Only 5 days to the game and we haven't even started a thread on it yet
Anyone going....are we likely to struggle again like we did against Swinton...any of our injured players returning ??

Travelling up by car calling for lunch on the way. Not played there since 1998 promotion season when the players led by Garen Casey sang to the Wakefield fans for the first time. I expect us to carry on the way we are going tiring teams out, Whitehaven will give it a go but I fully expect us pulling away in the second half.

Few things I’d like to see:

Jowitt at FB
Walmsley on Wing

The experiment is over and we need to build consistency with players in strongest positions.

Pratt had a defensive mare and while I’d be happy to see him in again I’d be happy for Croft to get a shot.

Uele will likely return and sounds like a niggle.

I’d like to see Bain at 13 too. He’s got some hands on him and an offload. I’d like to see him employ a Westerman style of play in taking it to line and drawing defenders before looking to release the ball. Could add something to our attack in middle.


I would like to see a much stronger start this week too. Can’t keep letting teams get on top at periods in the first half.

I was there waiting with the team for the score to come through from Hunslet.

Me too

not going unfortunately, cant do either of the Cumbria trips this year due to prior engagements which I'm disappointed about, they were the ones I'd picked out before the season

Looking forward to this, loving the Championship tour so far. Going back to places I have not been for what seems an age

We'll be there.

Setting off Sat am, returning Monday.

Looking to have a stop off on the way up for some nosh somewhere in the Lakes

Driving up myself and going to make a couple of days of it.

It will be interesting to see what type of team we have if Gale and Lino are both still injured

Went to Whitehaven once, in a mini clubman, £8 filled the tank and the radio was busted.
Got there 10 mins before kick off to find the game had been called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

went home....:/

The Trinity 2024 Tour is giving us some new experiences, that's for sure.
It's a whole new adventure.
With Barrow, Whitehaven and Toulouse plus, Wembley, it's all good fun.
Throw in the old favourites of Odsal and Post Office Road, Mount Pleasant et and its way better than I imagined.

We're hoping to go every away game this season by public transport. Apart from Toulouse and Whitehaven, we can get to Whitehaven but can't get home we can only get black to Leeds, and that's if the train turns up.
Every trip is an adventure and we're looking forward to away games in a way I've never done before.
