You've a very good chance to win. I'd view Fax as a potential banana skin even if we had a decent team.

What you are actually going to face is not a team but a group of chancers - some are talented - some not, but together for whatever reason they don't constitute anything like a team.

Always liked Fax, so losing to you won't be as painful as it could have been.

We really are dreadful, worst I've ever seen certainly the most gutless.

The injury stuff is a bit of a red herring - yes we have problems but not 80 - 0 worth.

A result like that often mean's rock bottom and then things improve.We lost something
like 82-6 at HKR In cup and the following week by chance was the same league fixture
which we lost 34-24 or similar.Hope your fortunes don't turn round to that extent though.

On paper the Wakey team doesn't look that bad but if the y are working against each other then that counts for nothing. Working on Friday so another game missed but feel that we could cause an upset though as Mr Hall states there is usually a result that means you've hit rock bottom, hopefully it won't be 80 nil but being dumped out of the cup by a lower league team.

I'm also working Friday so won't be attending. I'll be happy if we give Wakefield a game but don't view the cup as a priority. If we can come through unscathed for our massive game against the doncaster eagles I will consider it a success.

Agreed on that but a win would really boost confidence within the team, though wouldn't want that at a cost of lost players.

Yes indeedy, it's a shame we started off with a small squad and lost Place and Menell early on.
With our injuries we can't afford anymore but, I would like to progress in the cup, Catalans away in the quarters and then not bothered who in the semis, although it would be nice to beat Leigh in the Final.
Come on we're in it to win it.

Got to use my holidays up from work so, Friday is a day off and my first away game for years! Always enjoyed my trips to Trinity and have some good friends at Wakey; be great to have a catch up.

Don't forget they have a new ground, their website still sends us to the old ground.

Re: wakefield : Mon Apr 13, 2015 7:30 pm  

Looking forward to a trip to Wakefield on Friday evening.

Can someone please give some directions to their new ground? Oops!

Have you got a sat nav?
Just put in never never land, that should find it.

A win at Wakey would be just what the club needs right now a 'marque win' which would give us good publicity and hopefully bring back some of these missing fans, we have not had any significant win to crow about since the NRC Final win so we really could do with one.
I know the Sheffield game is in a way more important but I would take a win at Wakey for the PR it would give us, we have not betaen a SL team since we got relegated.
The biggest danger is for us all to just expect to win, they are still full time and SL after all so its not a definite but it is a good chance for us, if we lose its not the end of the world as long as we give them a good game which I am sure we will.
