In Peet we trust

Re: Wakefield (h) : Sat Feb 25, 2023 7:11 pm  

Can’t learn to much from such a one sided game other than Peet isn’t afraid to drop players always a good thing for me,good to see a selection of players on the scoresheet too,but boy Wakefield where dreadful

You can only play what's in front of you. But yes, they were very wooden & were either confused of just a bit cold (that wind don't half whistle through don't it).

What I don't understand, however, is what on earth was the holding up of the 'phone torches for? What bit of tiktokery nonsense was that all about?

Think it was Ukraine related.

First time back in the South Stand for ages. Some 'interesting' developments. 15/16 year old lads staggering up the steps with a pint in each hand. Throwing said beer in the air following a try. Fair enough if it's a last minute winner against Saints, but not at 48-0 on a cold February night ffs

What's happened to the stats on the Superleague website? I see they've tarted it up a bit (and spelt forty-twenty right eventually!), but can't see the stats.

Bit early to be talking about relegation favourite but at present it's got to be a toss-up between Wakey and Cas. Friday night, Wakefield were less effective than a team of wax dummies. Today, Cas gave a detailed lesson in how NOT to play rugby league, though their blowing of chances was exemplary.

Re: Wakefield (h) : Sun Feb 26, 2023 3:01 pm  

Cas will be fine. They went toe to toe for half an hour around the middle but Saints are too good there. They’ll test us on Friday in that area and I wouldn’t be surprised if we buckle.

Re: Wakefield (h) : Sun Feb 26, 2023 3:36 pm  

Cas left so many points out there. At least one of those times Mamo broke down the left, he surely could have scored himself instead of risking an inside pass. i think they'll test us too. It's never an easy place to go to.

And if Jordan Turner could hang onto the ball...

Re: Wakefield (h) : Mon Feb 27, 2023 8:03 am  

I think yesterday was a difficult barometer in which to gauge Cas. I expected a scratchy performance from us and thats what we gave with the number of players missing and the travel etc

I don't think you'll struggle against them although they are a bogey side at the Jungle from memory for you? The tight pitch won't suit the speedsters you have but I think you'll have way too much.

It’s a good test for our squad both of us looked good in attack but poor in defence (we have now improved) I’m still confident of the win but if it’s a strong win I’ll be confident we’re more on track and can almost put the KR game to bed.

The edge with Burimo looked suspect in defence but French and King are the same. Hopefully having Isa on that side will sure us up and we can introduce KPP later in the game. Cas seemed to be gassed the last 20 mins of the game
