Round 5 until our first home game cats at home same with Leigh. Good thing as more home matches hopefully in front of crowds.

Up the Trin

Looks like quite a few midweek fixtures looking at those dates abs Catalan away is 29/30th July which is a Thursday or Friday, that seems a bit strange

It will be ok if Catalans are based over here, although not as warm


Everything will need to be "liquid" if there is still covid affecting stuff.

With Leeds "stealing" home advantage, it's a tough few opening fixtures. Mind you if we could sneak an early win or two, it would be great !

A few few weeks back i said it be nice if fixture list could be nice to us over few weeks how opposite is it.first 5 matches all tough as thsy can be

It makes no difference they all have to be played

There are no easy games in SL. Even Leigh will give us a run for our money. The opening 5 games will provide a stern test to see if we can compete for eighty minutes or crumble like soggy rich tea biscuits.

Correct there aint no easy games but saints leeds wigan and hull all away from home dont come much tougher

Even more reason the club and players really need to have an intense pre season. Looking at that start there’s no room for complacency. It’s the best time to play them for sure but we need to be throwing the kitchen sink at these opening rounds to pick up as many wins as possible.

It’s a clean slate and from what I hear of pre season the players are putting in the hard work. I’m sure it will pay off on the pitch.

I don't think it's a bad thing playing Leeds, Wigan Saints and Hull first 4. New players in new teams, combinations not quite there etc.. it's a chance to pick up a couple of wins before they're up to full speed. That's what my lad reckons anyway and I think he makes a valid point.

It's because it's a double-game weekend, with us playing Salford on the Sunday or Monday.

On the face of it, it would seem better to meet the so called top teams early on before they get into their stride and it does give us an easier run in.

I see us being 1 from 7 anone else ????? its a worrying draw for us especially if we get any injuries we are going to be towards the bottom of the ladder in first 2 months - if we have injuries will we get out of it ?

back to normality with you

It's all about scraping a couple of "W's" in those early games, before everyone is fully into their stride.
Leigh, with their "golden ticket", have to be favourites for the wooden spoon but, they go into the season with no pressure on them whatsoever.
With our squad as it is, we need some luck with injuries, especially in the forwards, we seem one and possibly 2 props light.

A good finish would be 8th and anything better would be excellent and then hopefully build from there.

I'd take 8th /9th and for work to start on the ground

Leeds are definitely going to be missing Walker (for the season !!) and Lui according to this... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/56259865 And isn't Gayle currently injured as well ??

Every club gets injuries and Trinity are definitely due a change of luck after the past couple of seasons and the bigger clubs, with larger squads (like Leeds) should cope better than most. It comes down to who, how many and how long for. I think that we have decent cover and some good options in our spine and if some of our young lads continue to develop, things could look pretty good for us.

The article suggests a recovery time of 10 weeks from an operation scheduled for 13th January which is 24th March. The season has been delayed 2 weeks since the article was written.

It was originally said Gale would be touch and go for the start of the season but then the season was put back 2 weeks so he may be ok.
Still looks like you have one of the toughest starts though.

It’s a great start to see how mentally strong this team is.
