If Proctor has had doubts over fitness, this isn't the game to put him in. I'd save him.
Not sure if Hood and Smith are now fit. Anyone know?

I cant see us beating Saints but if we don't beat Cas either then Mash has to go as that will be 0 from 8 and we will be a minimum of 2 wins behind anybody else and with a much worse points difference with a third of the season gone.'"
Unfortunately i dont believe its as simple as that,im led to believe when a player player plays a sl game he has to be paid a certain salary which is significantly higher that what any reserve player gets |

Proctor has to play IMO...he's looked at times to struggle with the pace of the game and match fitness so to put him in at Cas cold will be a big error for me...get him some gametime...a couple of 20 minute stints in the back row should bring him on nicely for Cas...
Applegarth said in his post match interview the other night that had that game been on Sunday instead of Friday Crowther, Smith and Proctor would all have been ok to play...just the short turnaround came too quick....so another 5 days on come game day Friday all three should be in contention....Hood will be available after the HIA kept him out...just whether or not he's over that... |

I would go with this for saints….
Butterworth
Taufua
Langi
Lyne
Lineham
Smith
Gaskell
Battye
Hood
Butler
Ashurst
Pitts
Crowther
Forber
Atoni
Eseh
Law
I’d rest … Kay, Kershaw, Hall, Lino, Bowden, Whitbread, Bowes, Tanginoa, Proctor. These would all play vs Castleford and probably Hewitt.
That’s 10 fresh players vs Cas who are coming in off a short 5 day turnaround. The team vs saints also looks decent.

No Atoni. Proctor back.

I thought Hood might have been in the squad, probably saving him for the Cas game |

I wonder if Atoni is injury or performance related? If as i hope it's the latter then hopefully it will give him the kick up the backside he needs. |

Saints a full team pretty much to choose from. 1-10 in and 13 with some good options….
I’d rest a handful of I’m brutally honest like I suggested previously.

| Quote ="Trojan Horse"So…
But if a rough ride for everyone at trinity recent weeks.
The coach, the players and the fans are all feeling it. There needs to be a win incoming and soon.
Saints look a little wobbly lately but they still have an excellent group of players and will be tough.
The reality is vs KR we were missing 9 x players from starting 17. Any team would struggle with that. That said there are things within control such as intensity in defence and improving ball retention. Two key areas that cost us vs KR really. Post yard metres from KR was simply unacceptable added to turning over the ball cheaply.
Only time we looked threatening with ball in hand was a 10 minute spell in second half when we upped the tempo and the ball went through plenty of hands to the edges.
So we move onto Saints…
Mash said that Bowden/Kalepi/Gaskell/Smith are 1/2 week away. Hood should also be back.
I wouldn’t play Gaskell at halfback or Full back. Mash seemed excited to have him back next week but he is just not a pivotal player and the best combination we have had this year is Smith/Lino. It’s clear Mash rates Gaskell but even he surely sees his limitations despite his effort. We need continuity at halfback and I think best we have is Smith/Lino. At least there’s points in that and the kicking looks more effective (Salford away).
Part of me thinks should we throw out a few rotation players and rest/prepare for an absolute must win vs Cas. We could have a lot of fresh bodies going into Cas (bearing in mind we have a short turn around d going into it again).
You want to win every game though so I just don’t know.
This will be a tough game. Thoughts?'"
A win will come but I think that Saints is a bit too much. They aren't the machine they were last year so far but they are simply too good for us.
I seriously doubt a lot of those named in the 20 man squad will actually play, so it will be a weaker team than you think. |

The weather looks absolutely awful for the trip and the game tonight. Not looking forward to the journey but hoping the wind and rain may disrupt Saints flow a bit.

A big thanks to all those brave and committed supporters going tonight. You deserve a medal but the only reward { a Trinity win} looks extremely unlikely.

All the best and good wishes to fans that are going tonight. Would have been there with you last season ,but from the dross I have seen this season away matches are too much time and cash wasted .Sums it up for me the way the North stand emptied last week way before the end of the match

Good luck and safe trip to those of you who are going tonight, you have my respect for that.
All I want from tonight is no suspensions, injuries or HIA protocols.

Find that quite poor really.
Even when I played at amateur level, we were always asked, when injured, to go along to the game, to boost team spirit in the squad. |
