Some of the players need to get in on that deal too, I think 2 of those busts were through a hole vacated by the ref...lol

We beat Salford this weekend and our teams and should be be the towns confidence would be sky high - QF of the challenge cup should be packed out

Sunday can’t come quick enough can it!

Going in off 4 straight wins…the sloppy 2nd half yesterday to hopefully concentrate our minds fully for the job in hand. Am expecting big Dave back who likes playing Wigan…hopefully Johnstone ok to play after what was arguably the best 40 minute performance from a single player at Belle Vue for a long time.

Wigan look good this season…got a lot of time for their coach after listening to him earlier in the season on the podcast with Wilkin and Flanagan…can see from that why he’s doing so well…like WP with us, very much in touch with the roots and culture of the club and what it means to play for the club. They’ve got some outstanding match winners like Field and French but for me their biggest strength is their defensive quality…very, very hard team to break down. We can’t afford to panic..patience might win the day.

Looks a massive task but it’s worth noting that in our last 8 matches at home to Wigan we’ve won 5, lost 3 and the 3 defeats have been by 1, 6 and 8 points. I can’t remember in any of those games going in that there was as much excitement about our team and whole feel good factor about the place?

Let’s hope our fans turn out in numbers and make it a memorable one!

Couldn't agree more!

Win or lose so long as we give it our best I'll be happy. Nothing to lose CAN'T WAIT



We are the Brazil of Rugby League

Just started with covid today so may have to miss match gutted is a understatement

Only five days now I believe mate, unless you get really ill you should be ok. So fingers crossed you're ok.

Unlucky mate, hope it doesn't affect you too much, but on the plus side we could ask Vasty to ring you with a live match commentary ??

Dont think it any days now to be honest

Correct as far as I can tell.

That will be why cases are now at record levels (thankfully not too many people falling off their perch).

Back to the game and the bookies are currently giving us 8 points start so, hopefully a good close game (and the bookies being wrong)

Which puts the vulnerable catagory at risk if people are mixing knowing they have the virus.

I think that’s what they want. Every time the virus goes through the population it weekend it to a point where it’s not even as aggressive as the flu.

For me it’s the correct call, we simply couldn’t carry on in any kind of lockdown. This is the real world and thankfully those on charge have realised. It’s harsh as some will still suffer but I’m afraid the needs of the many will always outweigh the few.

The hope now is we don’t get a mutation in the wrong direction and if we do we are far better placed to deal with it.

It’s worth noting that much scientific opinion is coming to the opinion that lockdown was a failure and was unnecessary but obviously some disagree.

Doesn’t take long for Covid to raise its ugly head

How will we know if it mutates we no longer check and the figures when declared make grim reading. What do you say to the families of the 100 + who currently die on a daily basis. We appear to go with the theory that ignorance is the way forward hence the reluctance to release the figures. I guess de Pfeffel wanted herd immunity at the start of the pandemic and he now has it.

Thanks forum nice to know you care ,No we have our ups and downs Vastman but a big thanks to you Gess your a big pussy at hart

And you into your total subservience to de Pfeffel and all he stands for. If you believe you have it but take the view suggested by the government of de Pfeffel and carry on mixing and someone you visited dies of Covid what do you say to the family. I notice that many industries are struggling because employees are staying away with Covid, I guess you believe they should go back to work and forsake the consequences.
With regards the cup game it is one of those where if we play to our best we can win which we have done on several occasions over the years. I guess it all boils down to the team we can put out because the Radio suggested both Reece and Kaye appeared to be limping.

Ok....let me be clear again

Comment on Alegend getting covid


Start derailing thread with same old covid argument

See youre still guessing.......







If you believe you have it : that doesn't prevent you from observing the basic hygiene principals or wearing a mask......??

With regards the game, personally i have a bad feeling about this one.
I don't think the Wigan defence will be as generous as Warrington/Salford and have the quality to hit you from deep.
I envisage we will have sustained early pressure but not put any points on the board,Wigan will hit us on the counter and frustration will set in.
Wakefield 6-22 Wigan

Hallelujah, a post about Wigan in Cup,

, mind you, I thank it’ll be a closer game than you think.

Thinking about this game reminds of the CC game when Ray Price played for us. I seem to recall they took him out early doors but we gave them a game that day with a great crowd.

Yep .. 1990 … 32 years ago … lost 14-26… was my last game before getting on a plane for my first trip to Aus… I also remember a cup QF game at Wigan in 2004 which was a tight affair until the pies pulled away in the final few minutes lost 20-4

In my experience as a Trinity fan this is the third time we’ve played Wiggoon in a QF… third time lucky?!?!?

Wigan tend to be most threatening on the edge of the middle.

The props are not big meter makers but work very hard in defence.

Bateman isn’t the player he once was but he still clocks up big meters and Farrell week in week out posts big meters.

Our centres and halves in defence will be in for a busy day I expect however if they can win that battle it will go a long way to laying a platform for a win.

Come on down folks

£15 a pop for one of our biggest games in recent history is a bargain, an absolute bargain
