Hmm not a line up I would ever of thought of but that’s what we have.

If that isn’t a kick up the backside for Philbin, I’m not sure what will be.

He as not been the same since his break through season, either carrying some kind of injury or other teams just know what’s coming from him.

He doesn't run good enough lines to pack any punch and isn't big enough to just run straight lines at a set defence. He's well off the pace. I do think that 2 props are being held on the bench to go toe to toe with fifita though.

Let's see what happens but I don't expect us to be great whether we win or not.

Not feeling good about this. Will wait to see what unfolds, but expectations aren't high with that line up.

Our squad depth really doesn't look good, based on that.

Looking at that pack, the most positive thing I can say is that it's a fast track, good conditions unit - and that's what we have.

Fast play the ball, plenty of offloads and second phase and DISCIPLINE please.

Kev Brown just nailed it for me if Wakefield score first we will be in trouble, I said the same when we played that supposedly weakened Catalan team.

Wow what a run that was.

Great start but that was poor. We are weak down the middle.

Two terrible pieces of defence, two tries. Its Super League in a nutshell and why it lags so far behind the NRL.

Robert Hicks actually doing very well so far. Kendall should be stood down he's appalling.

Goal line D isn't great again

Offload game killing us

Running at Hughes Davis King side like a warm butter knife in Stork SP.

Tell me I’m wrong but even Wakefield look quicker.

Is Widdop actually there?

Going to be one hell of a long season , should be out of sight with the penalty's we have had

Zero go forward - Zero game plan

Half time is coming.

Keep it reserved lads and ladies.

We started with some intent but as soon as any pressure was applied, we buckled.

Halves ineffective and Matuatia totally lacking any penetration..

Brilliant from Walker - take note Widdop and Williams.

Wakefield shooting themselves in the foot. Why hasn't Butler been given a chance sooner? Done nothing wrong so far, much more like it from Philbin as well. We are still struggling with dictating the tempo of the game so the wakey defence isn't stretched enough.

We need to learn how to tackle as well, 2 really poor tries conceded.

Win or lose this is simply not good enough , we have known for the last few seasons we have been short upfront and to let chris hill go without a like for like replacement is comical

Half-time views from my novice perspective-

We should try a bit harder.
Neither teams look particularly good at this.
We look light.
