someone been tampering with your pop

Out next two games are against the teams in 8th & 9th, win them both and we are only a point of off the play off spot so its a possiblility. Realisticly we will probably just miss out as I can't see Leeds playing as poorly as they are for the remainder of the season but its nice to be talking like we have a chance.

A top 8 spot is there for the taking, and certainly something you should be aiming for. Both Bradford and us are playing rubbish at the mo, so there's points on offer over the next couple of games.

Add in some positive news re Newmarket, which will certainly lift the squad, and we could be seeing the rare sight of happy Wakey folk!

Firstly I think the aim is to reach the target that was set out at the start of the season... which was to win 9 of the 27 games played. Achieve this target first and then reassess the situation after that.

I dont think you should change your targets before you have reached your first one. The worst thing to do would be to get carried away thinking we are now world beaters after having beaten two very poor teams and an under strength Hull FC team. Keep the feet on the ground and stay level headed and focused on the achieving the initial target as soon as possible before reassessing.

Its all ifs and buts and when you talk of trying to make the top 8 you can only give it your best shot and there are enough games left for anything to happen.No one thought Leeds would do the grand final last year from the position they finished then look what happened.

One game at a time and see where it takes us.
The next two games will be hard but are winnable, and to take 10 points from five games would be a real achievement.
Let's not get carried away though!!!!

5 "winnable" games (Brad, Cas, Hull KR, Salford, Widnes) would take us to 22 points, more than a competitive score for 2012.

However, I think we need to see this year as work in progress & just ask for commitment & desire- we've seen what we can do with both in our bellies! The "x-factor" that makes you a big team will be added over the coming 3 years in my view.

If we beat Leeds then bradford and then touch Wigan up we could sneak into the eight




I would just not worry about anything other than beating Leeds.

Not bothered about top eight I'll take it or leave it but as long as we're competing in the rest of our games then I'll be happy. Said at start of season to my mates it could be possible to finish bottom and be only 4-6 points off 8th. That won't be the case now but id be happy now with anything from 10th upwards. If we get in the 8 we won't get to the final but we can have a good go and enjoy ourselves trying

ye of little faith

If we win the next two then we would be two points off the eight at worst. But after that we have Catalan away, Wigan home, Shudds away and Leeds home. What should we expect from them four games? Maybe 2 wins if Shudds and Leeds are still playing poor? I know im looking too far ahead but these are exciting times

ditto

This.

your not lying down now are you we still have some more scalps to have
the next two clubs are both beatable and I would go at them one at a time

something special for the whinos

No not lying down I'd love us to win every game and win the grand final but I'm a realist. As long as we give it to em in every game and make teams work for their points then I'll be happy.

I concur; let's not create unrealistic expectations, then thrash Agar and the team when they don't deliver them.

Things have improved, that'll do for me.

I'm a realist too and we did have a chance with the players we have,
its just taken some time for them to realise it

we will look back on this season and see where we could of done better that's a fact
just great to hear Belle Vue rocking again

Definitely great to see bv like that. As for this season it was always going to take time with some ups and downs along the way.

Without a doubt!

I took my son and 3 of his team-mates from Sandal Spartans to the game yesterday - to be able to watch a group of young lads jumping up and down and cheering on (in their words) an 'epic win,' was a real pleasure.

Long may it continue.

We need to go to Headingley in the right frame of mind. If we respect the ball and stick to a gameplan, be patient and a bit more disciplined then I'd have us down as favourites to win.

People may think that's a crazy statement, but when we went there in the cup (a game that really mattered) I thought the game was a lot closer than the final scoreline suggested. I believe we are now playing much better than that and Leeds are playing worse. If we can be within touching distance coming into the last 20 mins or so then I think our confidence and fitness levels should see us home. With the amount of Leeds players involved in the Exiles game, then surely we should be the fresher in the final quarter....providing we play the first hour in the correct way. We MUST go there expecting to play the Champions at their best though and nothing less.....

If we do manage a win and make it 4 on the spin then who knows where we will go.....there's a real tough period coming up just after that though and then a bit of an 'easier' run in.....something to look forward to for sure....

Just want the club as a whole to develop and the team to give 100% in every game. I think we're getting that now, we've come a long way in a short period of time. The NM announcement will really set us away. Exciting times ahead I think!

At the start of the season my forecast was to finish 10th and I'd be very happy if that's where we finish. It will be progress from last seasons 13th finish and that's what we want to see, steady season on season progress. Next season a finish in 8th would confirm that progress and I would be delighted.

Remember Andrew Glover said he aspired to be as good as Warrington when they topped the league and that it would take around 10 years. Some of us older ones wish he could get a spirt on with it

but remember Rome wasn't built in a day

Yeah, I feel that if we perform like we did for the first period of the match, we could get stung by an angry Rhinos outfit, and I don't think they will be open to letting us score 22 unanswered points at Headingley either. But by the same token, Headingley isn't so much of a fortress this year so if we play well and complete our sets, then there is no reason we can't sneak a win.

Wakefield, one game at a time and continue to play with belief.

In terms of progress, I make our average attendance 7,941 now.

With 4 home games left, Wigan, Leeds, Sts and Widnes we are looking good. I hope we can get it over an 8,000 average. That would be a massive achievement
