Don't get too critical or disappointed of Trinity losing Animal it was coming for a few reasons.

Injuries, shortage of cover if Lino or Gale get's injured in the halves. Some big lads up front not fit to play, 2 early injuries to Thornley and Rodwell and on the day most players not performing at their normal level. And the heat also playing a part, which Toulouse are used to. It's a team game you have off days. it happens!

Just look at the Super League table and the number of losses other than Wigan of 5 or more.

Assuming we will be back in Super League 2025 it will be a very fine line to be in the top 6 or bottom 6.

Leeds continue to disappoint all their supporters for many seasons, Huddersfield like wise. Hull making panic signing, players who are playing on reputation not current form, like Hardaker.

Hull KR doing great, but yes, St. Helens and Catalans down to 4th and 5th spot respectively, so it's not like Acido has said same as, it's not.

Wakefield are planning well with a mix of quality, experience and youth on long contracts, and individuals signings are vetted to minimise the risk of wrong personality signings. We are still short of 2-3 Super league quality signings and also the need to keep a few 'old heads' like Griffin and Pitts to give us strength in depth.
