His best game in a Trinity shirt by a country mile.

Please please please continue this form and attitude week in week out RB.

Great effort, performance and commitment by the fella and he actually attacked the line with pace and aggression which was excellent to see.

Long may it continue.

I think he tried to do things tha would pay off and work at the junior level. He will soon learn and games like that can only give him confidence which is crucial.

There's nothing wrong with the things he tried to do but the time and the place were wrong. His attempted offload came after we had been under sustained pressure and he was on our 40mtr line with 30+ minutes left in the game. It could have been one of those game turning incidents that seem innocuous at the time. When you trace back to where you began losing the momentum you often find such a mistake at the foundation.

Experience will teach him better but I hope he carries on trying to make offloads, just when it's the right time.

Correct.

I hear Jay's doing a bit of coaching so that will help him understand and learn, he will make a very good player IMO.

said the same thing. wrong time but the right idea. offloading is one area which i feel we fall behind the other teams, although it may be the game plan to maximise ball retention i suppose.
really like the look of pitts, he seems pretty mobile for a big lad

This kid is class.

I know it's not quite the same level, but I remember when Henry Paul came over, he would try some things - sometimes they worked, sometimes they didn't, but Toppo didn't stop him, he just helped him choose his timing better.

One day Pitts will be able to do these things in the mans game - and get away with them, and I reckon that's not too far away!

So long as he practices his grubbers a bit more!
The one at Wigan
Far better judges than me have said he will go a long way in the game, hopefully with WT, but he's got to keep working hard (perhaps taking Gareth Ellis as a role model) and don't read these boards!
