Challenge Cup QF v Saints : Sun May 12, 2019 10:07 pm  

To be the best you have to beat the rest.

We really can step up to this challenge.

I have a good feeling about this game as we have stood to to toe with Saints in recent years.

I will be taking the coach to the game.

Please MC make this the choice for fans by promoting this big time throughout the city of Wakefield.

Good to see one of your usual positive posts.

There's another way to look at this - if we win, there's every chance that we draw either Bradford or Halifax in the semi, and coast through to the final!

Of all the teams that could have drawn Saints, I would imagine that we are one of the few who will fear it less - we almost had them at our place but for a dodgy call, and they've shown that they can falter over the course of a game if you get up in their grill and put pressure on them.

There's every chance that they'll have a great day and smash us to bits - but it's not inevitable; no pressure + no expectations + nowt to lose = danger.

It is certainly a game a don't want to miss attending, even though it's on telly.

Dodgy call??..what about our 5 tries to your 3 then?.. And our missed goals..don't suppose that matters then!

Yes, but it would be typical of us to beat Saints then go on to get beat by Fax in the semi

I have a really good feeling about this one, Saints away is one I don`t usually do but I will definitely make one in for this one.

I did say, very clearly, that there's every chance you'll smash us to bits; form, league placings and obvious skill and ability would suggest that to be the case.

You'll forgive a WT fan, on a WT forum, some attempt at optimism though, yes?

There certainly was a dodgy call but, not by the officials. The error was of our own making.
Having been given a penalty, which was around half way and straight, Trinity opted to go for the two, instead of kicking to the corner.
Not only did the kick fail but, Saints went up the other end and scored.
It may well have been 5 tries to 3 and Saints may well have missed a couple of conversions but, Trinity could and probably should have closed the game out, instead of giving Saints the opportunity to score.

But, as Esther Rantzen would say, "That's Life".

We can right those wrongs at their place. Come on Trin !

There is only one team that scare me and that's sts
They are playing exceptional rugby this year

But I also believe our boys can beat any one that is put in front of them and I also believe that this is our year!!!
