Blake Austin is usually their saviour when they are in trouble, with Myler in support.

Our halfbacks, whoever they will be need to match them.

Shaw and Pratt played today in reserves. The trialists didn’t either.

Depends if a Wakefield team takes the field with the heart to win,
They can practice all they want midweek but if heads drop as they usually do after about 3 minutes then we’re in trouble again.
I’ve said if before where the hell is the captain nowadays rousting them on the field !
There should also be a winning bonus attached to their contracts - money talks if all else fails!

Do you think we will work it out to kick the ball to Olpherts? We can hope.
My waters think we will sneak it but my heads not sure. Is heavy rain due?

Think the rain is missing us. Blazing sunshine at Belle Vue.

The problem is our attacks about a million miles away from clunky, and attack s about a good half back, two centres 2 wingers, 1 hooker, 1 prop, short.

Newman, Sezer and possibly Simpson in the backs and Tetavano, Holroyd, Gannon and Lisone in the forwards.
6 of those would be playing Sunday
Only 3 props in the 17 and remember we have Olpherts probably in that 17.
Admittedly you have a bucket load missing too.
Like I said two poor teams and anything can happen on the day especially in the heat especially if one team goes down to 12 men.

Except....how many of your remaining players have international honours. Not quite an equal match up just because you've lost some players.

Ultimately it'll be the team with least amount of errors that wins.

It will be Leeds who win, at a canter, irrespective of the errors they make.

Bongser hopes that you win tomorrow despite the fact that that would delay the date when Leigh (points deductions ignored) become mathematically safe from relegation. He also has nothing against Leeds where he worked for several years.

At Magic Weekend, the neutrals got well behind Wakey - thankfully (from here) to no avail. Wakey are expected to win at least one match this season, that is generally expected (save by many on this forum). Every other club is petrified that they will be the one that is in the headlines as the patsies that were the first to lose to Trinity.

This post is not meant to be patronising, rather a rallying cry. Applegarth should send out the team on Sunday (and if not then, in subsequent games) with words such as:

"This lot are piggin' terrified of losing to us; so play on their fears and piggin' well beat them!"

This good advice is given in the agreement that Win No1 will not be in Round 26.

Up The Trin!

More missing than people think too

I heard that too. Not sure how that's going to pan out.
Sometimes low on numbers backs against the wall really works for us.
