totally agree

Could be another 80 pasting due to our lack of interest to defend recently.

I get the logic but it never seems to work like that. In the past Trinity have always done well when least expected and have always come crashing down when expected to do well. If you want to wait for a revival against so called 'lesser' teams that's fine but if you fail to beat them then there is no plan B.

Also I'm a great believer in momentum in sport, I honestly don't believe you can husband your resources and win games on demand, there is no 'go out and play' button.

For me its simply to risky, I want to see us chance our arm and try to get a result from every game, doesn't have to be a win just a good performance, then when we do meet so called 'beatable' teams we at lest have some form.

That's how I see it.

Attempting to be optimistic here but maybe this will lull Warrington into a false sense of security

The 19-man squad in full is:

Connor BAILEY
Danny BROUGH
Mason CATON-BROWN
Jack CROFT
Jordan CROWTHER
Anthony ENGLAND
David FIFITA
Titus GWAZE
Ryan HAMPSHIRE
Keegan HIRST
Ben JONES-BISHOP
Lee KERSHAW
George KING
Craig KOPCZAK
Reece LYNE
Jacob MILLER
Pauli PAULI
Kelepi TANGINOA
Kyle WOOD

If all fit, I would go with -

Hampshire
BJB
Lyne
Croft
Caton-Brown
Miller
Brough
Kopczak
Wood
King
Tanginoa
Pauli
Crowther

Fifita
England
Hirst
Bailey

I know Bailey can play all over the park, so is useful to have on the bench - Crowther seems to have a really good engine and could give Wood a break at 9 so he doesn't have to play the full 80. Overall I don`t think that is a bad looking team given the circumstances - The only one I wasn`t sure about is whether to go for MCB at Centre and Kershaw on the wing instead of Croft in the centre and MCB on the wing.

Id go with this but just a slight change for me.

I think King will probably take up position at loose not prop. King to the bench and England to start.

All seems to have gone quiet re.Tupou's return, has he had a setback in his recovery??

I’d put gwaze in instead of England and let’s see what the lad can do ,everyone thinks it’s a no win game so for me stick the lad in and give England a rest as he’s clearly playing with a back injury and nowhere near up to his early season form

tupo said in Wakefield express about two weeks ago he was at least two weeks off .

Can’t see anything other than a slaughter - we are actually lacking ten players who would have featured in front of the team that’s playing so am hoping gallant losers

Honestly think if we resign Randell , kirmond Pauli and Huby (yes I know he has a year ) baldwinson some one wants shooting

Randell spends more time in pinderfiekds than the matron
Kirmond bin great but time caught him up
Huby same
Pauli disruptive influence and consistently underperforms
Baldwinson - if I passed him in street wouldn’t recognise him

I think this game is all about finding some for an unlikely win would be a massive bonus but form and fitness matters most imo.

If players are ready to come back, they play
That's not rushing them back, that's playing your best team.
Some of them might need the game time anyway, win or lose its an investment, you cannot shepherd players away from games because you think they might get injured.....that's nuts, just don't sign them in the first place.
If they need a week off or they're playing niggled, that's different, but to not play your best players if they're fit because you don't think you can win the game with or without them is.......................exactly what I expect to be reading in this forum, typical.
