Sounds like Poching is going with the same pack as against Huddersfield. So i'd expect Gaskell for Miller & Hood for Bowes and the rest as you were.

If he's not fit and not playing, then it's a waste that he isn't playing for the reserves.

Very rarely do i post on here these days but as a player i was sometimes very frustrated with my fellow players not being on the same wavelength as me,I see gaskill as just that i didn't particular want us to sign him in the first place but unless i'm flipping blind now but the games i've seen him play so far for us he's the one in my opinion that's has tried to do something different but failed because we are not on his level of thinking, Same apply's with tanginoa not been played enough in his true position and when we can all be on the same wavelength we'll be a good team.

I’d be looking to start very strong and dominate right from the whistle
Challenge the forwards to dominate their opposite number, make it a personal battle between themselves
Arm around KT and tell him he’s got what he wanted in a protracted run in the second row so now is the time for him to reset and be the player who made the Dream team

Play with a well earned right to go wide, stretching TOs defence from touch line to touch line

I’ve picked a bench who are capable of playing faster when they come on, upping the pace of the game against a TO who are tiring from dealing with a motivated Fifita, Whitbread, Tanginoa, Pitt’s, Arona & Wood

Bookies have this match off scratch on the handicap. I personally would have Toulouse as strong favourites due to home advantage, the fact that our defence has been poor on average shipping in 25 plus points a match, how very poor we have been over last few matches and how dire our ball control and match management has been, our inability to break down a defence and our soft pack and lack of discipline. Coaching staff will need to have had a blinder over the last two weeks in order to change our fortunes.

Line speed in defence needs work. Hopefully now the Easter schedule should be out of our system meaning those tired bodies are fully refreshed. Don't wait for the player, giving 10 easy metres/yards away. Make them work for every cm/inch.

Can't remember. Is this on TV anywhere?

Yup Gaskell definitely brings different options but sadly the team don’t seem willing to read the script, so no point playing him sadly.

They have had over two weeks to get ready for this game so no excuses anymore. We need to win, no more positives from defeat, I am afraid it’s victory or nothing.

Corey Norman not in their 21. Alvaro is but Houles said he would be unlikely to feature

No I don’t think so.

According to his profile on Wiki last week, he was on loan at Leigh, so has he been playing for them ??

Will there be any radio coverage?

Not in their last 5 games. Just checked.

That was last season. Played about half a dozen games i think.

Why change a way 16 player's play for one person .Unless you are T Smith .or D Brough . especially if Miller was not band he would be no were near the team

We need to be focused mentally on this game and rip into them from the off ,don’t give them a sniff of the action ,and we treat them with disrespect at our peril . We have a dubious record of getting out enthused by the under dogs , whilst giving the big guns a run for their money ,this simply can’t keep happening ,we need to turn a corner now and show them no respect .We have far too much power and skill in our team ,it’s the mentality side of our game that needs to toughen up .

Fair point if he was a prop, but he’s a playmaker and that’s the point. Why if it’s ok for those you mention then why not Gaskell. Don’t get your logic to be honest.

Toulouse 12- 26 Trin, Gaskell scores 2 and sets up another.....

4 year ago would have agreed but not now .Question was D Brough as good the second time he came to Wakefield ,and it is the same answer for Gaskell way past is best .This as been the trouble at Wakefield for the last few year ,on paper they look good signing but you do not win matches on paper .It is now they play on the field

This is how I see it.
We need the players to step up for this game and play to their potential. No more excuses or heartless performance.
This is not a 'must win game' BUT by the heck it will make life a lot easier if we do win.

That’s the thing that makes it all the more frustrating watching them at times , they go into their shells and don’t play to their potential , once that monkey is off our backs we have some good rugby players in our ranks who are not only good enough to win tomorrow but push us up the table . On paper we are the better team ,but we need to stamp our authority on the game and boss it from the off . If Toulouse get a sniff we’ll be in for a torrid afternoon.

Might sound crazy but I’d give Kay ago one the halves it’s where he started his career. Leave the kicking and organising to Lino and give Kay a free reign to play what’s in front of him

I don’t think it will happen and know it’s a risk in a must win game but sometimes you have to chance your arm
