Was Jowitt injured?

Don't think jowitts injured but it's prob the perfect time to give him a few games as grixy hasn't looked comfortable at the back last 2 games. Not a criticism as such as he's been great all season but jowitt went well in his last game and if we are going by form then it's max's turn.

Gives the moaners an excuse not to buy season tickets or subscribe to Club 1873.

And say 'I told you so'.

How anyone can't be happy that we are one win away from securing our top 8 place with loads of games left, which will lead to Batch, Max, Jordan and any other promising juniors being given game time without the pressure or threat of the middle 8's looming.

As someone who lived through watching Trin in the old second division I very much doubt that seeing Grix have a another defensive stinker, would make me throw the towel in just yet.

I was lucky enough to see the 60's team of Trinity. However those years you mention were really grim and that's when we lost many fans who never returned.



Even so we have had our share of grim times in SL, so one away loss is nothing at all, can't understand all the fuss from some people.

Especially when all of the gloom is around sending a "squad player" out on loan and keeping a promising youngster in the camp ??

Walker wouldn't have saved us on thursday, even if he could have played as an extra player.



Let's hope that Cas inflict some damage on Hull tomorrow and give them a real tough workout.

If they struggle physically and with the shorter turnaround, we may just have a chance

It reminds me of the 62-0 drubbing of Wigan last year....they had a bad day at the office then, but they picked themselves up, brushed themselves down and went on to win the Grand Final !!

There's no reason why we can't do the same

Sometime on this forum there is an astonishing lack of honesty - see the Embarrassed thread for that.



So lets honestly decipher what Leedscat says and then decide if he's a total fool or whether this is just another 'lets make the word a nicer place' thread. Please imagine i said that in a sarcastic tone.



Most of the anger seems to revolve around young Crowther, and Leedscats saying he's not up to SL standard and not as good a Batchelor and whether his playing made any difference. to the score.



1: At this moment he probably isn't SL standard, that would be why he hasn't got many outings. So 1 - 0 to Leedscat. That begs the question, will he ever be SL standard. Well loads of coaches think so, all more knowledgeable than anyone on here so back to 1-1.



2: Is he as good as Batchelor. No. Batchelor is a freak, he's almost certainly the most complete 19 year old forward in SL - hardly denies Crowther a future does it. 1 - 2 to the forum.



3: In his initial post I can't see where Leedscat actually blames Crowther, rather he states what he perceived as a lack of ability. It's important because the former is opinion and it's a wrong one. Though despite what some say Crowther was on when Salford scored from memory and was partly at fault for a second half try (sorry haven't watched it again yet, to painfull), however it was a 50/50 that even Nigel Bell or Ray Price might have missed in their prime. The latter is subjective, if Leedscat doesn't rate him then that his perogative. I do but lets be honest he's yet to play his 'arrival' game - to be fair he needs to soon, thats just the nature of the game, I'll call it a draw 2 - 3.



Overall then he's wrong in what he said though his poor attempts to justify rather than be reasonable have not helped him.



However the truth is Leedscat is actually a total maggot - why? Because he refers to Crowther as 'Jordy'. That is a term of endearment used by people who know and rate the kid - not people who put the knife in. You see this guy will be the sort of wally who continually slags young players of, but when they make it comes on stating that he was one of those who doesn't mind admitting he got it wrong. You know the sort, total fake. It's not acceptable to do that, you either back youth and give them every chance or you demand we sign other clubs cast offs, you can't have it both ways.



So Jordy, don't worry, keep plugging away and it's not over til the fat lady things - we all get our moment and we all develop at different rates.



I'm 55 and still waiting on both

.



As for the rest of the team, simply jaded, depleted and not up for it. Salford and especially Lui were on fire in the first half almost unplayable. I suppose credit that we kept the score that low. Hirts knock ons and Grix now two match inability to catch a ball were the glaring errors but it went much deeper than that. Just a bad day in the one competition we nearly always fail to perform in.

Not sure what honesty has to do with it, he voiced his opinion on Walker being allowed to leave and unfortunately made the mistake of comparing him with a junior player, not very bright thing to do but never the less it's his opinion, which in the great scheme of things is trumped by your opinion, and fwiw I don't recall seeing in the opening post anything concerning Batchelor.



So by your own admission he probably isn't SL standard and a very generous decision of yours to award him a point, baring in mind that was his original point, It would be interesting to know who these loads' of coaches are, excluding those on here, but once again playing to your rules where only your opinion counts you award yourself another point, well done.



You have criticised the OP for comparing Walker with Crowther then go on to compare Crowther with Batchelor, who you then for some reason go on to call him a freak bet his mum and dad will love that, guess what another made up point for you, seeing as said before the OP never mentioned him.



Once again that's very generous of you to call it a draw after admitting it's his perogative to have an opinion even though his is wrong and yours of course is spot on.



Popular opinion on here would judge him as being wrong with his OP myself included, I'm sorry but the only person on here what's made a poor attempt to justify him having an unreasonable opinion.

It's not that long since certain posters on here were bagging Reece Lyne and look how he's come on this season

Lyne as always had speed which helps

Yes but, he WAS in a similar situation to where Crowther is at the moment, the potential was always there, it just hadn't risen to the surface, yet
