Just our luck, there’s nearly a 2 week break before the Leeds game. They’ve lost again today, which coach can get their team motivated the most. Trinity may have the slightest edge for this game, but with Leeds and Agar, who knows.

How will we have the edge theybdo having already beat us this season

Yes you’re right, for some reason, I thought this was the home game for Trinity which may have just edged it for us.

It would be great if we could beat them and drag them down even further.

Hope for a win, expect a loss. We'll push them close but will not have the ability to make pressure count and then wilt at the other end.

Going all Bojo, this is a must win game.

I have said this before but this games winnable.

There all winnable ........

I think the effort as been there in all the games, we just can’t create pressure because we can’t score points. IMO we look a lot more dangerous going with early ball instead of constantly round the back. The trouble is we just look full of mistakes at the moment. Maybe we should just try to go back to basic boring, mistake free 5 drives and a kick to build some confidence and see if we can grab a win

Couldn’t agree more but for this game specifically we have to take it to Leeds, who are also a side that are currently struggling. We cannot afford to make the same mistakes as last time.

Strange how I look forward to each game despite how the previous one made me feel. Lol!

And it should be at home as we have played an home game at headingley

We been playing 5 drives and a kick for 2 years, just a bit more football been played this year please

Just watched extended high highlights of Leeds v Huddersfield game .Both teams scored good trys, and throw the ball about well .Did notice that both teams when on attack ,seemed to stand way behind the 10 yard limit. so getting far more momentum going forward .We seem to stand flat .

I'd have been happy with that last season.
I think we tended to be 5 drives and just hand the ball over.

Half the time we don't even have an attacking line, just a rabble

Standing flat as been my gripe for years.
Difficult to score when near the line because it just becomes a game of shove.
Generally we are out muscled in this area.
Lying a little deeper and running onto a ball without a man about to clatter you simply changes the dynamic in favour of the attacking team.
We don't learn what isn't working or have the individuals to step inside a player to create a gap. Hope CC watches the coaching manual as used by the more successful teams.

This game is definitely winnable.
The only victory for Leeds cam at our expense, in a game that Trinity, despite being busted, could and should have won.
We will be much stronger in the pack this time around and with a couple of bodies back, we CAN do the business.
Confidence wont be great for either side and it's up to our senior players to stand up.
Assuming he's fit, I'd have senior back, hopefully with Johnstone on the other wing



The first of 4 HUGE, HUGE games for us.

Come on Trin !

Yes, hopefully we have a couple of bodies returning after couple of weeks off, the only problem is Leeds players have also had time to refresh. I’m not sure if they still have a couple of players still suspended for this game.

Yes I believe they do have a few returning including Luke Gale.

Yep, Tetevano and Myler still banned for us

Been saying the same thing myself for years also, ric. Big Dave should be running at speed for at least 10m before receiving the ball. His momentum should then take him at least another 15m.. A flat line and receiving the ball standing still achieves nothing

If we are to survive we have to win 2 of our next 4

Sadly, even as it's the basics, we've not been very good at it, starting with the forwards not running onto the ball, and the wingers driving it in too often. All for the backs to take it in, but there has been instances when the whole set, as been taken up by the backs

I'm not usually one for advocating ultimatums and in the past have been the eternal optimist - 'we'll turn the corner' BUT even I'm at the point where the time has come for a win!
I don't know what's wrong - Bad coaching? Players not playing to gameplan? Players not fit? some players don't care? Injuries?
You can pick and mix but it's probably a bit of everything, although to be fair the players have seemingly stepped up in the last couple of games.You can analyse it as you wish as to what's causing the terrible run, but what we all surely agree on, is that it has to end, and pronto!
If there is no win in the next couple of games, then in my book, it's time for a change, because spectators will not return to watch a team getting beaten in every game, and that's fact.

I would be satisfied with the basics right now. 5 proper drives and a kick complimented by some of the defence shown this year would see us see us take the 2 points on a few occasions.

The strategy of firing the backs/wingers in for the first few tackles just doesn’t work as it used to and I think even more so for us, as at the moment we’re often starting off on the back foot 10m from our own line.

I remember seeing the likes of Cockayne and Fox often break through the line and put us in a really good position or even score.

Just had a look at the fixtures. Leeds, Hull KR, Huddersfield and then Warrington. Massive 3 weeks coming up, we need a win out of the first three.

Sad but in reality if we can pick up a few points and also beat Leigh, we just might be safe come the end of the season.
