A win this week will be a tremendous result and a big step to securing a play off spot. Defeat keeps a lot of pressure on us.


A victory keeps it in our hands as the number of games left in the season reduces.. Its going to be a battle but the way we have played we have nothing to fear.

Hopefully we've got some bodies back in order to assist in the challenge! 

It sure would, fingers crossed.

Looking forward to it and will be in the 1873 Lounge for a change from the North Stand.

Think we need maybe 5 wins to make sure of the top 6.

Up the Trin!

Next four game will hopefully fall our way.


Both teams are capable but we have 2 easier and 2 hard games
Hull have 1 easier and 3 hard games.


We can shake that up even more if we beat Sts but of course if we can, so can they


Wakefield


Sts (H)
Salford (A)
Wigan (A)
Hudds (H)

Leeds (H)

You have to fancy us to beat Salford and Huddersfield, although Huddersfield are showing signs of improvement.
If we could get something from the Saints game, it would put us in line for a play off spot and pull Saints back.
It's a big ask but, it's possible


Saints are giving us 4 start on the handicap so, it should be another close one.


It's a decent weather forecast too so, ideal for a game of Rugby League, cant wait !

I can see us getting 3/4 next 4 games. Let’s not forget we also have Cas and Salford again afterwards I think. 

Wigan are awful last 3/4 games. They’ve really been finding it tough to get any foothold in games especially the forwards where only Mago is punching any holes. 

Saints will be a big game and if we can seal the points on Friday we are well and truly in the driving seat. Also, 2 points behind Saints with Salford to play means w could draw level with saints and even look to overtake them next few weeks. 


This is certainly a big game. I feel if we win Friday we are looking at 4/5th finish. If not I think we will still finish 6th but it will be a bit more of a testing shoot out with Hull. 


Nobody can say it’s not exciting!

We'd have to go on a big winning run to be looking at 4th.


5th if we beat Sts is possible but they play Huddersfield and Cas in their run in as well as Hull so we'd have to beat them and win two more games than they do to take 5th off them

No, we would only have to win one more potentially if we beat them to take 5th from them. Not two. Which is highly possible with Salford x 2, Hudds x 1, Cas x 1 and a faltering Wigan. 

We need to beat them Friday to really drag them back into our sights though. 


5/7 is what I think and is a realistic outcome on 32 points. 

Not only was the win against Leeds immensely pleasing but also it was great to see our game management which according to some commentators and observers was ` Play Off ` standard. For me it was our best performance for many a season. We were patient, composed, structured, risk adverse at the correct time and in correct areas of the field, attacked with skill and flair when in good field position and tough in defence. So we are in great form going into the Saints match and we are going to have to be. Looking at the Saints v Cas match it seems that Saints have found their mojo, their attack was slick and structured. Line speed is key for me, Cas gave Lomax all the time in the world we need, I think it will be a brutal contest against two strong teams. Bookies giving us a 4 point start, should be a belter. 

I’m looking forward to a good match up - saints are the only side I don’t feel we’ve done ourselves justice against so hopefully the boys can set a marker here going into the business end of the season.


Listening to a fans forum on the heritage podcast earlier in the season there was a guy (rude - can’t remember the name) who was adamant we could get to the grand final this year…. I’m getting on board with that. No one would want us in the playoffs at the moment.

The one obvious change which certainly helped against Leeds was that when available we took the two points rather than run it which was our previous preference.

Heard today that only 350 tickets sold to Saints fans. Very disappointing when Matt was looking to another sell-out. In his interview with Martyn Sadler he made it clear that continuous full houses could determine the extent of ground expansion.
