Be one of those where we get walloped or we make a real fist of it like at Saints or Cats and we are due one of those ending the right way IMO.

Hope so.
Wire are definitely still adapting to the way their new coach wants them to play..
Having said that, they will click at some point but, lets hope that's later in the season and not on Saturday.
Powel is a decent coach, especially offensively, certainly better than the bloke who replaced him at the jungle.

Agree on the forwards, it`s clear as day they are lacking big time in the front row, it was before the season started but even more so now I have watched them a few times. Also agree with Vasty on the conditions, but I actually think Wire also relish a firmer ground with the balance of there team. All of that said I think wire have a massive performance in them every so often and can beat anyone on there day, hopefully that`s not this weekend!

Does anyone know what time the coaches are to leave Wakefield? Looking to get into the club shop tomorrow for a ticket and travel.

Mulhearn failed his H.I.A so can't play and Clark is nursing a shoulder injury from a crusher tackle, according to League Express and we didn't pick up any suspensions this week, so hopefully we can win this one

Wire look shaky. Reckon the longer you stay with them, the more the pressure will get to them. There are bigger threats out there for sure.

with the double header now - i think the wire will relax in one of these games - i think a league win is more important lets go for it Saturday ,

Interesting, you’ve actually highlighted our greatest weakness and greatest strength.

We have failed in all but one game to stay with the opposition in the first half. Being 2-4 tries behind.

In every second half we’ve come back and in two cases came close to pinching it.

If we can keep Warrington down to say an 8 point lead ahead at half time we might be able to do it if we scored first second half.

Our fitness and resilience in the last 30 minutes has been astonishing, if we can match that in the first 20 we will give them a torrid time and as you say they might crack. Catalan and Hull nearly did so third time lucky.

Having said all that I’m being realistic as it’s a best case scenario and would require Warrington to not play to their full at home potential and we don’t seem to get those breaks at the moment.

I watched this as a neutral and finished up as a Wakey fan for the day. What a performance and fully deserved the win.
