It's been the usual Jekyll and Hyde Wakefield so far. I'd rather we'd been hit for 40 in our valiant defeats to Saints and Warrington, but picked up the points against London and Hull KR.

I tend to feel the same way - until they start awarding points per half, or for being a 'plucky loser' - close losses are still losses, and we have too many of them.

Salford look really fluent and dangerous - it will be a tough one to win.

London are no mugs, great coach, players with a point to prove and a young full back who is a star. I can honestly see that 10 wins will be required to avoid relegation which is great for the game but nerve racking for supporters. Much better then when 10 wins guaranteed a place in top 8 play offs

Tight game, Trinity by 12. 34-22.

Salford at home when we’d just signed Tim Smith back was one of the best games I’ve witnessed in recent times. (Even though it was a few years ago). We’d been missing a real leader and he ripped them apart that day...

I'll take that.
Salford look really potent with ball in hand, particularly down their left flank and seem to be getting good numbers through the line.
This is by no means a gimmie and apart from Leeds and Wigan being mickey poor, Salford, along with London have been the surprise team of the season. Many, including me, had them down as strugglers this season but, they look pretty good.

For me it's when we really click, when that moment comes someone will get a kicking, will it be on Sunday, who knows?

Equally if we do win and results go our way (Warrington beat Hull, Wigan beat Catalans - neither of which would be a huge surprise) then we could be 4th.

Positivity can go a long way, if you let it!

Told you so!

Wasn't able to attend - but listened in on Manc radio and despite the comically non-partisan attitude of the commentator, it sounded like a really solid performance, with Big Dave running the show?

Great set of results for us this weekend - and now looking forward to backing up against Shudds, which is a must; gotta pick the points up from the smaller clubs...

Did I watch that on Trinity TV last week, throwback Thursday or something..

Anyway, I thought while watching it I'd forgotten how standout crazy good Tim Smith was.
As good as they are, we don't have anyone like that in the squad, Miller is closest but we play a different game these day's, less reliant on magicians.
Is it any coincidence that I see loads of Tim Smith in Blake Austin.
