To win this tri n need to do 3 things, 1). Stop McShane. 2). Master their forwards for 80 mins. 3). Stop fireman inventing plays.
When ever we fail on these, Cas have a field day & beat us easily !
But come on trin, we need this win !

I’m more interested in the advise he will be receiving down his earpiece from the other three mentioned.

I can remember Solomona making him look very raw in defense when we expected big things from him but to be honest I'm not sure how many times he's actually played against them in the last few seasons.

I was talking more about Johnstone having a field day against Olpherts when in reality in past games Cas have made a mug out of him (even with his worldie against them the other year).

Pretty sure Olpherts stood him up twice and completely outplayed him last season.

Not at all what happened if you care to watch back. Pretty sure he didn’t stand him up at all.

A great cut out ball from Richardson first try and Matautia pulling out a top draw offload. All Olpherts had to do was put down but it was very much good play by other players that took TJ out of play, not standing him up and Olpherts outplaying him as you seem to remember it.

TJ did pull out the worldie in the same game.

Not many.

It’s been a mixed bag for Tom v Cas. One great try..

When Cas are on form they make all opposing wingers look bad, the way they shift the ball wide is text book and I hate to say a joy to watch.

What baffles me is why people think Cas are there for the taking, I see no obvious signs of that. The Wembley thing is nonsense it’s miles off. The Leeds score was a freak.

If you ask me Cas will be more dangerous and desperate than ever, they will be expecting to win this game.

solomona gave him a torrid time for a couple of seasons but I think I’m right in saying TJ was playing on the right wing and all cas attack went through Gale to him. Think he got a few hat tricks against him

Solomona made a mug out every winger in the comp during the season and broke the record.

Solomona was an excellent winger but almost any winger would look excellent with the service he received. Imagine how many hat tricks Tom would have scored with that kind of service, more than Solomona I suspect.

Well to counter some of the above I`m not expecting too much from Johnstone in this game, he hasn't played in coming up 3 months and lets not forget for a majority of that he wasn`t able to do any sort of training at all.

That said, TJ surprises me every time and I am sure he probably will this time as well and do something absolutely ridiculous however he may take a few games to get back into his groove and that`s okay.
