It was only one game Pat

How many times did Leeds get tubbed last year?

I wouldn't be so downhearted. Twelve rounds in and you've had one really poor result.

Not being funny but over the last 20 years how many times have Wakefield only had one bad scoreline after half a season?

When asked on Twitter whether he would play he joked that he would because it was Cas.
Hope he only plays if he's ready.

I'm happy for Miller to captain.
Huby and Hirst are capable support with senior experience.

I know exactly what you mean. After hoping/expecting a win at Salford (always a bad thing as a Trinity fan) and getting beaten all over the park, it really is difficult to see how we can beat Cas, a side that has beaten us on so many occasions ove recent years.
Realistically, they (Cas) will need to have an off day and we will need our best performance of the season to get a result over there.
A partisan crowd and their toy pitch will mean that we have it all to do but, just in case all of the stars align in Trinity's favour, we need to be there and to give the boys some support.

Come on Trin !

got that bit right , it is OUR pitch

True, but Leeds are always there at the business end of the year, year after year they have proved that, we have yet to. Over the 20 years I've not seen a potentially more talented and cohesive squad then the one we have now. I'm probably just guilty of expecting too much, though it's difficult not to when you run top 4 teams close, beat the top side them lose to Salford (no disrespect to Salford but they lost their main play maker early on too!)

Hopefully we will put in a decent consistent performance. In all honesty I'm not overly fussed if we lose, given that it's an extremely hard place to win, it's the consistency of the performances that builds confidence and then results. I'm just hoping the Salford game hasn't deflated us as if this was the same trinity playing cas as it was saints then it would be a cracking contest.

Read that yesterday... is that something involving him then as it's a little vague.

Sounds like Lo is in the squad car rather than just the squad?

To be honest mate I've mellowed as I've got older. Sure I'll be smiling if we win (and thats not certain) but if its been a good game played in the right spirit and not decided by Hicks I won't be too downbeat if we lose.
We were spoilt last year and every one thought we would kick on even further but love or hate him it was never going to happen without Hardaker. Hearing there may be some shock news breaking regarding him this weekend.
