I think so Zinger. I'm expecting no more than 300 Wakefield fans.....mainly due to them being terrible supporters."

Lovely stuff.

Having sold around 800 tickets already and with plenty of "walk ups", I think this is a slight under statement.

Not really a fan of the well as the standing bit is just too low down, so the dug outs block the view.

Good style in principal though, with the terracing, then hospitality behind, with them the Roger Millward stand above that.

Enjoy the game everyone

I’ll stick my neck out and say I’m feeling pretty confident looking at the squads that we will have a healthy win.

It is the first game of the season though and anything can happen but whatever the result it likely won’t define either teams season.

I'm actually going to put a bet on us winning by 20 points, I really think we'll blow them out of the water providing our defence holds up.

Anyone going for a pint before the game?

Solid looking 19 just been released. If they play to their potential and link up well together then there should be no reason they can't turn over KR, possibly by a decent margin. That being said, it's the first game and it's away from home, it's hardly a "must win" game

They're all must win games, we won't win em all for sure but if we go into each game with your mentality we'll finish up with the also rans.

Who misses out from the listed 19? Hampshire and Annakin?

No they are not all must win games at all. You must always treat every game as winnable but they are not the same thing imo.

Which is what I said, the only difference is in the interpretation.

Apart from the fact that its likely to be just above freezing (but feel like -10), this should be a cracking game.
KR , having just been promoted and with masses of local support will be bouncing.
If we can weather their early enthusiasm and avoid injuries, we should be coming back to Wakey with our first 2 points.
We need the ref not to be swayed by the baying home crowd but, our pack looks way too good for theirs.
Tight discipline and patience and the game is there to be won.

Wakefield by 10. Come on Trin !
