I would normally tip a Wakey win but I'm just not sure any more. HKR look that bit sharper and coming off a great result at Cas. I have kept up to date with the news at HKR and things seem prity positive, and are definitely improving.
We need a win ASAP and I hope it will come on Sunday but I'm not confident.

There so much better than us results prove it and they play good attacking rugby cant see anything other than a defeat

Based purely on form, we're going to get pumped. The Trinity of old laughed in the face of form, hopefully this one can on Sunday, although I wouldn't be confident with a full team available which we are far from.

We’ve 3 days more prep time than HKR ,surely that will go in our favour .
Know it goes against the grain ,but get the ball flung about and tire them out ,surely they won’t be fully recharged and should start to wilt come the second half . We seem to have got our energy levels right in the games we’ve played ,so we have to use that to our advantage . No good one out rugby, they’ll take that all day. Come out with the right attitude and desire and I think the game is ours to lose .

Can’t wait for the next Q and A.


“Did we really think we would best Hull KR?”

Whilst I agree with your logic, Ketty, it's not as though they are coming off a 3 day turnaround, they have 6 days between games whereas we have 9, so yes it would be nice to see them run out of steam sooner rather than later, I just can't see it happening

Even more important then to get a vocal support backing our boys.

No moaning, just encouragement would go a long way to giving them a massive boost IMO.

My thought exactly. It’s almost a full week for them. These are athletes and won’t be short of energy.

Son in law who is a Cas fan said KR were well worth their win. Said Abdull played really well and that Cas couldn’t cope with the off the cuff plays they did. Fingers crossed we can but not hopeful.

I think if we concede early on the crowd will turn on the team, to be honest.

Which will make it worse

The best times for Wakefield as a supporter have been those away games when we are struggling and the crowd crammed into one space behind the post start a Wakefield chant and it lifts the players.
That needs to happen over the next 3 games. We desperately need every boost we can get.

They were good value for the win mate and deserved it. Smith has got them playing a very attractive brand of rugby and Abdull looked class.

Must agree PT the supporters must get behind the team throughout the game and no chants aimed at Chester.
Give the lads a welcome home.

Indeed, you're not wrong, I just don't feel like it will be the same this time. People are pee'd off with this team and coaching staff, it reminds me of 2006 and Tony Smith's reign..

I think the crowd will get behind the lads, but if they start getting tonked,counterproductive or not, they will almost certainly show their pent up frustration.

Can’t see a win, infact I think we will get pumped by a well drilled in form team. That said I’ll be there with my dad and my son cheering them on hoping for the best!

Just for clarity do we consider Sunday a must win game or one we can lose providing we stay in the game. If we lose then does Huddersfield become the must win or do we have to wait until Leigh. I just wanted to check what PT etc. deems to be acceptable so we don’t all expect more than the true supporters.
I noticed that the Tottenham crowd booed their team tonight, how can they call themselves true supporters.

You pay to get in you are free to boo.

I just won't be booing with you.

Almost a must win - not quiet if Leigh lose.
get behind them guys in the stands it might get them over the line

I don’t boo, I am just seeking clarification at which point you believe we should panic, or do you consider that our job is to support and never question because it is above our intellect to know what poor play is when we see it.

A 'must win' for whom?

For Chester? I'd say pretty much. He needed to win at least 2 from 4, but then lost to Leeds so it's 2 from 3. Lose on Sunday and he's down to 2 from 2 against Huddersfield and Leigh - a tough ask.

For the club? Not yet, we're not even half way through the season yet. If the main/only target is to avoid relegation, we have time to turn it around, perhaps with a new coach next month.

Your words Scar not mine.

Like I said, I'll be supporting my team.

Do we know who is officially injured as seems to have gone a bit quiet on this front. Or are they waiting until all the tickets are gone to then update us.

It really is a must win game - can't see it though. Hull KR throw the ball around very well.

Abdull always seems to play well against us.

Happy to be proven wrong.
