Are there any stats to back up the new received wisdom that Grix is rubbish under a high kick? He's probably fluffed a few - but more than any other FB?

Its not just that he drops them its that on some occasions he does not even get near them/attempt to catch them

All I have said is imo he has a weakness under the high kick and with Broughs kicking game and knowledge of Grix weaknesses it may be wise to sit him out of this game

His overall performances (again imo) have been patchy of late in any event

Just been in to the shop for our 4 tickets and was told we have sold just short of 400 tickets, which the girl said was pretty good.

No Fifita or Huby in the squad, that is 2 big misses both metaphorically and physically.

Must have injuries surely Chester wouldn't omit them otherwise

It's not bad for Trinity.
We have notoriously tight fans but, plenty will be "walk up's" so hopefully we can at least out "sing" the Shudds fans and help the boys to victory !

Right now, we have a genuine chance at a top 4 spot and IF we can get a couple of early wins in the super 8's, maybe, the apathetic Wakefield public may just come down and watch.

Come on Trin !

Shudds are 4/7 favourites. Trin 6/4. Or you can get 4 start for Trin on the handicap.

Should be quite a few to be bought yet. Getting 4 myself tomorrow.Come on Trinity!

which stand do way fans go in/do i need to buy tickets for

Just look for the stand with the most fans in.

Chadwick Lawrence stand .

Why? Because he was a fantastic organiser of the defensive line and was very much respected by all the players who trusted his judgement. As for Grixy under the high ball comments. If he bombed one in the first 10 minutes he would struggle the whole game as he is very much a confidence player. If he takes the first few bombs he's usually pretty safe the whole game. I'm pretty sure Broughy will bomb him to death the whole game though!

Thanks Lyndsay

On Grix he's the best fb we have on our books and links really well, it's a nice change to have an outside back who can actually pass & it's no coincidence that our wingers have scored more tries this year than for the last 20 or so

On the high bombs - it's not just down to one man...we should be better organised to protect the catcher by shepherding attacking runners - watch any nrl side and even leeds or wigan who have succeeded in copying them well enough to dominate our game - we don't do it and pay the costs...we can't even defend short kick offs and i'm surprised more teams don't take them against us more regularly, they'd get the ball back 80% of the time

Use your Giants season ticket, be a lot easier for you.

just split my sides again VM...mind I suppose you gotta laugh cos that's about as funny as you geticon_smile.gif

For differing reasons, I'm glad to see Ridyard and Ferguson dropped out of the Shudds squad.

I like Ridyard. Imo a younger version of Finn. Good kicking game and. An organise. Wouldn't be a bad option for when Finn retires.

He's 31, just under two years difference, not sure I'm with you on this one tbh

Ha. Thought he was late 20s

Agree with the Ferguson being out bit, I think he's been their best forward when I've seen him play.

i'm glad ferguson's out - he has a knack of scoring, especially vs us...wish we'd have signed him from bulls

I don't.

Having watched saints v case tonight I think the standard's been set and we will need to up our intensity levels and make sure our defence is as good as it has been most of the season to compete as well as we have this year...saints looking ominously good and showing their win vs us was no fluke & for me we need to hunt down salford & hull for that 4th spot - lets hope hull are diverted by wembley as much as last year

Don't think Hull will make the same mistake twice in a row. Salford maybe we have a chance of leapfrogging them.

31 according to Wiki which tend to be fairly accurate these days - might be wrong though.
