I am surprised we have Innes Senior in the squad because he will be playing against his parent club which was not allowed in the past.

Difficult decisions to be made, does CC pick Jowitt so he has a ready made scapegoat for the post match interview or leave him out and try and find someone else to blame, if we lose?

Looking at squads theres no excuse to lose or should i say if the squad absences where the other way round qe couodnt expect to win.

Although i am confident of a win and a comfy win at that.adding to a win for kr will give us a bigger cushion

I hope that he picks Jowitt because he's our best FB.

No excuses for player or coach on Sunday.
We should be fresher and close to full strength.

Come on Trin !

I hope so too but I can see him missing out.

Think it could be lino

Oh, come on that's a bit OTT. I agree we should be capable of a strong challenge but Hudds away is never an easy game regardless of the relative team strength.

I'm not against your optimism, but it has to be tempered with an acceptance that at the moment we are the lesser team over all, though not by as much as I'd expected this year.

Apparently Lino is an injury doubt

Don't get the "no excuses" thing.

I agree it's a strong squad, assuming everyone is playing fit (we know Fifita isn't)

But that does mean we'll just win.

It's a hard game any time. We might play great, with no excuses but Giants might be better or they just get lucky.

I wonder sometimes whether people just watch the scores waiting to get a chance to moan.

Just support the team and see what they can do.

I don’t get the difference between other teams not expected to win because of their depleted squads but it shouldn’t make a difference when it’s us ! The number of weeks we’ve played top teams with key players missing !! Here’s hoping we do go and get a much needed win !

PT, we may win and equally we may not.
However, with pretty much our first choice 17 on the pitch and with Hudds having played an extra game, with a busted squad, we "should" be winning these games, end of.
Of course, we've won "harder" games and we've lost plenty of "easier games".
However, ultimately, Huddersfield are one of the clubs around us in the league and just what would it take for you to suggest that Trinity should be coming back with 2 points.

Of course the game has to be won but, if we cannot beat a side with 9? of their first choice 17

Short of another 6 of their players pulling out of the squad, this is as good a chance as we are ever likely to get.

Are there any excuses for not beating them ?

What i dont understand is if we had as many top players out as hudds and hudds had as many first team regulers as we do alot would be saying we cant be expected to win but because its in our favour we still shouldnt win but yet peeps who sy that sy cc is the right man for the job.i have alredy stated i am very confident we will win and if we lose there will be no excuses
