No Fifita or Huby in the squad, that is 2 big misses both metaphorically and physically.

Must have injuries surely Chester wouldn't omit them otherwise

Just been in to the shop for our 4 tickets and was told we have sold just short of 400 tickets, which the girl said was pretty good.

It's not bad for Trinity.
We have notoriously tight fans but, plenty will be "walk up's" so hopefully we can at least out "sing" the Shudds fans and help the boys to victory !

Right now, we have a genuine chance at a top 4 spot and IF we can get a couple of early wins in the super 8's, maybe, the apathetic Wakefield public may just come down and watch.

Come on Trin !

Shudds are 4/7 favourites. Trin 6/4. Or you can get 4 start for Trin on the handicap.

Re: Huddersfield on Friday : Wed Aug 02, 2017 4:06 pm  

Should be quite a few to be bought yet. Getting 4 myself tomorrow.Come on Trinity!

This is not a hard question But how many years did Grix play fullback at Huddersfield? Then ask yourself why.

Why? Because he was a fantastic organiser of the defensive line and was very much respected by all the players who trusted his judgement. As for Grixy under the high ball comments. If he bombed one in the first 10 minutes he would struggle the whole game as he is very much a confidence player. If he takes the first few bombs he's usually pretty safe the whole game. I'm pretty sure Broughy will bomb him to death the whole game though!

Thanks Lyndsay

On Grix he's the best fb we have on our books and links really well, it's a nice change to have an outside back who can actually pass & it's no coincidence that our wingers have scored more tries this year than for the last 20 or so

On the high bombs - it's not just down to one man...we should be better organised to protect the catcher by shepherding attacking runners - watch any nrl side and even leeds or wigan who have succeeded in copying them well enough to dominate our game - we don't do it and pay the costs...we can't even defend short kick offs and i'm surprised more teams don't take them against us more regularly, they'd get the ball back 80% of the time
