Although it seems far fetched, you have to win 4 games to get there and the first one is against Halifax.

All of the squad and management should be buying into the idea at this stage.
If we get knocked out later, so be it and we can get back to SL survival.

It's an ideal chance for everyone to forget about the league and chase the dream.

Come on Trin !

I agree wrencat , even getting to semis would be a tremendous boost , could really build confidence and create some momentum.

I have been waiting for 36 years for another trip to Wembley. Don't hold your breath. We have lost in Cup games with much better teams than we have now. I don't expect to see Trinity at Wembley again in my lifetime. Should they achieve the almost impossible however there would be no prouder fan than me at the game.

Im expecting our pack to get on top of Wakeys but Im not too sure we will have enough quality in the backs to get the win. That said if we get a couple of early tries then I expect Wakey players heads to drop and we could run out easy winners. Wakey havnt the quality to put the cleaners through us so a close one either way or decent Fax victory.

I would give Hall,Ali and Kirmond a rest. Smith and Sammut half back pairing as this is a good practice game to see if it works and to re-kindle the excellent partnership that rudely got interupted. Jowitt fullback excellent first team experience against Halifax. Hall , Kirmond and Ali been ever present they don't need to prove anything to me, deserve a rest ready for the Wigan game next week.

i'm a season ticket holder but i can't believe what i read on monday that we have thrown in the towel on the league and we are waiting for the middle 8. very upset i spend £200 plus on a season ticket to then hear this so no i wont be at the game friday and i wont be buying a season ticket next season one miffed off fan

Think you've misunderstood a little, focusing on the middle 8 is not the same as "throwing the towel in"

Can't give three out of the 19 selected for the game a rest so I think Hall would definitely play as Jowitt not in the 19 which is the first choice 19 of those fit to play with Kavanagh excluded due to the lateness of his signing yesterday.

As for the other two I'd agree if carrying knocks. Kirmond hasn't been an ever present and was rested a couple of games back. Ali in last season of career and will be needed in more important games.

Totally agree with Shirley Briggs. I too am a season ticket holder and paid the full price for mine. Survival in Superleague although essential should NOT be at the expense of saving the team for the last 7 games. I want to be entertained. I dont expect us to win every game but I expect 100 percent effort every game from the coach and players. I think the coach should resign for his comments. If we do fail to compete in any more games in the normal season our crowds will be so low there will be no point staying in superleague because the club will be bankrupt. However , the real culprit in all this is Red Hall who have saddled us with a flawed system that allows teams to lose all the 23 games in the main season then just beat 3 or 4 championship teams . That makes a mockery of the first 23 rounds.

If our pack puts in the same performance of previous weeks you may have a point. I expect a far higher level of performance than previous weeks. I'm going with the wounded animal theory. Last weeks embarrassment of ours was probably the worst result for Fax. However I do expect Moore to have a stormer.

Think Ali has another season after this!

Sorry my mistake yes he is with us thankfully until the end of the 2016 season (unless it's the championship I bet) but he is 36 in 11 weeks and Trinity need to ensure he is fit and playing in the most important games.
