I agree
It's as good a chance as we are going to get and to have any chance of survival (I know that this is very unlikely), we need to win this type of game, especially at home.
The fans can help too. Get there in good number and give the boys some support.

IF we could scrape a win on Friday and maybe v Shudds in a couple of weeks, Cas at home would become a huge game, absolutely huge.
Anyway, one game at a time and lets hope the boys can get over the line on Friday.

On a different note, why the hell is Lineham in the squad ?

One of first jobs for the new owner is to replace all our physio, medical and sports science people. They are obviously not fit for purpose. We need a much tougher regime. get rid of all this player welfare nonsense. Injured players should have to work an 8 hour day at the ground cleaning bathrooms, painting walls, litter picking, sweeping up etc. The goal should be to get players back on the field asap, it seems now that players are taking the michael and our warm heated soft medical team are falling for it. Players are commodities and we are simply not getting maximum usage out of them. The tail is been allowed to wag the dog

I would guess there are 2 things:

1. We have no other players left to pick.

2. If we want to sell him, we need him in the shop window!

I'm not sure other clubs seeing him perform is going to help that.

1. You think we have sports science people?
2. You may not see the value of player welfare but the players will and we'll lose players without it.
3. Player with acl injury working 8 hour day? That'll get him fit

Glad you are not in charge Belly

We had a coach a little while ago who came in and cracked the whip , we all know how that turned out . There has to be a balance obviously,and I’d like to think players are wanting to get out on the field and play for our club and not malingering whilst obviously being looked after both mentally and physically by the club .Long term or troublesome injuries can have such a detrimental effect on the person affected in any sport or walk of life for that matter ,and thank goodness the mindset has changed over the years to player welfare ,as players have a long way to go after their playing days are behind them ,and As a sport we have systems in place to help player who are struggling in these areas .

Will be interested to see how Lyne gets on, hes been out a while and taken some flack in regards to recent performances (most of which deserved) and the rumour about a move back to Hull next year. Hoping he comes back with a point to prove

Yes because the system that has been in operation for last few years has had such beneficial effects on player performance etc. Nothing to stop player with ACL injury been made to work at the club. We have a squad containing a number of lazy malingerers who stink the place out.

Tough game to call. Going to go with 14-10 to Trinity

I love your optimism .
I’m more of a realist - 30-6 to Salford and I hope I choke on my prediction!

Cannot be bothered with these Friday night games I won't be going it's a joke just a couple of games on a Sunday. I used to go to all away games don't bother much anymore and it's going the same way for home games on a Friday. I got the grandsons tickets but Fridays are out one plays football so has been lost to rugby the younger one at 4 just cannot last the pace and now wants to play football so probably 2 future fans of the sport lost now along with me. Commit 6 will see me do next season and should we go down other than the odd Monday it should go back to Sunday's happy days.

This is the huge disadvantage of Fridays (especially without the tv exposure). I’m deciding whether it’s worth taking my daughter as the last Friday night game I took her to she was getting tired and restless. Her Friday bedtime is 9pm latest.

Friday nights are horrible and if there’s any chance of Sunday rugby I hope the club dig heels in and say all games at home are played Sunday no matter what league we are in.

I bought a season ticket for my 6 year old but she’s been to 3 so far because they’re evening games. It’s just not family friendly for young kids.

I will keep going but evening games are not what I want.

100% must win or we are down

Mate we're down already, regardless of whether we win or not

We're down already pal.
Need to accept this and hope for a few decent performances to enjoy during the remainder of the season.

I have a season ticket but I am fed up with Friday night games. Its such a rush to get there after work and when we lose it ruins the whole weekend. I know we have no choice when on TV but surely the season ticket holders can request a poll to decide when they want the regular day to be . Or is it that corporate rules and we paying spectators don't matter ?

I like Friday night games and got my season ticket because of the amount of them this season, were they all Sundays then I'd have not bothered. Friday nights are generally free for us, weekends aren't always.

Re-Cas, yes they are in a better position but we still have to play them again. We are clear favourites for the drop but if we win a few more and they don't then it could get interesting.

Season ticket holders do have a poll, it’s the choice of buying or not buying a season ticket. I don’t particularly like Friday nights games, but as a supporter I choose to go, also I pay through the commit six, perhaps with no Sky deal possible, then clubs may revert back to Sunday games.

No sky deal? What have you heard?

Relegation to the Championship therefore no Sky money or interest.

It’s not just ST holders but walk up and away fans. I do think our attendances have slipped this season and a bit last without checking when we have seen a lot less games on a Sunday.

It’s more the long term impact it will have on associating new fans with the club. As a young lad I got hooked on Sunday rugby being taken by family. I’m struggling to do that with my children due to the times. As RWB mentions that’s potentially a list fan for the next 50+ years. It’s so much harder to get an older child or teenager into the sport if they haven’t been introduced at a young age.

It was incredibly positive seeing all the kids running to daddy cool and present enjoying the sun and game vs Leeds on Sunday. I don’t expect we’ll see even half of the same turning out this evening.

Reading the comments on here I think there definitely needs to be at the very least and equal number of Friday and Sunday games. No day will be perfect for everyone but at least with a 50 50 people will be able to bring young kids to half the games and the club can please the sponsors who want Friday nighrs

I love Friday night games, but the only games that should be played at that time are the Sky TV games.

Leeds Rhinos will never let that happen of course.

Greetings Trinity fans, I reckon 500 plus Salford fans will make the trip over tonight. We are without Brierley/Croft/Ackers so I assume we will be more conservative in attack and play 5 Props this evening if conditions are wet. Atkin was our best player last week with Wigan so happy he will be at 6. I know Wakey are missing 6-7 starters at least, who will play for Wakey this evening?

Just started raining here mate.
