I've been for the football and sat in the Kop.
The atmosphere is unbelievable and that is part of its iconic status. Only Cardiff Arms Park and now Millennium Stadium rivals it for singing fans.
I've been at least twice for rugby and felt cramped.
It's worth going to but if you are built like a rugby player it'll be tough for a full day.

The only thing I'll say is it won't be full so you'll have more space around you to spread.

Really hoping that Catalan are drained from their "final" last week.
Although it was only a "regular" game, they seemed to build it up way, way higher, almost like a cup final.
Coupled with their usual problems when they play over here and our additional impact in the pack (hopefully), we may just have a chance.

Catalan are in decent nick at the moment though and it will be a tough ask but, it should be a cracking opener to the weekend.

Come on Trin !

I think them having David Mead back in the Centres will be a big boost for them, he had a fantastic game the other day saying he's been out for so long. The main gain for Wakefield however is Greg Bird not being available, really cannot stress that enough.

Hopefully the boys have identified where/what went wrong from last weekend and sorted those out with a bit of the Hairdryer treatment too! With the added punch in the pack, I'd fancy Wakefield to give them a real good go, and come away with the points.

Agree, Catalan are a good side with out him and well capable of beating us on current form but with him even more so. I think this will be the hardest game we have had against Catalan in years, I reckon we will struggle.

I think a big part will be which Wakey turns up, if it's the team that played in London then we've zero chance of winning. Hoping for a reaction to last Saturday's game.

Excellent news. For me we've really missed Ashurst especially defensively, plus add Arona and it's chunk of our tackles that have needed to be done by someone else. England will add some fresh legs down the middle which we've also needed recently.
