Trinity 20-man squad:

Christian Ackroyd
Chris Annakin
Tinirau Arona
Joe Arundel
Jordan Baldwinson
James Batchelor
Mason Caton-Brown
Jordan Crowther
Anthony England
Keegan Hirst
Luke Hooley
Justin Horo
Ben Jones-Bishop
Max Jowitt
Danny Kirmond
Reece Lyne
Pauli Pauli
Tyler Randell
Bill Tupou
Kyle Wood

A tasty looking squad which is more than capable even though there's only 1 halfback in there. Plenty of chances for squad rotation in the game so we'll get to see how they all get on!

Re: Boxing Day friendly : Fri Dec 15, 2017 9:30 pm  

Maybe going for an Ackroyd/Jowitt halfback partnership, or maybe Wood slots into SH, Ackroyd SO and Randall plays Hooker. Then try and see which out of that lot works the best, and who plays well in case of injury to Finn/ Miller. Only the first trial game, so plenty of time still.

Props pick themselves & the wingers do, 3 centres in there as well as 6 back rowers.
i presume they're going to play Hooley at FB at least for the first half then maybe Jowitt slips back there.

Like EB says above, plenty to experiment on during the game and good that some of the younger guys get a chance to show what they can do.

There is nothing wrong with pretending to be the coach on here, it's part of the fun. I love giving my own opinion with great gusto but it always imho. I enjoy those who post like that. Belly is the best even if he does love to play to the gallery. Or eastern who'd have a squad of a hundred given the chance.

It's only annoying when you get those posters who love to make out that they are or were something in the game. They never back it up by saying who they are but they believe they are entitled to spout their beliefs unchallenged. Some even have a little fan club slavishly backing up their sometimes ludicrous conjecture.

I don't enjoy them otherwise it's a free forum so knock yourselves out.

So with ten days till the friendly the game is still being advertised as being played at BV. Has an agreement been made or are we just winging it? Don't wanna turn up on Boxing Day to locked gates.
