Why on earth would anyone make that up Avenger?
I'm not sure there is anything to 'buy'.

It wouldn't matter if the players were helping someone else anyway.

It's worth noting that Carney was praised for trying to calm things down and protecting Cas supporters when Widnes fans were on the field at the semi final.

You'd think Carney would be amongst the Shudds families. Trying to pull.

must be the easiest thing RFL have ever done to identify the morons involved, zoom in to all 20 of them, easy

As I said, I stand corrected so well done the players for acting like proper men and protecting their loved ones.

It's a tough call, Hall has been great since his return to the side but then so has Jowitt.

It's a nice problem to have and to be fair, I won't be unhappy to see either of them on the team sheet.

Can't see Bibby playing if I'm being honest and Johnson and Caton-Brown are out injured so I think we'll push Evalds out to the wing and have four forwards on the bench or we'll possibly put Jones to centre and Griffin to wing bringing Sarsfield or Lannon into the second row.

Personally I think we'll go with:

O'brien
Evalds
Griffin
Sa'u
Carney
Wood
Dobson
Kopczak
Tomkins
Griffin
Jones
Murdoch Masila
Lannon

Flanagan
A Walne
Forster
Joseph

Matt Sarsfield is awful I wouldn't have him anywhere near the 17.

Looking forward to the game, you have picked up a couple of outstanding wins over easter and will be full of confidence. Again I think we need start fast and knock the stuffing out of you early doors, if we fall behind and the crowd get behind Trin I fear we may come unstuck.

I see the bookie give us 4 start. Good we always seem to to come unstuck as favourites.

Not wishing to add to the pressure but this is a financially important game. With two big SL teams visiting BV over the following weeks we really need to look good on the TV. Hull and Wigan are on a high and will travel in numbers and if we can tempt the stay aways back we could be looking at a couple of 8,000+ which I'm sure is at the top end of what we will have budgeted for. Also the "fact" and I'll accept it as such though I still have some doubts that everyone now pays full wack thats a lot of cash.

Shouldn't be to tricky as I thought the Hudds game was far better attended than I expected. I know RL and Trinity have a habit of messing these things up and I also know we are not that good all of a sudden that we can summon up a win on demand - but if we could it would I suspect put us properly in the black - and should we stop up give us a far better base to work from next season.

Just as a point of note the capacity at BV is currently set at 7,236. You would like to think that a win would mean we could push for a sell out but i'd bet my bottom dollar that it will be a fair way short.

Well our recent winning form hasn't done us too much harm. I've had 3 people ask to join me for this game on Saturday

Is that all it is, shame but 7000 would be fine.

The Griffins always seem to come back to haunt us too.

More worried over those two than any of the others tbh.

Carney is the SL top metre maker an Koppy is the top try scoring forward. We have strike players all around.
