But they will have Paul Cooke, who on his day, can be as lethal as Brough.

After Eastmond's tactics against us last week, I imagine Kear will have Obst running straight at us from dummy half and Cooke can pass and kick us to death if we let him.

Have faith. Smith, if nothing else, learns from mistakes. That will not happen again this week!

i remember obst doing it last year against us at the hj , no danny brough but obst ripped us apart

Obst & Leo-Latu killed us last year.

indeed Wakey played themselves back in to the contest V Hull KR a few weeks ago when Brough was in the bin and Obst took control

Iam hoping with Brough going, this will give the wildcats all they need to prove, that there is life after Danny Brough, and show the rugby league world, we can play with out him...?
Broughy will be missed but not the end of the world, should be a cracking game..

The Cooke of 5 seasons ago would be seen as a real threat to any team but I'm afraid due to his off-field antics and other troubles he's a pale shadow of the player he was.

The difference in Briers since Che came on board should tell us all that nobody is a lost cause irrespective of age, past glories etc.

If anyone can tap into his head, it's Johnny Kear.

5 seasons ago playing under a coach that understands to let him play whats there in front of him and not a coach that fills his head full of set moves and tell him how to play,

who's his coach on friday night



and Obst is twice the player when Broughy is not there

Great signing for fartown imo. Brough on his day can win a game alone. And i would of quite happily had him as a replacement for Lee, however his disclipine sometimes goes before him.

Good move for Wakefield. Good move for Huddersfield.

Vividly remember that, especially around the ruck, fully deserved to beat us last year. I like the look of that Dale Ferguson, he's impressed me every time we have played them.

Agree with that looks class. John Kear thinks alot of the lad aswell.
