What to do for this game.. The CC could provide a win and give the squad a chance to gain some confidence, with 3 returning from injury do you stick with the same team or attempt to mix it up a little.
New half back partnership
Bring in younger players.
Select a new
Its going to be interesting to see if the club intend to make progress or see it as an unwelcome distraction.

Why would you change the half back partnership after 2 games ? It’s more game time together they need imo . Hopefully Jowitt back at fullback along with Kyle wood and Eddie Battye ..

We wont have 3 back

How about we play fully fit players

Cocker
We know what Miller brings to the table, play Rocky (IF FULLY FIT)
Arundal in the centre.
I get your point about playing a more settled side, but we have plenty of games coming up against top teams that we will need oirstrongest squad for. The cats game can be used to take a look at other squad members.

he needs to get all the injured players fully fit, I’ve not spoke to Ryan but I can tell a mile off he doesn’t look fit by the way he’s moving and getting about and he hasn’t for 12 months. If we have to throw the cc to get players fit for the sl battle then so be it

Mopsey
Totally agree, get players fit. If we are not to progress in the C C play a mix of established players and squad.
Its another season without a good C C run but I have a feeling we will need a more solid squad for the battles to come.

Lets see hoe Catalans go today against Shudds.

Suggested team depending on fitness
Jowitt/Hampshire
Johnstone/Tupou

Westerman
Subs
Tanginoa
Green
B.Walker

Haven’t seen enough of bowes to comment but if Kyle wood is fit he has to be in the 17 , if not wood and crowther so far haven’t created a great deal . Personally think crowther would probably edge batchelor in back row . hard to pick team until you know who’s available and I guess some on here with their enigmatic comments either know more or think they know more than me. Catalans are probably a stronger team in terms of available 1-17 than either Leeds or Wigan .

We need to get the ball to Johnston tupo lyne in space we won’t beet Catalan with the give it to Dave or the tj miracle tries

If Lino or Hampshire are injured I wouldn’t hesitate to run with Brad Walker, the lad is ready imo.

I'm dreading this one.

In true trinity fashion, we will win this one.

Play our best team this at moment is only chance we have of doing something other than just surving this season
we wont win a super league game with our draw for a long time so put all efforts into this

Sorry think we’re inf for a tonking

I can't see us standing up to the Big Catalans pack. Happy to be proved wrong though!

Tompkins is in great form too.

Trinity have no cup form and have not had since 1979!

We don't stand a chance with this load of bedwetters, I'm joking (just) but they don't seem to have much fight in them.

Normally we'd have a chance if we caught Catalan being complacent but I honestly don't think this lot have the desire to win even in those circumstances, some I suspect would take having to play a few extra matches in a cup run as an imposition.

Not like me this but I've totally lost faith with the current team.

A few exceptions, I think Miller and Arona are playing their hearts out, TJ is still a star and Fifita showed glimpses against Wigan, the rest I am not happy with to varying degrees. In fairness, as we are only two games in I won't name my hit list, not that I think they would care for one minute.

He could be on one leg he'd still have way too much class for us.

You had a go at me when draw was made cos i said we didnt stand a chance now look at ya

Jowitt will be back and maybe battye..by sounds of it i dont think they know when k wood will be back he says hopefully next week but the injury isnt healing as it should and he was expected to be back by now.hampshire is struggling still with his knee and a walker out for around 6 weeks

I'm not sure anyone enjoys having a go at the club, it's just an opportunity to let off some steam.
The club tend to leave themselves open to. It's not all based on this season either it's frustration built up over the last 2 seasons that's turned in to anger.

From his pre match press conference, it doesn’t sound like he is going to be changing the team up at all. Also hearing that some of the younger lads could be going on loan, can we afford to be sending them out and just sticking with the same team again and again?

No you don't

What better way of giving the fans and club a lift than going out and giving it to Catalans and coming away with a win .
Quite depressing really when we are in the mindset that we have no chance at such an early stage in the season.
Get some pride back in the shirt ,go and play your hearts out ,whoever gets on the park and prove to us ,the long beleaguered fans that playing for trinity means more than just going through the motions week in week out .
