Next up Wire (a) 19.45 Friday : Mon Sep 02, 2019 1:24 pm  

As crunch time draws ever closer, Trinity can ensure SL rugby next season, if they can overcome and out of form Warrington on Friday.
Having occupied 2nd spot in SL for the whole season, their league form has dipped alarmingly and they have only won 2 from their last 10 games (against us and London) and whilst they were surprise winners of the Challenge Cup, they are looking like the outsiders for the play offs.
No doubt they will want a win to try and wrestle 2nd spot from Wigan but, with Wigan playing Catalan this week, that looks very unlikely.

One eye (at least) will be on the KR v London game but, we have the chance to secure SL safety regardless and with how much our defence has improved of late, we do have a chance.

There were a couple of injury concerns yesterday and assuming that he's fit and allowed to play against his parent club, we may see the return of Atkins.

I dont think there will be any other changes but, for me Hampshire would be more of a handful than Brough in the halves

Come on Trin, lets get the job done.

We must have them worried, Steve Price was watching us yesterday.

They should be able to wheel their Wembley squad out.

They will really want to end their losing run.

Short turn over for us.

Didn't Bill go off injured?

I would love us to win this wires game, but being a realist, we ain't going to win, they rested players, Steve Price has observed & done his homework !
Our only chance now is down to - a). HKR beat London & end it ! - b). London beat HKR - therefore we have to win the un-official - play off ! Bearing in mind how we struggle & loose not being an 80 minute team.

Tupou and annikin won’t play again this season according to Chester - so you would think Atkins in squad and king

Can not see us getting a win at Wires think they will have a lot stronger team out than they did against Salford. Price would also be eyeing up the talent we have got in case we go down.If we do drop it as got to be the best squad of players ever to be in a team that gets relegated

Atkins isn’t allowed to play, it was part of the agreement when he signed.
