Trinity through to the quarter finals in a hard earned but potentially costly game on regards injury. 

A few players possibly returning and the short turnaround could be an opportunity to freshen up the squad. 


Hull will be confident after a good win vs Wigan who after losing Field and Ellis seemed to fall to bits. Trinity should be confident too.


Personally with the short turn round I think I’d rotate a little. 


O.Russell, Roarke, M.Russell, J. Pitts, K. Rodwell, C.Scott, J. Griffin would all come in if fit for me. Or at least some of them. 


What’s everyone else’s thoughts? Will be a pretty even game I suspect. Would be nice to get a win and jump into top 5 and over Hull FC and get a home win. 


I’ve been impressed with the resilience of the team this year. 


Faatilli had his best game vs Hudds and there’s definitely a good player there. I was pleasantly surprised by Cozza, though mt he ran well and tackled anything that ran at him well. The depth we have this year is quite impressive. 

Personally I'd keep as much continuity as possible but the injuries might decide that.


Rourke comes in for Jowitt, possibly Scott for Hall for a bit more strike, and Russell for Walmsley who I thought struggled with the intensity of Sunday and was pushed back in most of his hit ups.  Rodwell might have to come in for Vagana and Griffin for Storton.


Sezer played well against Wigan so we need to keep him quiet and the big prop.


Agreed Cozza put a shift in yesterday.  Nice to see.

If Pitts is fit he solves a lot of problems in the pack. Griffin would be handy too.
I don't think I've seen anything to say Scott is ready.
Same with Rodwell.

I certainly wouldn't drop Lino for Russell.

Walmsley was pushed out of position so it's difficult to judge. Handy that he was there otherwise we'd have been moving Trueman.


Hull have two big fast wingers. We might need Lachy to catch them.
They've improved since Knight has come and given them some size in the middle. We have to dominate there to win.

Herman Ese'ese seems to be playing well so need to match him in the forwards, big mike will be up to the task. 

the young players in Martin and Moy look like they are thriving also. 


Talk of players coming back for us is a big boost, especially in the forwards. Would like Pitts and Rodwell to come back in. Wouldn't bring Scott back yet, both centres playing well. 


M.Russel you would think would also come back in for Walmsley as per the last few games 

So you make 7 changes because we got 2 players injured .including Lino who as been one of our most consistent player's this season .Griffin is not going to be any way near the team unless there are a lot of forwards missing .You have said the depth in the forwards is impressive .Ok bring Russell in on the wing but thought Warmsly  went ok  considering he had to go to full back .Hope we can stick near enough to the same 17 apart from the two that was injured .Remember we were 2 players down in the 17 players who got picked .and we still looked the better team in the second half
