| It isn't getting any easier.
After Cas, who are running hot at the moment, Salford are the form team in the comp.
This one really will be a test for the boys, especially if we are without Miller and possibly one or two of our pack.
I'd happily sacrifice this one, if we can do them in the cup but, it's one game at a time
Come on Trin !

| Best team I've seen Trinity play this season. We were very fortunate to win the home game. The two games coming up will prove a difficult test but that's what this game is all about.

| I'm looking forward to it. Second against fourth. Hard to believe (although could be fifth again by Sunday). It's not a game I expect to win, and I don't think we've won at their new ground, but Wakey deserve a good following, just to applaud them for the run. If the game goes the way of the form book, so be it, but I can't see us out of the eight now. Do we seriously think that Catalan can win four more games than us out of the remaining seven?

No we actually smashed them there in 2013 I think. Mariano, Fox and Cockayne ran riot I think.

| They're running hot - but it would seem we are too; so whilst it's hard to see a win - it was hard to see one against Wigan too. Finally, we can have a reasonable expectation of a decent result from any game - happy days!

Correct - we won 46-10 there in 2013.

It's still best to expect nothing
Everything is a bonus then.
I still can't believe that Trinity are 3rd (joint) in the league after 16 rounds, totally on merit

| Gonna be the toughest game by far of our recent run, although coming back from 20 behind at Wigan is not easy.
If we can put in an 80 minute performance and stop the recent slow starts we can knock off Salford. They weren't that good against Leigh at Magic, huffed and puffed against a pretty ordinary side.

It is if we keep letting teams run up big leads before we fight back.
It's all very impressive and entertaining and show true grit - however we will come badly unstuck if we persist.
I'm not moaning or being negative, but emotions aside it's not really the way to do it. If that had been Cas, well you'd have the Cas game earlier this season all over again - we don't want that.
Think it's a mental thing - we need to impose ourselves on the game from the start and stick with it. You can't generally boss a game for 80 minutes but you can get cracking before 20 minutes is up.
Magic game against Widnes, that's how you do it - even when they fought back there was never a chance. Easier said than done I know, but if we want top 4 or a CCUP Final that's what we need to do.

You're not wrong; obviously everyone is chuffed to bits with yesterday's spirit and determination, and nobody wants to moan off the back of that - but we can't be starting games like that if we want to win anything. A decent side would have buried us after scoring a point a minute for the first 20.

| Wigan caught us cold Vasty, we looked up for it in the warm up, lots of high fives, circle of love before going back to changing room etc etc. From where I was sat it just looked like Wigan from the off decided to try and get round us on the out side and not to get involved with a arm wrestle in the middle, it worked, we lost all our line speed and they ran riot down our right edge. I also thought Walker was trying to hard, if that is possible, he shot out of the line at Williams a couple of times, Williams skipped round him and then our outside defenders had no chance. What was impressive was the way sorted this problem. I am not blaming Walker, he has had very little time to fit in to our defensive system, I like him and think he will be a great player for us. Plenty of teams will try the same tactics against us, not many will fancy getting over the top of our forwards. Cas and Salford have the half backs to test any defense out wide . Not sure how you defend it but what was great to see was us resolve the problem.
