So two weeks away from the first game of the super league season. We are already hit with injuries to a number of players already with Harry Newman, Alex Sutcliffe, Rob Lui, Callum McLelland and Jack Walker on the sidelines, now we add Ash Handley to the equation. By the sound of Richard Agar: Hurrell, Gale, Tetevano, Eastmond will all be ok for the game, with a slight doubt over Tom Holroyd.

Thought Broadbent was very good today at full back and personally would give him the opportunity whilst we get Eastmond fully up to scratch.

Broadbent
Briscoe Sutcliffe Hurrell Briscoe
Myler Gale
Oledzki Leeming Tetevano
Mellor Martin
Smith

Dwyer Vuniyayawa Prior Thompson/Donaldson

Eastmond/Walters/O’Connor

Think Myler deserves to start at FB after last season.
Would go fit Broadbent on wing if Hanley out.
Eastmond will be good to go with Gale. Experienced and quality player....

Myler
Briscoe
Hurrell
Sutcliffe
Broadbent

Eastmond
Gale

Oledzki
Leeming
Tetevano
Mellor
Martin
Prior

Dwyer
King
Thompson
Donaldson

Both Briscoes will be on the wings if Handley is out which looks likely.

Yep coaches are generally cautious.I personally would play Broadbent on the wing assuming Myler at fullback and Gale and Eastmond in the halfs, Hurrell and Sutcliffe centres. My team would be
Myler
Briscoe
Sutcliffe
Hurrell
Broadbent
Eastmond
Gale
Oledzki
Leemimg
Tetevino
Mellor
Martin
Prior

Dwyer
Thompson
Smith
Walters

Wakefield Trinity (H)

Yep it's your away game that you play at home. Crazy

Did Wakefield make their stadium available to host one of the opening two rounds of games?

Agreed. That's why Last season and this season are basically just training runs.
Why can't this game be at Belle Vue?

Because Sky are showing every game so it makes ‘sense’ to have them all played at a ground that can accommodate all the fixtures.

Quite, which in turn means season ticket holders can see the coverage provided by Sky.
It was known the first two rounds would be played in one location, and at two of the grounds covid-secured last year for multiple games to be played on them. If Wakefield didn't want to go to the cost or difficulty of making Belle Vue one of these then they can't complain when someone else did. Leeds, in turn, play a home game at St Helens the following week.

And if all the games weren’t being shown on sky people would just moan about that instead.

We have to accept that the first part of the season isn’t going to be a ‘normal’ one and crack on.

I think the players and coaching staff would disagree about "just training runs".
