Opinions are brill, however, in the fev match, fevs forwards supported the ball carrier & interposed with each other far more than we did. But I accept. that we lasted longer than Fev, from 70 mins !
The next match on a decent pitch will show if we can play more expansive ?
Absolutely we can play much better. I didn’t think trinity were playing anywhere near their capability vs Fev, we will hugely improve as the season progresses imo.
I disagree about Fev’s forwards imposing more than ours. It was pretty even however there were some telling battles in the middle which Trinity just about won. Vagana and Springer went at it all game and Vagana came out on top.
Watching the game back on YouTube the result was about right. What held trinity back was ball control and discipline. Fev really only scored because we were caught cold on a tap following a penalty on our line and same again later. The try’s from Fev were not a result at all of Fev’s forwards and supporting the ball carrier.
Let’s not forget this team has 12 or so new signings plus some young lads so they’re still developing combinations and it will improve over the season.
