Wonder why the BBC never bothered to advertise the fact that it was being shown live on the iPlayer?Suppose it just shows how much regard for RL they have. In truth if you take out the emotion of it being Houghton's last game, he truly has been a magnificent servant to Hull FC and RL, it was a really poor quality game. I think it just strengthens the argument that all the games in the final round of the regular season should start at the same time, but being realistic Sky are never going to let this happen unless it suits their scheduling and the RFL hasn't got the balls to stand up to them to make it happen

Tom has been dropped from the England squad, which has been cut from 31 to 24. Presumably the management don't feel that he has recovered sufficiently from his broken tibula.

Selfishly I don't mind too much. Should be fully recovered by the time Trinity get in the gym for pre-season, and desperate to get back in Wane's squad next year

....Or Tibia...

I don’t mind that either. He’s back fit but be tough going into an international with no games for a few months.

Ashton is a decent stand in to be fair but the back line with Ashton and Newman especially looks a bit understrength.

Still can’t wait to see TJ pull the short back on! He could score 30 + next season if we get it right on that left edge. Even Walmsley will add some pace and agility on the right as he can hunt some try’s too. Some players just have that ability.

Hmm think you are underselling his opponents to say he'll get 30+
But I guess we'll see.

I don’t think so. I’m assuming this is if he’s fit all season. We are natural born pessimists as Trin fans



There is no better winger in SL when fit and I think the link back up with Jowitt it’s not a wild prediction.

Top try scorer, playing for the champions, scored 27 this year

Let me have some optimism before popping my bubble please.

With our left edge plays this season I can certainly see a lot of focus there next season that’s all.

I agree completely and even go along with him being top try scorer......I just wanted to manage your expectations of the number.

No problem. I’m probably overly excited on his return. No secret he’s my favourite player. One happy trinity fan here.

I might put a cheeky bet on for top try scorer if odds are decent.

Tom was at Belle Vue last night, he was wearing a boot on his leg

Thought he was recovered tbh. Hope it’s not a recurrence and he’s got for the pre season. Can’t wait to see him back where he belongs.

Because Catalan said after Tom's last game when he got taken of ,is leg was fine .He asked Wakefield to have a look so the boot

Hard to look at it with a boot on

I was but had both on
