Shaw was on the bench. Booth was 18th Man. But your point is still correct.
We lost a hooker and had to replaced with a fullback.

Do not think we missed Hood Think it was more down to playing 21games this season with 14 still to go.We are missing our big hitting forwards big time because of been injured .Teams know now we have no pace down the middle of field ,and when we move the ball are moving up fast on Gale ,or Max so disturbin g the ball movement . Know this will not go down well with some but we are missing Lino sorry but he is the best we have got at present.In the second half we ran more direct and looked better for it.Enjoyed watching Smith looks a real fine .Prat gets better every game and think the winger we got from Leeds is going well, and fit every week not like some I can make .Think it is a case of do not rush players back ,if we lose a few matches so be it and be ready to go when it matters at the end of the season

Nothing against Liam Kay but you can see he is not comfortable at half, we have lost pretty much the attack down that side without Lino, Gale can only do so much as can Kay in his capabilities but you can see (and the tries Olpherts has scored) where the focus of attack is mostly. The team balance is off in regards to attack, which then rush plays leads to errors.
For me Batley played very well and only gave when fatigue kicked in, they never really looked 'dangerous' on attack but took the chances they got (admittedly off penalties for field position)

Once Lino is back, and as much as people may gripe, he does assist many tries. a couple of testers coming up (Particularly in Toulouse) but frankly Bradford don't really pose many threats to what they have the last twice we have practically blown them away (Mostly 2nd half as per most games)

Trinity have posted a message on Facebook saying that the reserve team are playing Bradford on Thursday does this mean we can use this game as Bain's one match ban? Can Bradford do the same with Pele?

I think that only is allowed if it’s in a different week to the first team game.

Yes that is correct. Bain will be a m for us but I think Pele will be a bigger miss for them. I like Pele, he is a Fifita type player, he was the right player but at the wrong time for Hull. I can see another Super League team taking a punt on him next season which is why he has only signed at Bradfford until the end of the year.

I suppose next season Pele could be both a risk and an advantage.

The tackle height lowers next year. Tackling Pele low will cause defences a huge issue. However Pele defensively would find it much more difficult to get low in the tackle especially around tackling pivotal players and will be a huge target for penalties.

Pele not playing will be a massive boost for Trinity the problem us wakey will only have 1 middle on the bench which isn't ideal. I supprised dp aint gone into the loan market

Hopefully we have a couple of players return.

One of Doyle or Hood and a prop or two would be nice.

Do we actually know what the issue is with Doyle, Bowden, Atoni a d maybe even Cozza?

Honestly though, even with injuries I’m still going to back us to win. The players this season have always found a way whether it’s pretty or not.

IN[listOUT

I have been told there will only 1 middle on the bench and i know smith isnt playing for the reserves at this moment so would assume hood or doyle are out.cozza is out for 3 months due to head knocks .

Atoni and Bowden definitely out.

How far off is Boothroyd?

Not sure tbh, but I can't see him from where I am..........

Wonder if the club are looking to bring in a middle or 2.if these guys are out for a while we are really thin in middle department esp with vangana been out for long period.it may not matter now but ky and caleb doing big stints could come into effect come the end of the season and the playoffs
