Yes you are correct. Just put a reminder on phone as will have only just finished work when Sky match kicks off. Beer in the fridge for later as it’s going to be a hot one and will no doubt need a few watching us later.

Is it a must wing BOJ?

Without knowing the full process it’s hard to judge. There has to be some sort of evidence sent and perhaps the evidence is then verified. However after the statement from the RFL saying they will come down hard on teams trying to postpone it makes you wonder if you hardly need to submit any evidence for the ones isolating or you just give NHS a list of players numbers and they just stick them in the track and trace even though been nowhere near the people testing positive.

I think we are getting a little carried away with conspiracies. I expect that SL will have structures in place to check the validity of any results. The fact we played last season despite Covid absences was admirable but it was our choice, maybe because it had no threat to our league status.
I wonder if some are more concerned about the fact that they no longer believe we can win and are already getting their justification in place.

You may be right but I can't see where they have gained much of an an advantage? Bit of extra time off, but still missing almost the same number of players and now they don't even have home advantage. An odd state of affairs.

The issue isn't with the fabrication of a positive test (that's pretty difficult to forge) its with the conveniently produced contact tracing that puts 7 other players in the same training group, you only need 1 positive taest, its the isolation o 7 players through contact tracing that triggers the COVID protocols, not difficult at all to produce the required information.

Im not sure how there squad have changed i know the big forward seb was out but back now but we are considerably weaker

That's true but in fairness, they could not have known that would happen.

No they couldnt to be fair

They couldn't have known that we would be weaker but, they would certainly know that they would very likely be able to field a stronger side.
Lets hope that the neutral venue negates any on field advantage that they may have gained.

That's totally true, I definitely think Salford have been canny to be polite but cheating? Not sure but we will never know so instead we may as well use it as motivation I suppose.

Had Salford not been "gifted" a win by Cas last week, this would have been an absolutely HUGE game for them and Trinity would definitely have been on a very short list of "possible" home wins.
2 weeks ago, they would definitely have struggled and now, they go into the game as favourites.
It all stinks but, as you say, we have to get on with it and hopefully use the situation to gain every last bit of motivation.

Come on Trin !
