certainly will, both sides coming off impressive results sets it up nicely. We need to give them the respect we gave Saints and Wigan and not play in second gear like against London.

| Listened to some of it on the Radio, for a lot of it, it sounded like Wakey couldnt score to save their lives
Then it sounded like they got a lot of help from the Ref (based on the crowd sounds)
I think it was 0-6 and london had a try chalked off and it went downhill for them after that

| Looking forward to this one - Wakey have got their act together recently off field with the ground improvements - and team looks to be competitive. Always a poor view - but have to reluctantly admit that the RSS does appeal to my old school preferences in terms of game experience.
Complacency is the only thing that we need to guard against as our results so far and performances (except vs London) have been by far the more impressive.
We normally perform well at Trin (well most times anyway) - and regardless they most often provide a good challenge with plenty of enthusiasm given the derby-like atmosphere.
Need to work on getting the C&G supporters toigether on the terrace and really make ourselves heard to cheer on the team
Also lets be sure to show appreciation to our ex players - particularly Andy R and Danny K who were both really good in their time with us - but most of all COYG!!!

I hope the Huddersfield players won't look at the game with a view like that. Had it not been for few forward passes and knock ons with the line begging Wakey could have been 50+. It's what early season is about, teams finding their feet.
As for next week, will be a very good game and a hard fought one I think. You guys have had a good start to the season with 3 from 3 so will naturally be favourites but I'm hoping for a close spectacle we can all enjoy

| Also hoping for a close one but I do think Hudds will have far too much for us this time out.

| Not sure about far too much as our performances are picking up from round 1.
Bit certainly hard fought and hudds will be tough with how they started.

| Have to admit, I fancy Wakey to go well this year but one look at your team sheet has me wincing. We are gonna have to be at our best and really nail the forward battle or could get schooled.

| Snow forecast for next weekend unfortunately, so more likely to be a forward battle than an expansive game which is a shame. Despite wakeys good start they haven't played anyone to really give them a hard game (although Bradford gave them one). IF the lads play like they did against wigan and not London then I can't see past a win- hope the players don't see it that way though!
Think this game would be perfect to give Ta'ai another shot- not sure who I'd drop though. Patrick hasn't been playing his best- but maybe game time is what he needs rather than dropping. Cording deserved his spot after last week without doubt- he's getting better each time he plays and now he's scored the pressure is off him.

Yes lets hope you can bring a similar following on Sunday as you did last year, you will be most welcome, It would be fair to say that those 1500ish was as many as you have brought to Belle Vue collectively since you came into SL.

| After seeing Wakey playing Bradford where there tackling was so bad they made Jarrod Sammut look like Sonny Bill Williams at his peak i was really looking forward to this fixture, BUT they have got their act together and have looked a different team in the last two rounds. Giants to win but in a tough battle

| It will be a hard fought match, we must not take them lightly, and they are on a decent start too 4 points from 6.
The tackling at Bradford was addressed immediately by Agar and they look a lot better for it.
If our forwards can get on top them I think it will allow us to dominate the game, but we need to take the game on and not expect it easy, I get the impression Anderson will not allow or tolerate this form his team.

| We've always actually had decent numbers at Wakey but as most of our fans usually stand down the sides the figure was taken from purely how many we had stood on the terrace behind the sticks, which wasn't very many as our fans were usually down both sides, someone took a picture of the side terrace a few years ago which was literally claret and gold all over to dispell the myth that we only had about 200 there that day - could have been Ponner not sure !
we tried telling the wakey lot for years that our fans were stood down the side but as that wasn't the 'away end' it was always dismissed by them...........as for the game it should be a great battle as i think they have got a very hardworking squad together this year and will upset a few of the big teams.
Looking forward to seeing how we can back Saturday up defensively this week.

| Can you not repost the picture that you took Ponner? just to ram the comment back down their throats.
Got to be honest we normally stand either behind the posts or in the paddock area (when we lost in a monsoon)

| No point, even when it was posted they still didnt accept it ....that wasnt the away end so it could have been anyone just wearing something that matched our colours that day or something equally as daft, if there were 35 people wearing claret & gold behind the sticks then that was our support end of !!!!.

| And how many people just casually put "maroon" and "yellow" clothes on! Even last year they were claiming we took about 300 when the ticket office sold more tickets than that!

| To be fair they had to eat their words last year - even the most anti-fartown ones had to hold their hands up and admit we brought a decent crowd, partially because it was a warm sunny day and a lot of our fans stood behind the sticks to be in the sun so more than usual were visible in that end.

Baloney.
We know that the Hudds fans stand near the side, and the reason we admitted you brought a decent crowd was because you did.... the first in many years and it's good to see.

| We are better to a man from 1 right through the squad than wakefield. The only player I could say I'd possibly take and swap is kirmond on the bench for cording. But we have been there before and look how that turned out.
Should be a comfortable win but as ever, whenever we go there, I am nervous.
