So, let’s kick this off.



How do we think this will go?



Are we expecting the team to bounce back with a determined performance after being humbled or will we still be reeling from the first loss?



Let’s discuss.

Expecting a big reaction from us, Fev are hot and cold and some of their fans aren't happy with ford looking at the socials.

I think there will be a massive improvement.

We could really do with Lino back though!

Half backs not good enough for championship at this time!

Looking more at the performance than the result.

Minimize penalties and errors.

Well thats keeping the penalties down out of the window. Be prepared to spend half the game totally mystified at decisions

Although you're right, a loss will knock confidence and increase it for our rivals.

We need a strong performance and a statement victory.

Totally agree, this must be the first priority. We really need to get this stuff out of our performances

Most important is that we win however we do it and get back on the horse.



I agree that we need to be better in discipline. For whatever reason we are more often than not on the wrong side of the penalty count. Some of the decisions have been confusing and in my eyes incorrect however they are still happening. We do need to tighten up in this area but I have noticed players becoming increasingly frustrated with officials and questioning decisions (sometimes rightly). This however needs stamping out internally and we need to maintain composure and drive. Not too long ago we could have a penalty against us and be confident of defending our repeated sets if needed. We need to focus less on officials and more on the game.



Otherwise, just tidy up the sets and respect the ball. Not dropping it cold or throwing Hail Mary passes or short bullet passes when it isn’t on.



Prior to Wembley our biggest strike was Uele and Rodwell coming off the bench. We need to return to that imho. Uele is still having good impact but Rodwell really shined coming off the bench with him. It worked and we went away from it.



I like Kay but we need a half. If Lino isn’t going to be back next game or so then we should be looking at the loan market.

We have to be (much) better than last week, that's for certain.

I havent seen the completion stats but, we were shocking and there was zero from either of our halves.



Having aid that, back at home, in front of a decent crowd, I'm expecting that we will win by 12 points.



Come on Trin !

We win the completion rate and penalty count and we win the game. Imho

This isn’t often the case though. Many teams have won with less penalties and completion rate. It certainly increases the chances of a win though.



After last week though it’s a good starting point.
