises.

Neither Fifita nor Hood were called to disciplinary meeting today.

I saw a disciplinary but it said matches on 16th so I’m assuming if they are to be called up it will be next week.

Just watched the game over breakfast this fine Australia Day .... and replayed the two incidents a few times.... Hood came into a player after he had released the ball... but barely touched him, then the Rovers man went down like German soccer player.

Fifita reacted to something in the tackle and gestured to the player he felt responsible before he was restrained... there was no punch, intent to punch or contact made.

Overall the refereeing was sub standard ...


ps the pass from Jowitt to Lineham was backwards

I was stood directly in line with that pass and it was about a yard forward.

Didn’t see the Hood incident, Fafita despite being so far away as I was at the time like you say looked to be gesturing at a Fev player with Seni Lafao simply holding him calming the situation. Nothing in it at all.

Just looked at the incidents on trinity tv and looks like I got the first bit wrong .. Fev player released the ball l( not a kick)and Hood pushed him in the back but there doesn’t look to be much in it..
But players will need to be careful this season because it looks like the cards are going to be out!

Yep, you can't push a player at all now after the ball has gone, literally any contact is going to see you binned, it's to do with the growing evidence from scientific research of the potential damage caused by flexing of the neck. Every coach will have spelled that out firmly to his players.

I agree re the Fifita incident, it's hard to see what the sin binning was for other than marching purposefully towards the Fev player.
