Massive difference between Chester and Webster. At Easter, Chester was looking for us to continue to challenge for a top 5. Contrastingly, Webster pretty gave up at Easter.

Its about been realistic lets rush dave back on friday and due to this he gets injuered or as a set back and we also pick up another couple of injuries like yesterday and they can play the following week.these injuries picked up in a game we cant win making potential for players to miss a game we can win.i hate losing as much as anyone but surley this would be good game managment

totally agree

Could be another 80 pasting due to our lack of interest to defend recently.

I get the logic but it never seems to work like that. In the past Trinity have always done well when least expected and have always come crashing down when expected to do well. If you want to wait for a revival against so called 'lesser' teams that's fine but if you fail to beat them then there is no plan B.

Also I'm a great believer in momentum in sport, I honestly don't believe you can husband your resources and win games on demand, there is no 'go out and play' button.

For me its simply to risky, I want to see us chance our arm and try to get a result from every game, doesn't have to be a win just a good performance, then when we do meet so called 'beatable' teams we at lest have some form.

That's how I see it.

Attempting to be optimistic here but maybe this will lull Warrington into a false sense of security

The 19-man squad in full is:

Connor BAILEY
Danny BROUGH
Mason CATON-BROWN
Jack CROFT
Jordan CROWTHER
Anthony ENGLAND
David FIFITA
Titus GWAZE
Ryan HAMPSHIRE
Keegan HIRST
Ben JONES-BISHOP
Lee KERSHAW
George KING
Craig KOPCZAK
Reece LYNE
Jacob MILLER
Pauli PAULI
Kelepi TANGINOA
Kyle WOOD

If all fit, I would go with -

Hampshire
BJB
Lyne
Croft
Caton-Brown
Miller
Brough
Kopczak
Wood
King
Tanginoa
Pauli
Crowther

Fifita
England
Hirst
Bailey

I know Bailey can play all over the park, so is useful to have on the bench - Crowther seems to have a really good engine and could give Wood a break at 9 so he doesn't have to play the full 80. Overall I don`t think that is a bad looking team given the circumstances - The only one I wasn`t sure about is whether to go for MCB at Centre and Kershaw on the wing instead of Croft in the centre and MCB on the wing.

Id go with this but just a slight change for me.

I think King will probably take up position at loose not prop. King to the bench and England to start.

All seems to have gone quiet re.Tupou's return, has he had a setback in his recovery??

I’d put gwaze in instead of England and let’s see what the lad can do ,everyone thinks it’s a no win game so for me stick the lad in and give England a rest as he’s clearly playing with a back injury and nowhere near up to his early season form

tupo said in Wakefield express about two weeks ago he was at least two weeks off .

Can’t see anything other than a slaughter - we are actually lacking ten players who would have featured in front of the team that’s playing so am hoping gallant losers

Honestly think if we resign Randell , kirmond Pauli and Huby (yes I know he has a year ) baldwinson some one wants shooting

Randell spends more time in pinderfiekds than the matron
Kirmond bin great but time caught him up
Huby same
Pauli disruptive influence and consistently underperforms
Baldwinson - if I passed him in street wouldn’t recognise him

I think this game is all about finding some for an unlikely win would be a massive bonus but form and fitness matters most imo.

If players are ready to come back, they play
That's not rushing them back, that's playing your best team.
Some of them might need the game time anyway, win or lose its an investment, you cannot shepherd players away from games because you think they might get injured.....that's nuts, just don't sign them in the first place.
If they need a week off or they're playing niggled, that's different, but to not play your best players if they're fit because you don't think you can win the game with or without them is.......................exactly what I expect to be reading in this forum, typical.

Very concerning about Dave

Richard shawright made a comment on 40/20 that Dave hadn’t being training and still had a problem with his foot but nothing was showing up on scans

Did anyone else hear this ?

Any issues with Dave I’d say rest him till he is right

maybe he doesn't want to play anymore - it wouldn't surprise me

Getting beat by less than 30 will actually be a win for us - for and against could matter

You really are special aren't you !!!





I accept that it's a long way for you to come over Heath Common to actually watch a game, but for those of us that do actually go to matches, it is quite clear that he has been our stand-out performer this season, and it's no coincidence that he currently lies 5th in the Albert Goldthorpe medal table in League Express ahead of Jackson Hastings, Johnny Lomax, Jordan Abdull and Mark Sneyd, so it's not just those of us with red, white and blue tinted specs that appreciate what he has done for us this season.
It is also no coincidence that since he got injured then the teams performance has also dropped off, so whilst you are entitled to your opinion.....YOU CLEARLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm actually finding it quite difficult to form a view about the specifics of this game - in terms of who plays, where, and what tactics we use; it's going to be a mullering all ends up, and it's hard to see past that.

So this one is OK is it PT, at least you're consistently inconsistent.

Problem ????

Not from me, I only wish I had the freedom to say what you have, which is spot on imho.

Yep that's OK.

I think I've only ever picked you up once on saying something that didn't fit the AUP so I'm not sure why you are so upset but saying you don't agree with someone and justifying it is what the forum is about. Name calling and making personal comments is not.
It might be worth comparing this post to one of yours or maybe any other poster that has been picked up on this kind of stuff and checking the difference. It's worth a shot.

This post suggests you have had problems back in the day with Poptart perhaps under another name, I say this because although the frustration we all share regarding bozo and his posts, it shows to some extent Fil's frustration without any insults.

Noooooo

say it ain't true....lol
