You mean like when Tom Johnstone tore his ACL and has been replaced by Mason Caton-Brown: a player who is running in hat-tricks for fun? The Wakey injures won't make a difference, they have got quality players who are chomping at the bit to get into the starting 17 and have probably got a team spirit equal to, or perhaps even greater than, Castleford

I really hope the Leeds players and coaching staff are judging us on our performance at Headingley! They're in for one hell of a shock if they are!

I know some don't rate McDermott but he ain't daft...he said straight after that he knew we were way off it, and he'll know very well just how good we've been lately.

It's no good judging us on what we've been for he last decade either because we're light years ahead of that! Just like it's no good judging Leeds as they were 5 years ago because they're light years behind it..

We are where we are on merit...joint points with you just a few points goal difference behind...there is no immediate sign of anything changing either regarding injuries...this time last year we were ravaged and didn't have the depth...we were filing holes with players like Andy Yates and Jason Walton, no disrespect meant but our depth this year is on a different level...as going to Salford and turning over a very strong side over with 7-8 genuine 1st 17 players missing...this week 5 of those are chomping at the bit to get back in!

You may well come and turn us over, but have a little more respect at the superb job we've done in regards squad depth..

And your point is?

The thing is, you are where you are on merit, which is joint on points with us. The problem is we haven't been very good...

I hope it's warmer on Saturday. I've just been for my ticket, and had to wait 25 minutes for a bus. By the time it arrived I was frozen solid.

Such a shame that we'll end up nicking Tom Johnstone and Jacob Miller over the course of the next year or so.

You know what. I hope we smash Leeds just for these smug comments from a few of you fans. Cas used to be the team I'd like to see take a pounding but lately it's Leeds. While I'm sure the majority are normal fans there always seems to be smug entitled posts from a few suggesting a lowly team like Wakefield shouldn't be allowed to set foot near the quality of Leeds or improve and actually look like they may challenge this year.

I hope we put 50 past you.

Miller just signed a new deal, Tom Johnstone is signed up till end of 2020. I'm sure if you get your chequebook out then we might listen, but I doubt you'd pay what we'd be looking for.

Aww bless

Such a shame that the best you can hope for your own club is a couple of injured players from little old Wakey... I'd have thought you'd have bigger aspirations for your club

I don't know, gareth ellis wasn't a bad signing from a little club

This is how it feels to be Wakey
This is how it feels to be small
We've got Tom Johnstone
You've got Tom Briscoe!!

indeed. outstanding player he is too.
but which ones got league and cup winners medals?

Nice. Tom Johnstone can sing it to Briscoe whilst he's sat in the stands on Saturday.

He should have plenty of opportunity if he stands behind the sticks

I can't think of a Leeds player who'd get a game at Wakefield this year but you carry on with your fantasy.

Leeds have only one advantage over us - big Match experience there is no argument from me on that one.

Also for reasons unknown Leeds love BV and ALWAYS play well. Think we've won 3 in 20 years which is really bad. Headingley on the other hand is much easier - if we are delving into the past what was the score in 2016 at your place.

I suspect a Leeds win but wouldn't be surprised with a Wakey win.

Classy

My god your dull and a liar - your parents must be proud.

Rubbish - if we lose it's because we wernt good enough. We have a few out but none that can't be adequately replaced. Only Miller is a genuine miss however Sam Williams is hardly rubbish.

We may well lose but injury will play no part - the 17 we put out should be good enough to compete til the 80th minute.

that made me chuckle fair play

I'd only take 3 possibly 4, but not many more?

Parcell, Cuthbertson, Moon...maybe Garbutt...I don't see them week in week out though, but would be happy to stick with the players we've got over all the rest...

Leeds fans would probably think similar, in that you would only take a few of ours, as you don't see ours week in week out!

As I mentioned earlier though it's another indication of how the gap has closed because 5 years ago we'd have happily taken the entire Leeds 17 over ours!

so Watkins and hall wouldn't get in?? crackers.
you're having a great season, so far, but don't get carried awsy

No I wouldn't take either thanks...both living off past glory for me..our two current wingers have scored 14 and 10 tries...Caton-Brown is raw..young, hungry and with pace to burn...if he's in the clear you know it's a try...BJB is currently playing as well as he has in his whole career...some of his finishes have been spectacular...both our wingers have scored more tries and make more average metres per carry...I'm happy with them to be honest...

Watkins is good on his day yes...doesn't do it consistently enough for me...Reece Lyne has got to be one of the most under rated and under the radar players in super league at present...stats, and his consistent performance back it up...he absolutely owned Junior Sau on Sunday...it was such a mismatch it was bordering on embarrassing for Sau...i'm happy with Lyne ta...

Lyne over Watkins? tell you what. you can keep him
