21 man squad...Olpherts in for Bain but Hood is in there too, so hopefully he's fit ?? https://wakefieldtrinity.com/powell-nam ... -bradford/

Feels like there are three questions team-wise tonight:
Who plays right centre - Croft, Griffin, or Franco? (If Griffin it would mean playing Vagana at second row and putting a back on the bench, which would seem mad to me. I'd prefer Croft.)
Is Hood fit?
And if so, who gets the bench spot, Doyle or Smith? Very different players, both done well so far. Would prefer to see Smith purely for entertainment's sake.

What are we expecting from Bradford?
I'm not up on their team.
Where is the danger?

Re: Bulls game : Fri Mar 15, 2024 10:10 am  

The biggest danger is between the Wakefield players ears.

Re: Bulls game : Fri Mar 15, 2024 10:34 am  

Would expect them to line up something like:

McGowan
Taufua
Arundel
Gill
Myers
Gaskell
Lilley
Smith
Souter
Lawrence
Appo
Butler
Davies

Flanagan
Okoro
Hallas
Green

Kevin Appo is a weapon with the ball. I've only seen bits of Mitch Souter at hooker but he seems to have it all - bit of a poor man's Harry Grant. Forwards are solid but nothing to worry about. Their weak spot is their backline.

The side picks itself for me.

Jowitt
Opherts
Croft
Pratt
Walmsley
Gale
Lino
Bowden
Hood
Atoni
Griffin
Ashurst
Pitts

Doyle
Vagana
Uele
Cozza

I would guess that not all of the named squad are fit to play and are just declared to try to confuse the opposition and some of our supporters team selections.
