| I don?t see peoples infatuation with playing Max at 6.
He is head and shoulders the best full back and we just lose too much with him not in his natural position. Further proved his contribution in scoring the try that brought us back level.
Why people want to upset the spine more I don?t know but I get the feeling it?s more to fit Rourke into the team. I like Rourke but he?ll have to play elsewhere while Max is fit.
I agree about the wing spot and Pitts though.
More importantly we need another halfback to link between Lino and Jowitt. Once we have this I think our attack will begin to fire and execute much better again.
The simplest answer is just to bring in a 6 and your spine is back to 100%.
If there?s no 6 available to bring in we will have to use one from academy or reserves short term instead of Pitts.

If he does have bulging discs then he's done for me, having just had mine operated on, I have suffered since 97 and my back has been in pain ever since, only time it wasn't was when I had the injection but once that wore off I was twice as bad because I hadn't been able to feel any pain in 2 months and overdid a lot of things.
Much as we need him back I'd hate to see him put his future health at risk. Hopefully the club will take the best medical advice they can and help him reach a decision about his future...hopefully as a player.

He?s obviously got youth on his side, and disks can heal themselves conservatively via injections etc, it?s just how long it takes. The thing that worries me is if it?s a chronic persistent issue and not just an acute issue and how badly it?s herniated and if it?s impinging on nerves etc. From what was deemed a ?sore back issue? a few weeks back to know knowing what it is, it?s obviously fairly serious. There?s a massive difference between a sore back and your actual vertebrae herniated (neurological). He?ll be in some right discomfort (you?ll know) and won?t be able to train (Powell said he?s currently not training because of the pain) so will be way behind with fitness, hence why I think he?ll be a while away yet. First and foremost, Trueman?s welfare is the most important and hope he?s ok, he?s been absolutely blighted in his career, and genuinely can?t wait to see him back on the field and keeping injury free. He?s such a talented player but simply cannot catch a break. You look at DCE for Manly who in his glittering career has only missed something ridiculous like 15 games, that?s obscene. With losing Russell for god knows how long, we look so 1 dimensional in attack (where ever Lino is the ball goes, especially on the 5th) we either need to promote from within or get someone in, can?t be any worse than what I witnessed on Thursday night.

I've only been watching Rugby League (and supporting Trinity) for a few years. This has both good and bad points to it. The downside, is that there are still plenty of things I don't understand. Exactly why does the ref award a penalty, or not? Or award "six again", or not? And I don't yet totally understand what constitutes offside. I recognise some of our players, but not yet all of them! And a few other things. The upside of all my ignorance, is that I don't think about anything too deeply or go into the nth level of tactics. I get a feel for if we're playing well, whether we're making lots of mistakes, or if our players just aren't managing to break down the oppo. But unlike football or cricket that I've been watching for a 1000 years, I can't put my finger on exactly what we should be doing differently. (apart from obvious things like not dropping the ball!) Anyway, what am I leading to here? The bottom line, is that I just enjoy the moment and the game. On Thursday night, for nearly 60 minutes I had that horrible sinking feeling. We were going to lose to Cas yet again, our season was in danger of stalling or losing that bubble of optimism, another home defeat, the table was going to soon read played 8 lost 5, It's funny how quickly you get emotionally attached to a club. (oh yeah, and for good measure I was facing a long miserable drive home - and no doubt there would be overnight road closures to send me on some wild goose chase round unknown villages, just like the last night match I came up for). And then it all changed. Suddenly we looked better, attacking the North Terrace, the noise rose. A try and now it's really noisy. Another try, disallowed, sh*t. Then another try, fantastic. Oh sh*t, nerves again, Jowitt's got to get this conversion. He does! Now it's seriously noisy. It's all us. Except they nearly get a dropped goal. Oops, I forgot they could do that. Then we get ours. Absolute bedlam. But still end-to-end. One mistake and we could lose this. Unbelievable noise for the last few minutes, then it's all over. Brilliant, fckin brilliant. This is why I love sport. Sing and shout, I just about lost my voice. What a game, what a night, what a result! (and just for good measure, there weren't any road closures on the way home!)

Awful performance. We were as Dull as dishwater to watch, 1 up rugby for large parts. Our intensity and kicking game again absolutely stunk in the first half and improved in the second. If that was a top 6/8 team we were playing tonight we would have absolutely been blown away again by half time.
To say this was our derby game, our team looked to have the intensity of a local Lawn bowls team.
I'll have you know Pat that Crown Green Bowls can be a bit feisty.....

Thats a really good piece you have posted, more than 7000 trinity fans going through the same emotions On Thursday night, for nearly 60 minutes I had that horrible sinking feeling.

That?s a really good piece you have posted, more than 7000 Trinity fans going through the same thing all at the same time, the despair, then hope, then the elation with the crowd making so much noise even where I sit I the East stand the noise as the drop goal went over was fantastic.
