2nd in the League with Wigan, The Giants, Catalan, Hull & Leeds all to play at the HJ

I don't worry we used to lose at Wakey and other places where people thought we should win....Now we win there...

Just seen on the club website that the first sixteen fans to text in get to play Widnes next week, alongside Benny Westwood.

Thats rubbish, I know for a fact that Benny is rested next week.

First 15, you forgot the Queen is playing

Without the license system every club in the bottom half of the table would be packed with geriatric ex-NRL players on unaffordable wages in desperate struggles to stay in SL.

Is that the new nickname for Lee 'Wire bum banger' Briers?

I'm really pleased that there is someone else out there that has the same opinion as I - great post mate

Salary Cap...........????

and is she allowed to wear her crown ??? I'm not sure its RFL sanctioned headgear...

Back to normal I see, Colin. One positive post in 315, then it's back to normal. It's only 3 years ago that we were getting hammered on a regular basis at Wakefield. I wonder what little gems you would have posted if we had lost today.

The last time we lost at Wakefield was on 27/02/09.
It was also the last game for James Lowes.(Thankfully)

There is one signing that I really really really want and that is for TS to sign a contract extension.

Another advantage of being able to rotate & shuffle the squad is that opposing coaches can't possibly coach against all the team permutations that can be thrown at them...it disrupts their game plans . I am pleased that the lads were finding their way to the line without Briers's chip kicks to the corner.

It was somewhat amusing that in the pre-match interview with Mathers on the radio, he said something along the lines of, 'We know that if we stop Lee Briers, we've got a good chance of getting a result.'

To be fair they kept him quiet the whole 80 minutes

They did a cracking job stopping Lee -pity about the result tho

Did you hear how Ray French described Mariano when he scored early? People were standing up in front of him and, well, lets just say Ray used an old fashioned method to note which player it was...

I've just seen the tries on Sky (sorry, Matron gave me a letter about missing away games) and watched Ratchford.

Wow. Well played, lad. If you carry on like that (sorry Wakey fans) you'll do for me. Carry on, that man.

totally agree mentioned this weeks ago...beat wigan and leeds will do me(hopefully all 5)..you never know a treble may be on..(kiss of death)

too true.. me and you go round 2mrw and stand over the great man and make him sign....best coach weve ever had and the best coach in super league...

I thought I heard that. Didn't he manage to worm out of it by saying he had black hair or something?

I'm sure if he was asked about it, that would be his explanation.

However he quickly said he was a big lad rather than any comment about his hair...

Back towards the original post, it was a great win.

It's a miracle really as some our own doubters vitually started the "wheels have fallen off" thread on the Pie board. I trust we are all a lot happier now than we were at the beggining of April, wow what a difference a month makes.

You've got to give it to TS and the boys...now thre wire. Happy days

We were made to work hard for the 2 points. Wakey probably shaded the 1st half but after the break we noticably increased the pace of the game and they struggled to live with it. In the last 20 some of the Wakefield forwards were bllowing hard and their earlier tactic of getting three in every tackle to slow it down had gone. Great game from Chris Hill (again), and Ratchford. Atkins looked like he would score from every carry. Matty Blythe was very impressive with a fantastic off load for one of Ratchford's tries. Hodgy was sublime as usual. Good win with 9 missing!!

that offload from blythe was amazing, the easy option was to feed williams on teh outside, i didn't even see ratchford on the inside, and he also had to get the pass past a defender as well.

Atkins got mom in league express today but i thought ratchford was best for us yesterday.
