I like the optimism of you chaps, but come on. Do you really think we can carry on winning games in such a highly competitive league like we've got this season without TJ, BT Woody, Broughie, Lyne, milky, England, Huby & Randall? That's literally 53% of our first seventeen. Sorry to seem a misery, chaps but Im a realist and can't see us faring very well in games to come. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

what the hell? also missing Randall huby batch ,we have no money, so we're bloody struggling compete

Best take up knitting and chillax then, no point in foaming at the mouth over things out of your control.
I'm sure the guys that take the field won't be thinking they can't compete, 5 days before a ball is even kicked.

COnsidering we've lost four already with a full strength team than no we won't carry on winning with such a mass of first teamers out, but that isn't the point. Wigan, Hull, Huddersfield, Hull KR, Castleford plus other I've probably forgot all have or had large bout of injuries and got on with it. We're apparently over budget after signing Brough, we have no money to replace what we've lost, plus with the amount of other clubs suffering from injuries the number of players available, and quality, will be limited. We can squad, use it.

So we roll up to Cas on Thursday expecting the worst and hoping for the best. What's new?

I reckon our pack is still pretty formidable.

Let's just enjoy the day.

We are at our best when under pressure.
This would be a great time to beat Cas.

In spite of all the quality players missing & the number of pivotal players, I sincerely do hope we compete & try to win, up the Trin.

Jowitt, BJB, Horo, Arundel, Kershaw, Reynolds, Hampshire, Fifita, Teale, Kopczack, Pauli, Ashurst, Arona Subs: Crowther, Hirst, King Kirmond

Is there an alternative?

Caton-Brown coming back and Reynolds pulled back from Fev

Having being an avid supporter of the academy and scholarship teams over the last few years I have to say, teale is nowhere near ready for 1st team.
Hampshire in to the hal, Jowitt to FB new signing to wing horn in to centres, crowther to 9 if required, jobs a carrot

Wood and Lynne to play!... hopefully...

Heard the same.
That makes things look a lot better.

Reynolds and Hampshire half back with Max at fb and either new winger or Kershaw brought in.

Journo on Twitter reckons Brough will play too

Is there a bad time to beat us?


Just noticed up to now you have had 7 home games and only 3 away (unless I'm mistaken) you have a run of away games now so could really do with getting some back.

We won 2 of the 3 away and the loss was a surprise at London so not a particular worry.

Sounded like crisis over, come on, up the Trin !

Seems so but let’s not count our chickens. Looked bleak after a lousy month or so in terms of injury. Assuming we get no more I think there is enough there to keep us ticking over until the bodies start to return. We can but try.

With Lyne, Wood & Brough back in contention and MCB resigned it seems the criesis is over(ish)

Jowitt, BJB, Lyne, Arundel, MCB, Hampshire, Brough, Fifita, Wood, Kopczack, Pauli, Ashurst, Arona SUBS: Crowther, Kirmond, King, Hirst

Is Brough back in contention, Trinity TV seems to suggest he’s out for up to 12 weeks. Some inside info Avenger?

He's got a chuffing great big pot on his arm at the moment so unlikely but hey who knows.

It's a zip-up type. Mind games.

Can’t keep up with Broughs availability, he’s like the Hokey Cokey

What crisis?
