Well, I think we will have done enough to lull Catalan into believing that they are better than us.
While they were giving Wigan a pasting in the Camp Nou, we were getting caned in London (but for a bizarre second half rally).

Can we turn our form around and carry on from the last 30 minutes from London or, will Catalan give us a beating.

Really nervous about this one and we desperately need something from this on to take into the Saints game the following week.
Catalan usually travel badly and we have already beaten them this season.
Let's hope we can make it a double.

Come on Trin !

I'll probably check the result to decide if I watch the recording. Thank goodness it's not Newcastle as I'd have been there.

I shan't be there, because I have no interest in sitting in Anfield all day - but I'll watch us on telly; if we don't win with a 50 metre DG in the dying seconds of the game, it will be an anti-climax.

Same for me.

Ill be there sitting in one of the greatest stadiums there is cheering the boys on win lose or no draw now....

How do we approach this game?

Chester and MC on record as saying they really want a good crack at the challenge cup this year...do we sacrifice two competition points in order to give ourselves a better chance against Saints? Do we rest key players and go to Saints as fresh as possible with all our big guns rested up or do we go all out for these two points and try and take winning form to the cup game?

I've been thinking for a while that Big Dave could do with a rest but then last week he comes up with his usual 100+ metres, two tries and a staggering 45 tackles, so if he can do it why can't the rest?

Funny side Catalans...outstanding one week...shocking the next...hope we bump into the latter!

This really is a 50/50 for me...we need to go back to basics and do all the small things right and the rest will fall into place! Do anther London and we'll be on the end of a proper hiding!

We need to speed up the rucks.
We are always bad at teams who can slow the start of the play down and we don't seem to be able to change tactics when they do.

For me we must put the effort in to getting up so that we at least force the penalty.
I actually don't know but I assume it's a big pitch at Anfield an we need to swing the ball.

Size doesn't account for quality. Anfield is just a bigger Goodison.

Massive mistake taking it to Anfield. It may be an iconic stadium but in one of the most run down areas of Liverpool a bus ride from the city centre.Why change what was an obvious success. Perhaps someone must have taken a backhander ( allegedly)

And where is size mentioned

Find it amazing that some of the greatest footballers inculding messi say its one of the greatest stadiums to play in but some fans on here wont go watch the team they support cos it at Anfield. Bet 90% aint even been there esp in last 3 or 4 years.as for it been a bus ride from city centre well so was manchester. Proper trinity fans will go no matter where they play too

I think to be fair TK, the problem is that when at Newcastle or Millennium stadium a short walk and you were in an eating establishment or a drinking establishment and 10 minutes in a taxi to your digs, which, like myself and many others who have children and grandchildren is a blessing . I’m one of those who will watch Trinity wherever they play but, why they make it hard for families is beyond me. Regarding Anfield, I’ve been a few times and been in the restricted viewing for away fans, not good for an iconic stadium

the surrounding area, well I’ll leave it there. Enjoy the game and the rest of the day hopefully we come back with the 2 points

I'm not going as I understand from others who have been that there isn't much legroom with seating. As a person with a disability this is a no no from me.

Great for Messi there is loads of room on the pitch, I went to the NZ international in the Kop no room whatsoever I am not going there to be cramped up for me its one of the worst stadiums I have visited.

Must be really bad thats why it sells out every game

Never been a football fan to me the players are overpaid prima donnas ,But was fortunate enough to go to Anfield a few years ago on a work convention.
Inside the hospitality was second to non and couldn’t have been made more welcome ,the place oozes quality.
Outside the stadium is another matter and I genuinely feared for my safety.
Likes been said Newcastle’s ground is in the city centre and I think a much better option for the family .

Rest players and get further way ftom the top 5? good choice.

we are not chance against saints so our only hope for a good season is the top 5

I agree off the back of the last performance ,but I think we have every chance of beating saints if we go with the right mindset ,turn up with the right attitude and we’re in the fight ,if not its a hiding to nowhere as saints will be up for it ,the big question is can Chester get our boys up for it .
Think we will see this weekend if the players can respond .

Rest injured players yes.
But don't save players for a big game. It never works.

Anfield is also home to the most insufferable fans in sport- even more so than Cas fans. Imagine wanting a trophy for finishing second.

I've been for the football and sat in the Kop.
The atmosphere is unbelievable and that is part of its iconic status. Only Cardiff Arms Park and now Millennium Stadium rivals it for singing fans.
I've been at least twice for rugby and felt cramped.
It's worth going to but if you are built like a rugby player it'll be tough for a full day.

The only thing I'll say is it won't be full so you'll have more space around you to spread.

Really hoping that Catalan are drained from their "final" last week.
Although it was only a "regular" game, they seemed to build it up way, way higher, almost like a cup final.
Coupled with their usual problems when they play over here and our additional impact in the pack (hopefully), we may just have a chance.

Catalan are in decent nick at the moment though and it will be a tough ask but, it should be a cracking opener to the weekend.

Come on Trin !

I think them having David Mead back in the Centres will be a big boost for them, he had a fantastic game the other day saying he's been out for so long. The main gain for Wakefield however is Greg Bird not being available, really cannot stress that enough.

Hopefully the boys have identified where/what went wrong from last weekend and sorted those out with a bit of the Hairdryer treatment too! With the added punch in the pack, I'd fancy Wakefield to give them a real good go, and come away with the points.

Agree, Catalan are a good side with out him and well capable of beating us on current form but with him even more so. I think this will be the hardest game we have had against Catalan in years, I reckon we will struggle.

I think a big part will be which Wakey turns up, if it's the team that played in London then we've zero chance of winning. Hoping for a reaction to last Saturday's game.
