to be honest how many Wakefield fans think they would be in super league if crusaders did not pull out . No point hiding behind the truth any body else who thinks any think else are kidding them self . after all this is the corrupt rugby league were talking about who just safe guided Bradfords future . For league prediction i think wakey will not finish with the wooden spoon about 12th sounds about right above salford and widnes .

Same every season.



Easy pre match team talk for RA and Bluey, just hand the players a copy! Light the blue touch paper and watch them go.

This.

As I said last season, it's very easy just to ignore this stuff and claim that we like proving wrong those people who write us off etc, but I believe this kind of lazy, thoughtless journalism genuinely damages our credibility; it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that WTW are in the doldrums and as a result, the brand is damaged. When the brand is damaged, so is our player pulling power, our ability to attract new fans and most importantly, our commercial revenue streams.

I'm prepared to bet significant money that after all of the idle pundits have predicted us to finish bottom, the Sky commentary team will begin the season referring to us as "wooden spoon contenders," "favourites for the bottom berth" "propping up the table" and any number of supercilious cliches that denigrate our club and write off all of AG's hard work.

It makes my blood boil!

[url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyleague/9043411/Stobart-Super-League-2012-club-by-club-guide.htmlThe Telegraph[/url has us sneaking in at 11th; that's a bit better!

Looking at all the predictions they look about right to me. My forecast is 10th.

Anything better than 11th will be a bonus and a play off spot will be terrific.

Above Classy Cas, that's what I like to see !
