It was a good team performance, happy overall. Can't say much of the Cas squad but hard to tell in a friendly. Anyone hear the attendance? The tannoy system in the East Stand is still pretty pants.

3079, good all round performance, really like Scott, forwards bossed the middle, when we threw it wide we looked dangerous, only 1 game, not getting carried away but really happy with that performance, as for Cas, a lot to work on there.

Thanks, yes Cam Scott was very impressive very close to MoM for me. It was an enjoyable evening all round and glad a decent amount turned up for Luke Gale.

Hard to assess Cas. They have some holes but we've effectively just pointed them out so they have chance to plug them. They can't start with Westerman at 6. Thought the kid that came on was decent and I think Hoy could switch in there.
Cini who is a big signing for them had a stinker. Scott was just bullying him. But an aussie coming over to that weather is tough going. I'm sure he'll be better in the summer. They had some big hitters in defense but they were really unorganised. They hit Rodwell hard early on but he just kept going and they ran out of steam.
They'll find it hard in SL but we all know they could come and turn us over if we underestimate them. We'll aee

Seeing McMeeken do a solid 65 mins on his first game was impressive. With him Rodwell and Uele, who for me made the best impact on collision, we have a very mobile pack base. Add Atoni to the mix and it’s pretty good. When I saw Watts doing 10/15 minutes and absolutely blowing, and then brining on the mini Hercules forwards, I knew we’d get a strangle hold on the game.
It's never a good idea to get too far in front of yourself especially at pre season stage and I think most Trinity fans definitely fall in to the feet on the ground bracket .
Cas definitely looked let's say a work in progress to say the least so that has to be factored in but at the same time it's very difficult not to be impressed by what we saw last night even with everything on the table .
Some of our offensive play was a joy to watch and way more expansive than what I expected to see this early in the season with the amount of new players we've brought in .
The work done on the training field these last two months was clear to see , it's almost impossible to put some of the combinations we saw last night without some serious work getting done on that training pitch .
Competition for places is another aspect of the Trinity we have today rather than years gone by , just look who we were missing last night to come back in for instance .
Daryl looked a very contented man in his post match interview , he's seen it all in this game but I reckon behind the scenes and away from the media he'll be telling this group of players that they could do something special this season and be the surprise package .
I can't ever remember a time when I was this positive about Trinity and long may it continue .

Hoy is a player that if it’s not going well he goes missing, Westerman as good as he has been is never a HB, the south sea islanders that they have will run through a brick wall but nothing between the lug oils, like you say never underestimate them but I’m sure we will be in a much better position this time around than before when we have met
