We'll regardless i suppose, it is no coincidence if true, that there has been a big shift positive.

Up until recently whenever I've watched leeds , he's looked immensely overweight and unfit. But I was very impressed with him last night.

Have always liked him ...

He's our new "Bionic Barrel"

He seems to do the hard work and seems tog et a few quick PTBs here and there.

I do hope the "fans" who chucked a brick in the stand are caught. A young woman came off second best to it

Saw a photo on Facethingy - looked nasty.

I know we won on Friday, and quite convincingly (although I think Child has his usual inept performance but seemed to favour us considerably) but I was driving on Friday so didn't have a drink all night and I still couldn't work out the interchanges/positional swaps.

I was like BMcD has a pack of 'Leeds Rhinos Top Trumps' and every now and again turns to Jason Davidson and says "Now for full-back, pick a card... any card".

Wasn't that always going to be the case with Hall on the bench unless he was a straight swap for another winger?

What are people's views on Luke Briscoe BTW? If we had a reserve team it would be an absolute no brainer to keep him in the squad. Even with the current setup I'd argue someone who can fill in and do a job in a number of positions is worth keeping more than say an extra below average forward.

Fullback made sense to me tbh, Sutcliffe is playing better than Zak in that position
It would also be quite harsh to drop Burrow given his form so he started at 7 and moved to 9

The alternative is burrow to the bench and Sutcliffe to 6
That might be the best way to go whilst we still have zak
Sutcliffe has already showed enough that for me (if zak goes) he should get the 1 shirt, in the knowledge that we also have Watkins and Golding as backup, we can then spend our money on a 9 or a 7

What didn't make sense was Keinhorst on the bench with Achurch starting!
Absolute disgrace to the idea of playing for your position!

I have a feeling you have not seen many matches, judging by that post.

No issues with the lineup on Friday. Sutcliffe should be named at 1 if Hardaker is going who can still do a job for us in the three quarters if needed. Hardaker starting ahead of Hall will have been because of match fitness and don't forget Moon had to depart with concussion. Could've made a straight swap with Keinhorst I suppose but in those conditions why not bring on a guy in Hall who can run it in like a forward (Keinhorst for his positives doesn't make big metres).

Later on obviously Falloon doesn't have 80 mins in him so a shuffle with Burrow to 9, Sutcliffe to HB, Hardaker to FB and Keinhorst on to centre. Yes it's moving players around but to positions they are very familiar with.

I thought having a winger on the bench was a little decadent and didn't Zak drop to FB in the latter of the game anyway?

It was before the latter stages of the game, and first went to centre before that.

just watched the handsome JJB absolutely disgrace himself soccer style....takes a swing at DF then throws himself on the floor pretending to be injured.....embarassing ...shameful.....dont need soccer style cheating in RL....still your desperate i get that but its disappointing to see such a pathetic show from a supposedly tough RL player. #cheat #noshamecheat #toughmy #bullygotbossed

whut?

I met 2 Wakefield fans in a bar is Brisbane a couple of days before the World Cup final in 2008 and they wholeheartedly believed that the entire failings of England in the tournament were solely down to Kieth Senior and the Leeds based RFL.

These guys had the biggest shoulder chips ever. I thought that these two particular idiots were just a bit deluded and may have had mental health issues but over the years I have come to realise that a majority of Wakefield fans believe the same. They have this collective inferiority complex which seems to engulf every aspect of their lives to the point that they actually convince themselves that what they are fabricating is really the truth.

It's your classic small man/small town syndrome and they think that all the failings of their pathetic lives can't possibly be their own fault so they must blame someone else. #deluded #moronic #notourfault #blamesomeoneelse

BBCiplayer - super league show please watch the incident - take off the blinkers off and accept it - it is really embarrassing when the hero jjb slaps DF round the chops and then dives on the floor and does the soccer style pretend injury stuff. I can understand you not wanting to accept it...no real RL fan wants to see that sort of stuff, by all means continue to be in denial.

Sorry to be the bearer of further bad news but Luke Dorn of Cas (kind of think he might know a bit about the game) his comments seem to identify the fact that JJB went high (which he did....please watch) and then he laughs at the decision to send DF to the sin bin. It is what it is.....#embarrassing #shameful

I suppose you'd have just carried on if Garbuttt who came running into the tackle headbutted you in face. Maybe the cut/stitches on his cheek after the game were faked



Speaking of football-esque surely that came from the Wakey player who threw the ball at an injured opponent. #petulantresponse

What does a borderline high tackle have to do with him going down injured?
What I watched was a a player throw a ball at a player down injured (who has had an awful lot of injury problems) #scum

Your just butthurt because your new signing was rubbish #flop #wasteofmoney #shouldhavespeantitonthestadium

I guess you see what you want to see.
Did you see your man Garbutt stand there absolutely bottling it after the (almost lethal lol throwing of the ball) also love how Falloon had a look round to see if any of his mates were around before making a lame attempt to push DF. I thought that showed alot about your "team".....you miss Peacock for sure....he had big balls ,,,,your enforcer has gone and your left with not very much at all in the minerals department.

Fafita on the other hand has the heart of a lion, he showed true bravery when he threw a ball at an injured player

Yes and it's that that's helping making you look like a very bitter loser.

Enough minerals to convincingly beat your lot.

...also constantly running sideways to try and find Burrow and avoid the big lads in the middle.
