No rest for our battered squad but, this one is definitely winnable.
Huddersfield, struggling for form and themselves with a long injury list, wont relish playing Trinity.
Our one time bogey team are there to be beaten and 2 points are definitely possible.

Randall should be back for this one and assuming that Big Dave and Pauli are good to go, we can beat the Giants.
1 - 7 looks like it will remain the same and lets hope for some better ball control.

I think it will be close 16 - 12 to Trin.

Truth is we have to target games like this if we want top 5. No excuses, the 17 who take the field are SL standard players and must go through the pain barrier and hold the line until reinforcements arrive, thats how top teams do it.

Of course thats easy for me to say but all I can do is help pay yhe wages and shout encouragement.

Anyone know why Kopzack was left out on sunday? If rested, maybe one of the other props will be rested against Shudds for him to come back in. Got a feeling Dave might miss this one he had a lot of strapping on the calf vs Hull and has been playing big minutes

Thought I heard Chessie say he was injured.

Kopzack has a bad ankle & cannot run according to CC !

Heard CC say that Kopczak had plantar fascitis. It's very painful, took steroid injections in the heel to clear mine up

Looking forward to this one, not been able to go to many games as I've been in hospital. Look to be on the mend now but will know more soon.

Seen the results but not been on here, how we playing at the minute?

Don't know you but hope your on the mend!

The team have been and are battered with injuries but have shown great spirit and played some very attractive rugby!

To say we are where we are, with the players we have out is credit to the coaching staff, and the players who have come in!

Exactly my thoughts.

Hope you are back on the mend Dreadnought

Christ I didn’t realise Koppy was injured as well!

If you put the injuries we have in their respective positions, that’s also a squad in itself.

3 Billy Tupou

I certainly can’t remember an injury list like this one.

To make it worse they are mostly long term injuries not just a match or two!

almost a must win for top 5 in my eyes- but seriously we are no hope I don't think with the injuries we have at their place.

Are you seriously saying "no hope" at their place ??
Maybe you should look at Huddersfield's injury list, form and lack of confidence before spouting rubbish.

There is plenty of spirit in the Trinity camp and although tired and busted, we're still good enough to get over the top of Shudds.

You don't even need to look at their team.
Wakefield have always pushed against the odds.
This team has always got a chance with the spirit in the team.

Bojo just doesn't get the positive side of anything and we are certainly up against it but we have a great chance and I look forward to seeing how we go.

At best we get unexpected points, at worst we get a team that have good experience right through to the last player in the squad which is valuable for future.

Never known an injury list like this before, but at the same time, never seen us with such never say die attitude.

They are all quite lengthy injuries, but was going through each one last night. If we can get through the May, with no more injuries, I would imagine Miller, Brough, Ashurst and Koppy will be close to coming back, not sure about England. Also, wasn't Huby and Batch about 12 weeks, so with that from mid Feb, they wouldn't be too far off either.

Trying to look on the positives

I look at it this way every win with our current injuries is a bonus. The plus side is that as these players return it will strengthen our chances in the run in because they will be fresh with most having missed on average 12 games.

When you look at that its amazing the quality of the squad we are still able to put out. Only Kershaw has no real SL experience, how many teams can say that. We need them to step up even though most of the remaining players are not 'star' players as such. It seems harsh on them but if they can hold the line until the absentees come back they will have done their bit even if some will probably lose their places.

Same 19 as last week but, Chester has already said that Randal will be playing and it would be great if Kopczak was fit.
He's been excellent for Trinity this season.
A bit more composure with ball in hand and better communication at the back and we should come away with 2 more valuable points.
Having said that, Shudds will also fancy their chances.

Make sure your pacemakers have their batteries fully charged, it's going to be close, maybe even golden time ?

is there any updated on injuries and how long it might be for the injured players till there back?

I can only see Gaskell missing from the Hudds 19, be a tough ask against the Cowbells.

For gods sake Willzay

don’t start that all again

Decent squad there. Surprising how many players have played for both teams, not just the ones there but in the full squads.
