A look at the table suggests that Wakefield have had several bad games... But every credit for today's effort...

....and you're talking as though that's all it is, one bad result. Wakefield are 11th in the table with a points difference of -95, we are top with a points difference of 421. Here are the results when we've played you since 2010 (all won by us)
44-24
36-6
52-10
26-0
48-6
54-14
48-6
That's an average score of 44-9. Look at those results and tell us again it was arrogant to expect us to steamroll you and for you not score more than a couple. All credit to the lads for almost pulling off a shock but that's definitely what it would have been, because Wakefield to us has been an easy 2 points for quite some time apart from today.

| Think you are in for an easy game or dis-respect your opponents in any way and you are asking for trouble and I've seen it happen so many times and not just in rugby league. Delighted we fought back to get the win today and fair play to Wakefield for getting stuck in and playing as well as they did.

| We are missing Green for sure. I'd give Williams a run next week. Powell seems to be struggling a bit and a rest might just be what he needs. I wouldnt have minded too much if we lost today because i dont see us going the rest of the season unbeaten and i dont fancy losing to Wire in 3 weeks time.

Makes you wonder why they can't find a Plan B against a rush defence out wide, but could find one today in different circumstances?

I'm going to show some disrespectful arrogance here and inform you that tomorrow evening I shall return home from work, crack open a few tinnies and sit down to watch the Giants 'hopefully' thump your team into submission, a result which would see your team drop out of the playoff positions into ninth.
If by some miracle your team do manage to overcome the Giants, please feel free to come back as the result will have done us a favour in the league table.
WIN-WIN.
Cheerio!

At least if you're going to try and be a smart, then get your facts right with regards to our league position before and after the Huddersfield game.
Regardless, this has nothing to do with the original post that I responded to.

The Super League round hasn't yet been completed until tomorrow evening, a loss tomorrow would mean you will have dropped out of the playoff positions do you disagree?
Let's hope for your sake that Ganson is video ref again and can keep you in 8th just like last week!

Oh sorry. I should have said what makes you think you are immune then. Do I have to put a smiley at the end of a comment like that for you to get the meaning? In any case I still don't believe you

Seeing as we are in 9th position prior to the Huddersfield game, a defeat to them will not see us drop out of the playoff places, as you claimed it would, as we have already dropped out. I understand that even simple logic may be difficult for the likes of you to understand, but please try.

Ah...but as the game kicks off at 0-0 you will have 'automatically' found your way back into the Top 8 due to superior points difference over Hull KR. The BBC demonstrate this perfectly with their 'As it stands' league tables for the football whilst the matches are in progress.
Therefore (whilst I'm being a little pedantic) a defeat tomorrow at the end of the match WILL see your team drop out of the play-off positions!

No it won't. No points will be awarded to either side until the game ends. Therefore, at no point before or during the game will Saints be in 8th place, hence why a defeat could not, and will not, drop us into 9th.
Ps. Football literally has nothing to do with his whatsoever.

Now based on this, and the fact we have come into the game on the back of some red hot form, Tomkins having scored 20+ tries in the last 11 games, why is it arrogant to expect a comfortable victory, and for Tomkins to get a bucket full of tries? Surely he was just going off the stats for the previous 17 games for the season.
