| If they play the same side as they did against Salford then I really don't see why we can't hammer them...

Must be very hard for the Aussie players with young families left behind, especially with the relentlessly cold weather we're having. Hope it refreshes him for when he comes back.

| I cant really bring myself to mention the fifta episode but really!!
our only hope now is top 8 and this is not a must win for that- we are no chance as their halfbacks and people that set up tries are way way better than ours - no matter how the forwards go.

I don't get what you mean... the backs generally rely on the forwards making the hard yards to set them up and put something on?

Yeah it's unfortunate for him obviously, but I suppose him getting a chance to see them now is a bonus for him, I haven't got a problem with him being allowed to go, if he's injured and can't play then fair enough. I think we'd all agree whenever he's pulled on a Trin shirt he's given nothing less than a 100% every time.

Maybe Salford thought the same and ended up getting nilled!! I get what you are saying, they will be understrength, probably more so than us, but I can't see us hammering them, we have to up our attacking game somehow, we need to create more chances, for all it was gutsy at Hull, they gifted us 3 tries, with the pace we have. For me we just haven't clicked yet with ball in hand, maybe the weather, i'm sure we're all p****d off with it, let's hope the pitch dries up somewhat, and it's dry on Sunday.......

Most likely the same team as none of the injured props are due back for another 3 weeks at least.

We should still have plenty in the forwards to cope with Leeds.
The main issue is whether we can beak down their defence often enough and then execute properly.
He will be a big miss but hopefully we can still do a job against Leeds.
The drain on their limited numbers of forwards must be huge, especially coming off the back of the Easter games.
We should be able to freshen things up again and the back line will be really interesting.
Apart from our right edge getting done (as it was against Wire), every player who came in against Hull will be pushing for a spot and Arundel is a must, he's our best option for getting his wing man away and we certainly need to be able to score a few.
Come on Trin !

Yeah agree with what you say, i'm also a big fan of Arundel, but Lynne and Bill have been excellent so far, Chester is spoilt for choice in the backs, no doubt, it will be interesting to see who he picks, I wonder if Max will keep his place???

| I hope Jowitt, Hampshire and Batchelor keep their places. The centre and wing spots will be tough because they all played welll on Monday but at the same time Johnstone loves playing against Leeds.

Yeah right,
Wouldn't surprise me if several of your injured players are back for this game.
Also the one and only Kendal is the ref so I am predicting another very difficult afternoon for Trinity.

| Be interesting to see how CC goes!
Full back is a tough one...Grix had a nightmare last year at home to Leeds though...one of very few I must say...he’s been a brilliant signing and still has a lot to offer...I’d go with Jowitt though...was a bit rusty at Hull but is a class player who needs a run of games to see if he can prove he’s good enough...I’ve a theory that Grix’s lack of pace just lets him down a little against the better teams but his brain is vital against the lesser sides...maybe you could say the same in the halves with Finn...maybe the small percentage edge we need in those tight games against the better teams could be to play the younger, quicker players in Jowitt and Hampshire...we lose experience but worth a try for me...
Wingers I can see being TJ and BJB, just think they are our best two options...really tough in MCB at the minute but I think those two just edge him out...over the course of the season he will still get plenty of chances though and won’t let anyone down when playing...
Centre is another tough one as Arundel has been so unlucky to be missing out...I think technically he’s our best centre but all round just behind the other two...i’d keep shuffling them round as the season goes on, for this game though I think it’s a straightforward decision...Bill has to play left centre against Watkins...their main danger man and they had a fantastic tussle in this fixture last year that ended about even...in the other side Handley has been playing really well lately but in previous seasons has looked a bit lightweight at times...for that reason I’d prefer Lyne who could get on top of him physically...
Batchelor surely has to keep his shirt and the only other change I’d consider is bringing in Annakin for a bench spot...if Leeds are struggling a bit in the forwards and show any signs of fatigue backing up after Easter, then Annakin’s style of play could prove really effective off the bench!
It’s a big game this and one we can certainly win if we can put a good 80 minutes together!

| I thought our home game against them in last years super 8's was one of our better performances, we really snuffed them out and took every chance we had in a sparkling performance. I'd settle for something near to that on Sunday, whoever plays I'm sure they'll give it all they've got, fingers crossed for a win.
