I'm sure that Shudds fans will call us poor losers but, the stuff going on over there, in the last 10/15 mins was shocking. It took time wasting and gamesmanship to a whole new level and IMO, the person/people controlling the ball boys was culpable as well.
Before it got close, there seemed to be a ball boy with spare ball every 20 metres along the side of the pitch but, all of the balls disappeared from sight, when we were pushing to get back on terms.
Balls kicked off the pitch, they took the mickey big time, although it also helped get them 2 points.

With 10/15 mins to go on Friday, I hope that we are looking to put icing and a cherry on the proverbial cake but, if it's tight, I hope that we use every trick in the book and them some.

Totalky agree with all of this. The fans there were incensed at the time.

I think the extra day Wigan have to recover before Monday could give them a slight advantage but I feel confident going into any game at the minute.
Looking forward to Friday, good weather forcast, a few beers and Trinity playing well.

All those years we couldn't beat Huddersfield so I hope we hammer them on Friday! Way they played v Catalans it shouldn't be a problem but you never know!

Their last 3 results have been pretty good.
Beating Catalan, running Cas very close and beating Leeds (one of the shocks of the season).
This will be our toughest game of the 4 "easier" SL games.

Any kind of win would do nicely and if Saints can beat up Wigan, that would be a bonus

Hard one to call. You guys have been consistantly decent all season with a fair few great performances thrown in too. We haven't had a great performance all season in my opinion. In fact I think our best performances have been in some of our losses, which shows we haven't been quite there.
If we sort out a few things we could win you.
We are due a run away score at some point this season so I'm hoping it's tomorrow.
I don't think Monday will be in the minds too much from your players and coaching staff so I'm expecting your typical good showing.

I'll go with a 2-6 point win either way.

Monday wont be in your minds at all

I agree that it will be a close game and we should expect loadt of you fans to make the trip as you dont seem to have another game this weekend

Re: Huddersfield on Friday : Thu May 25, 2017 6:00 pm  

I dunno, everything about this game screams Wakey by 3 scores
We've had a few squeaky wins and losses this season but they were against teams playing ok
Shudds are looking like their league position, pretty low
They're coming off a dire few point win over Cats, who haven't hit a barn door all season.
Never ever ever rule anyone out, its fatal, but Shudds are gonna have to pull a major finger out or Wakey will have to have a stinker, neither of which seem likely.
I suppose the unknown is the pivots at Shudds, didn't work out too well for Widnes though.

Wakefield v Huddersfield (+6) – Friday, 2000 BST

I thought Huddersfield showed some improvement last week with the Martyn Ridyard and Lee Gaskill combination having enterprise in it.

The Giants have already beaten Wakefield 24-16 this year and I just think they are starting to get a bit more consistent.

Wakefield lack a little bit of speed and the outside-backs can take advantage.

I think Huddersfield can win this game and so with the start they look very attractive.

Don't you just love Ian Millward? Wakefield lack speed??? BJB, Lyne, MCB

I know he is a bit of an 4rse but really?? He has surely lost the plot this time.

I reckon that man for man - every one of our players is slightly better than their Huddersfield counterpart, we're also playing more cohesive rugby where every player knows their role. I don't think it will be an easy win, but with the size and stamina of our pack and the speed in our backs I'm hopeful we can get the win. We've scored at least 6 tries in each of our last 4 games where as Huddersfield have struggled to get over the line as much. In the last 4 games we've scored 27 tries and only let in 10

I would say speed is our best assett this year. Is it him or is it a parody? Really
