Boxing Day game will be played at Wakefield.

Bit gutted actually. I enjoy a nice early game with a hangover.

not been to one for about 4 years. pointless game nowadays just an A team run out, crowds have gotten lower and lower, good excuse this year to put it to bed.
personally i don't understand the need for pre season games nowadays, with full time pro's. They do contact and opposed sessions in training, and there really is not such a thing as match fitness for them, as they are fulltime. but i can see them being usefull for fringe players staking a claim.

Will Arriva buses be running? Specifically the 110?

Leeds Rhonos? Good moaning......

Would anyone really care if this was cancelled forthwith

Yeah, me for one. For me and mine, its an excuse to get out of the house after Christmas day, blow the cobwebs away. get some fresh air and watch some RL. We get a first view of any new players and young prospects, meet up with friends and have a beer. Is it a great game, or a predictor of the season to come? Not usually, but its still enjoyable.

Yes they would but this pathetic negativity seems your stocking trade. It's a bit of fun at Xmas if you don't want to take part then don't sodding go

As I said to the other one, don't come your sort of moaner are not welcome anyway. All Leeds fans who want a pint and a few hours away from the in laws are more than welcome.

Crowds haven't got lower by the way they have stayed fairly uniform, all healthily over 10k.

Just as a matter of interest do you think Leeds are so wealthy and the game so strong that it can turn down a decent pay day in the middle of winter and a bit of publicity - or do you believe that Santa pays the wages. Pathetic, truly pathetic just moaning for the sake of it.

I also seriously doubt that Leeds will put a weak team out this year, don't know why



Up the Trin

I believe they do, or my lad walked 15 miles to work last boxing day

Excellent. I might be up for this then. An away trip on Boxing Day. Reminds of the first time I saw us win at the Boulevard. Hopefully, the weather will be better.

Be a very interesting squad on Boxing Day, considering Watkins, Hall, Singleton, Mullally will have an extended break due to their World Cup campaign. Cuthbertson, Ward, Ferres, Galloway won’t play due to operations in off season.

I'm going for a Wakefield win by 14

will this game be even on seen as trinity look like there walking out on belle vue and sueing the council.

I'm hoping for a heavy loss, just to breath some life into this forum.

Let the players have Xmas with their family. Most of the players have young kids. Its a pointless game.

in the Winter game it was serious , but I think now it can be called part of pre season training that generates a bit of off season revenue

Just sorted my lift over so barring any foul ups looking forward to this one.

Makes a change.

Wakefield team announced

Amended this considering Moon, Parcell, Garbutt, Delaney aren’t back in training yet.

Keinhorst to start at centre ahead of Newman. Singleton and Mullally have returned to training so in contention but possible they could sit out this one due to their World Cup efforts.

I thought Parcell's family moved over with him, why does he get an extended break?
Maybe it was in his contract or something...

Also, now moon is playing 6 I am uncomfortable with him missing a big chunk of pre-season also...

so that’s what’s she’s doing since she left Look North. Is Harry Gration turning out too?

Parcell's girlfriend moved over with him but his family and friends all still back in Australia.

We're allowing the Aussie players some extended time back home, barring Peteru who arrived a few weeks back.

Delaney got back last week he maybe still on injured list
