alegend:FOREVERTRIN:
Typical Trinity performance,we had it and we lost it! Dumb football, and it's so frustrating.When it came to the 'hard slog' part of the game we came up with crucial errors, and it cost us in the end.Can't fault the lads for effort but we're lacking a bit of quality, especially in the kicking department.Got to keep reminding myself that this is a 2/3 year project but every loss hurts badly.
We are missing quality ,hope the signings for next year are at least one quality and winger ,some of our backs looked to be treading water in attack yesterday ..As the grounds dry out our forwards seam to be getting stronger and faster ,but the pace in the backs seam to be getting slower ..Think the last try Catalan scored sums it up for me Lino was the only player to attempt to get across to stop it ,.no winger , ,or fullback in sight. The running chances are wingers are getting because of overlaps are not happening. .Think it needs more than a fully fit Truman to fix it .It needs some quality While the team are giving 100 % like yesterday you have got to get behind them .But maybe we are not as good as our first four games suggested .
Who created those running chances though?
Max Jowitt mainly with his work off the ball creating the extra man and space on the edge from full back. Something we lose completely when not there. There?s a reason Max is regularly putting out assists to the edges.
Russell will hopefully come onto the wing next week but the writing was on the wall with Scott on wing last week so it?s a real head scratcher why he was there again with two actual wingers in the 21.
What?s Nene McDonald doing these days.
I?m fine with the left edge but with no left pivot or full back who creates space we are starved of any creative play on the left presently. I do think Trueman will make a big difference.
I think for the sheer amount of ball the right side is getting that edge needs to be doing better.
