Chris Annakin
James Batchelor
Mason Caton-Brown
Jordan Crowther
David Fifita
Ryan Hampshire
Keegan Hirst
Justin Horo
Ben Jones-Bishop
Max Jowitt
George King
Danny Kirmond
Craig Kopczak
Reece Lyne
Jacob Miller
Tyler Randell
Ben Reynolds

Probably Annakin and Reynolds to drop out and go something like this-

Max Jowitt
Ben Jones-Bishop
Reece Lyne
Junior Sa’u
Mason Caton-Brown
Jacob Miller
Ryan Hampshire
David Fifita
Tyler Randell
Keegan Hirst
James Batchelor

According to the Trinity website news which announced the squad Miller is to partner Reynolds.I think this would be a big mistake. Hampshire has been good at half back and has made it clear it is his preferred postion. Also it would probably mean Jowitt dropped so Hampshire can return to full back at at time when Jowitt has been very good. I would take moving Hampshire back to full back to accommodate Brough but not Reynolds.

I'm torn on that decision.
Hampshire and Miller both play for me so the decision is between Reynolds and Jowitt.
Both have played well in the recent games but the thing that sways it for me is Hampshire's attacking ability at FB. I'd rather he plays there which means Max has to make way unfortunately.

Jowitt over Reynolds every time for me. Reynolds has been average/poor in my opinion.

I think my team would be:

Max Jowitt
Mason Caton-Brown
Junior Sa’u
Reece Lyne
Ben Jones-Bishop
Jacob Miller
Ryan Hampshire
David Fifita
Tyler Randell
Keegan Hirst
James Batchelor
Danny Kirmond
Jordan Crowther

Kyle Wood
Justin Horo
Craig Kopczak
George King

Chris Annakin and Ben Reynolds to miss out, but assuming that Chester is not playing mind games with his assertion that Reynolds partners Miller in the halves then it looks like Hampshire to fullback and Jowitt/Annakin to miss out

I'd go with that as well.
Jowitt should keep the FB spot and keep Hampshire in the halves, although it will become far more interesting when Brough is fit again and it looks like Jowitt will miss out then, but, he definitely deserves his place.

Looking forward to seeing how Sau goes.
He's a beast of a centre and he could have some fun at the weekend.

Bookies are giving them 10 start on the coupon and I'm hoping that we clear that but, a victory is an absolute must.

Come on Trin !

Tough one, I actually prefer Rocky at fullback than in the halves but I think Max has gone well since his return to the side. I don`t agree that Reynolds has been poor, I actually think he has done quite well given the circumstances.

For me I think Chester will go -

1. Rocky
6. Miller
7. Reynolds

I will certainly welcome back Millers short kicking game, we looked clueless in the kicking department against Halifax highlighted even more so with a brilliant display from Danny Craven who killed us most of the game with his kicking. Just need Broughy back now!

Anyone know how much longer Broughy's out for? Also aren't both Ashurst and England close to being fit again.

Are you clairvoyant - have you already seen our SF against 'Fax?

Widnes

Chester mentioned around Magic for Brough, England I thought was this week and Ashurst not too sure?

Thought Chessie said after Magic Weekend for Brough.

Well having just listened to Chester , he has confirmed Miller and Reynolds but would not be drawn who he would pick at FB. I then listened to end of interview regarding Hampshires contracts talks and I got the impression the club have offered what they think is a fair contract and as yet it has not been accepted. SO! I would suggest that they will stick with Jowett at FB as it appears they don't see Rockie accepting the deal and therefore Jowett is the long term full back solution.

England not to be risked on the plastic pitch.

God I hope not Who's going to cover his tackling at full back ??????

This is what I was saying in a thread I started a few weeks back, difficult choices to be made.

I'm surprised that Reynolds wins out but then he's done nothing wrong and just perhaps he does what CC tells him to do, often the reason that certain players win out.

Reynolds has done a great job in difficult circumstances but, his kicking game is was behind our other HB options.
He's been excellent.

I still have flash backs of the Cas game and in the alternative ending the ball popped up nicely and he scores next to the sticks...…………...if only.

Reading between the lines...from Chester’s interview it looks like Hampshire will be the one to miss out to maybe have a sit and think about accepting the 3 year deal that’s been offered...

Sounds like he’s wanting a little more than we’ve offered...can’t fault him for that as it’s a short career...I really hope he does sign as he could be a huge player for us for many years if he does...in my opinion he’s not a player we should back down to though...there is only Fifita I would say we had to do everything in our power to keep, everyone else is replaceable...

Jowitt should keep his spot anyway as he’s been playing really well and just because he doesn’t have that instant burst of pace Rocky has, don’t be fooled into thinking he’s not as good an attacking full back because I think he is...5 tries and 3 assists against 4 tries and 6 assists from Hampshire in half the amount of games...and please stop spouting dribble about his defence....he’s improved massively in that regard, but at the end of the day a full backs tackling ability is right at the bottom of the importance of what he brings...

Huge game this as Chester says and a massive few weeks...a healthy win for us and with others playing each other it could give us a bit of breathing space and put us in a real healthy place...3rd in the league, squad looking healthier by the week with players coming back to go into two huge fixtures at magic and then in the cup...

It’s a string squad and I expect us to win with a bit to spare!

Safe journey down to all of you coming to Ealing - but do us a favour and leave the seat smashers who visited in Feb behind eh?

Already discussed, they are on notice. Apologies from the rest of us, all clubs have a bad element so I'm not to precious on these things but ours has become far to noticeable of late.

In my opinion this is why Hampshire s career has never really taken off . Either he or his agent persistently ask for more than clubs think he is worth. He is a Normanton lad but signed for Wigan because Trinity would not pay what he wanted. He nearly didn't have a club at all the season before last because he was asking for too much. Then he would only sign for 1 year because he was hoping for more. I know when he first came to Trinity we probably were not paying him as much as the rest of the team . If he is not careful he will be on the move constantly and never establish himself anywhere.
