In true wakey fashion we’ll probably win or be within 6 points

I wouldn't at all be surprised, we pushed them last year when all expected a walloping, fair enough it came the week after.

I really hope you're right but I thought he was lucky to stay on the field (could easily have been a yellow card, or worse) and was gobsmacked when the ref didn't award a penalty to Catalans and don't forget we are Wakefield and not Wigan, so if the Disciplinary Committee run to form then he will cop a ban

Unfortunately and regrettably I was right

Probably right decision if he meant it and at the time I thought he did.

As I said a week ago, you're loving this, it's what you live for.

Yeah, we get it, 3 games in and you're being proven correct, WOW you must have a semi on.

If we did it would be the biggest shock since god knows when.

The problem is for that to happen it will need a spark from somewhere and a joint determination.

I'm a positive fan always have been but I'm struggling to see where it will come from.

Problem is that if you play to a script that seems to last 50 minutes I'm not sure how you can ever win.

We will win this one.

If I keep saying it, I will eventually get one right

I was thinking Wigan 1988 but I'm very old.

I love an optimist - my heart says you're right but I just cannot see it.
We don't know what team will be out , because of injuries and now suspension, in fact we don't even know what the preferred 17 is.
Hope I'm wrong but I think the OP is right.
It's time for a big meeting to thrash out what is wrong. I didn't expect us to be top of the tree and won all so far, but the worrying part is we don't even look like worrying any other SL club- and at the moment I would have little confidence in us beating the likes of Leigh!
