Should be a good game

Here is their 21 man squad:


1. Adam Quinlan
2. Ben Crooks
3. Shaun Kenny-Dowall
4. Kane Linnett
5. Greg Minikin
7. Jordan Abdull
8. Robbie Mulhern
12. Harvey Livett
14. Mitch Garbutt
15. George Lawler
16. Dan Murray
17. Kyle Trout
18. Jez Litten
19. Will Dagger
20. Mikey Lewis
25. Matty Gee
26. Will Maher
27. Elliot Minchella
28. Matty Storton
30. Jamie Ellis
31. Ryan Brierley

Although the friendly game will be no barometer of what will happen this time, only Abdul seemed to offer anything going forward and although one of the biggest HB's in the comp, he does have a full bag of tricks.
This one will be about how well our pack can perform.

Come on Trin !

Reading comments from KR fans, they seem a little nervous of Friday result. I don’t know why they should be, that’s a pretty strong squad they have. All pointing to a close game.

When I look at the KR squad it just looks very mediocre bar one or two.

It's strong but it has a big hole in the pack. I think that is where they are worried. We have covered our injured front rowers better than they have I think.
We shall see. Can't wait.

This is a bit like deja vu to me when we played London away 1st up last year - they were everyone's favourites to finish bottom and we got our backsides slapped - hope we've prepared with this in mind and are as fit & ready to go as wigan & wolves were last night

Famous last words there matey! I just hope we don't get Abdulled like we did down in London twice, he has a very good short kicking game, and we tend not to defend that very well......

We should be prepared and ready to go, if not plenty of the fitness experts will have plenty to say.
Tonight's game for me is more about competing and grinding out a result. If we manage to build a points difference then take advantage and throw the ball about

Well, this is where you hope we have learned.

Frankly, I'd never go to an away game expecting a result, the odds are always in the home teams favour. I do however hope for a performance.

This will be won and lost in the half backs for me. If we control it like we did last time we were there then we'll be fine as the forwards will dominate.
If we let Abdul have free range they could run us ragged.

It wont matter how well our halves perform if we dont win the battle in the middle of the park.
IF we can start rolling forward and convert a couple of breaks then, it's happy days.

However, we know too well what Abdul can do and for me, he's the one player that can hurt us.

Exactly! Our forwards MUST perform for us to get the points there.
