Griffiths? Wasn't it his brother who stitched us up with the forward pass decisions last time?

No the one you mean is Liam Moore's brother Aaron, Thought Marcus Griffiths and Ben Thaler were the best refs on show at the weekend, hope I haven't spoke too soon.

Thanks.

Has he reft again since then do you know?

I saw him ref a championship game he looks very much like his brother, but I'm not sure he's been in charge of a super league game since, I'd like to think he'll ref all the rest of Toulouse's games, then with our luck perhaps not.

Is Taufua ready to play then for you? I read somewhere he might be held back to get upto scratch but im guessing that result at Magic has changed all that..and is Lino back too?
Got the air of a must win game for Wakefield but it's not too far off for us either. Gonna be a sweltering one Sunday too

As each day passes the temperature forcast gets more worrying. I think everyone wants to see a proper contest and not a farce played out in weather that RL should not be played in. To me the sensible thing to do would be to make this an evening kick off.

For me…

Jowitt
Taufua
Hall
Batchelor
Murphy
Miller
Lino
Fifita
Hood
Whitbread
Tanginoa
Pitts/Ashurst
Walker

Bowden
Arona
Bowes
Ashurst/Pitts

So we going to drop a winger who is giving 100%, Split the only ,winger partnership we have had all season and put a second rower in the .I hope not

In answer to your question they will probably be named in the full squad but if they appear in the final 17 is never certain. I would think Lino should be back but not sure of the extent of his injury and yes we do tend not to play a new signing in the first game. I think in the current situation we will make an exception but who knows.

Betfred giving 4/11 for a Rovers win so they obviously give Trinity very little chance (23/10)

Toulouse getting 13/8 to beat the preferred Rhinos (1/2)

Those odds mean Diddly squat if we turn up with our minds focused on the job ahead , we will be more than a match for HKR , likewise Leeds on current form will brush Toulouse aside even taking in account the forecast temps , it’s not like us in the uk are in sub zero temps , so a few degrees here or there will make no difference

I’d go with…..

Jowitt
Taufua
Hall
Batchelor
Murphy
Miller
Lino
Fifita
Hood
Whitbread
Ashurst
Pitts
Crowther

Subs
Bowes
Arona
Bowden
Tanginoa

I've been isolated because of Covid, but has Taufau arrived, as everyone is selecting him.

Why cant we put Taufua at centre ?

It would appear his history suggests he is a winger only playing centre twice however, Batchelor is a loose forward, I don’t know but how many times has he played at centre. The logic suggests play the person whose skills set is the backs and let Batchelor play in the pack.
