Solid looking 19 just been released. If they play to their potential and link up well together then there should be no reason they can't turn over KR, possibly by a decent margin. That being said, it's the first game and it's away from home, it's hardly a "must win" game

They're all must win games, we won't win em all for sure but if we go into each game with your mentality we'll finish up with the also rans.

Who misses out from the listed 19? Hampshire and Annakin?

No they are not all must win games at all. You must always treat every game as winnable but they are not the same thing imo.

Which is what I said, the only difference is in the interpretation.

Apart from the fact that its likely to be just above freezing (but feel like -10), this should be a cracking game.
KR , having just been promoted and with masses of local support will be bouncing.
If we can weather their early enthusiasm and avoid injuries, we should be coming back to Wakey with our first 2 points.
We need the ref not to be swayed by the baying home crowd but, our pack looks way too good for theirs.
Tight discipline and patience and the game is there to be won.

Wakefield by 10. Come on Trin !

Latest tickets are also, with rest, in the Colin Hutton Stand. Actually better seat, block nearer middle.

In your case yeas but there are some on here who take it literally

must win in my eyes- you don't get this game back - we need to be betting teams like HULL KR home and away this season to be a chance of the top 4...

you guys will laugh and say it isn't but how many points did we miss out on the 4 last year by?

every team in the top 4 will have beaten Hull kr at home it doesn't matter if it is the first round or the 16th.

I mostly agree with that. We are being far too reserved imo in our predictions. This stems from years of caution I guess but i see no reason we can’t come out and put a healthy score on.

No such thing as a must win game in round one!

There is quite literally only one "must win" game, and that is the last possible game which keeps us in Super League for the following season. Anything beyond that is not a "must win" game.

Do I think we have the squad to make the Top 4 - quite possibly.
Would it be the end of the world if we don't make the Top 4 - No
Does it really matter if we don't beat Hull KR, and will it define every future game in the season - No

Spot on. However on a positive note I'd say a Cup final is a must win game in its own way but that's it.

Safe trip to all those 'Dreadnoughts' heading over tomorrow.....

Its not a must win but its a should win. Don't think we need to edge our bets this season the squads good enough to pull it off.
It also depends how you look at things you could say a semi finals a must win to reach the final. You could also say the game v HKRs a must win to go into round 2 with a win under the belt and 2 points.

I'd rather treat a a game as a "must win" than a "should win". If you start treating games as a "should win", you can very easily get stung. See Chelsea result last night.

Sot on there Wilzay lad, there should be no room for complacency.

But it's not a must win game that's the point. I'm sure they do try and treat it as such but it isn't.

Must win for me 2 points good start to the campaign

Brian McDermott summed it up perfectly on BBC radio Leeds last night when asked a question about Stevie Ward not playing he responded "If it was a final he would be playing, but we are not going to risk him for a regular weekly fixture"

If this was a must win game then we would have to throw everything at it, but it is not..This is the first game of the season and we have a full season to think about.

For the people saying this is a must win game, do you then put it in the same bracket at the MPG?

Ultimately its a game we should be winning to be in the top 8. If we are wanting to finish above a team like Hull KR, we should be taking the 2 points from them, and in the process preventing them from gaining 2 points.

BetFred giving 6/5 for a straight Hull KR win so I might have a lump at that just to make a defeat a bit more tolerable. Would be happy to walk away with a hit in the pocket.

EDIT: Hull KR now 11/8

I bet that you would settle for losing tomorrow if we went unbeaten for the rest of the season afterwards (including the cup)

I have it on good authority as of yesterday we have sold over 900 tickets so looks like we will have nearly 1000 supporters. Really good sales so come on Trin.

A little belated but we'll done Wakefield.

We were following the game in a tapas bar.

It sounded like we won quite easily without really hitting top gear.

Hopefully no injuries.

Can't wait for Salford game.

Bring it on
