If they play the same side as they did against Salford then I really don't see why we can't hammer them...

Yes, CC said he's gone back home to see his family.

Must be very hard for the Aussie players with young families left behind, especially with the relentlessly cold weather we're having. Hope it refreshes him for when he comes back.

I cant really bring myself to mention the fifta episode but really!!

our only hope now is top 8 and this is not a must win for that- we are no chance as their halfbacks and people that set up tries are way way better than ours - no matter how the forwards go.

I don't get what you mean... the backs generally rely on the forwards making the hard yards to set them up and put something on?

Yeah it's unfortunate for him obviously, but I suppose him getting a chance to see them now is a bonus for him, I haven't got a problem with him being allowed to go, if he's injured and can't play then fair enough. I think we'd all agree whenever he's pulled on a Trin shirt he's given nothing less than a 100% every time.

Maybe Salford thought the same and ended up getting nilled!! I get what you are saying, they will be understrength, probably more so than us, but I can't see us hammering them, we have to up our attacking game somehow, we need to create more chances, for all it was gutsy at Hull, they gifted us 3 tries, with the pace we have. For me we just haven't clicked yet with ball in hand, maybe the weather, i'm sure we're all p****d off with it, let's hope the pitch dries up somewhat, and it's dry on Sunday.......

Most likely the same team as none of the injured props are due back for another 3 weeks at least.

We should still have plenty in the forwards to cope with Leeds.
The main issue is whether we can beak down their defence often enough and then execute properly.

He will be a big miss but hopefully we can still do a job against Leeds.
The drain on their limited numbers of forwards must be huge, especially coming off the back of the Easter games.

We should be able to freshen things up again and the back line will be really interesting.
Apart from our right edge getting done (as it was against Wire), every player who came in against Hull will be pushing for a spot and Arundel is a must, he's our best option for getting his wing man away and we certainly need to be able to score a few.

Come on Trin !

Yeah agree with what you say, i'm also a big fan of Arundel, but Lynne and Bill have been excellent so far, Chester is spoilt for choice in the backs, no doubt, it will be interesting to see who he picks, I wonder if Max will keep his place???
