The confidence and passion the team are playing with is plain for everyone to see , and can now hopefully kick on and get amongst the teams above and cause some headaches for them .Thought today we kept inviting the wires back into the game with errors and penalties, which without that foothold it would have been a much more comprehensive victory ,but credit wakefield we dug in and and never let our heads go down and after that astonishing game saving tackle by Murphy the wires heads went down and it was ours to lose .

He can become a big fish in a little pond with us just like Johnstone and build our team around them , but if they decide that they want pastures green then so be it , we simple can’t compete with the big boys in monies or facility’s ,but imo no one is bigger than the club and we thank them for their efforts and move on without them , if that is their choice .

Highlights on sky sports now

Was it Jai W that made the break down the middle in the first half?

If it’s the one I’m thinking, it was Batch playing in centre.

There were a few breaks. Batchelor was one but Whitbread also broke downfield but unfortunately was no support pushing up.

I can understand that as a reason to move on but the rumour is Hull KR! That to me just says money.

Yes he actually did it twice.

I got told that we have now bettered KR's offer ??

Just been looking at the "James Batchelor" page on Wikipedia and they've already got him listed as playing for Hull KR in the 2023 season. A little premature I hope.

Interesting debate about Pitts … (haven’t seen highlights yet) but my other team (sharks) have stared using Wade Graham as edge forward at the start of the game then using him as a middle from the first or second interchange… and it works well


Good win btw… nice surprise to wake up to!

Talking to the guys at the match with me and we were talking about whats changed to get us the wins.
Personally I think Poaching called it a few weeks ago.
He said we weren't far off and training was good but that we were losing our focus as soon as the game went against us. Which meant we were throwing silly passes and jumping out of the line and straying from the game plan.
That's exactly why we won today. We bombed plenty of opportunities but stuck at it and came home strong.

Maybe but for me we won one against Hull that we were lucky to win and that gives a team confidence.

We were far better today than last week because we seemed to play with real confidence. We looked up for this game from start to finish.

Coaches need to be lucky as do players at times and Pochings came last week when Gale fluffed two drop goals that normally he’d get with ease. Don’t think luck played much of a part this week, self belief did.

Surely you didn't expect any thing else.


Think next years derby's are safe now.

Long long way to go to being a centre of Tupou or lynne’s quality in both attack and defence , two well taken tries ,but old man Widdop breezed passed him for his try

True and I’m not suggesting Batch move there full time. However in the modern game versatility is vital for all players but especially players at clubs like ours.

To be able to play S/R and LF is handy but to be able to move to centre if needed is hugely valuable. Basically you have a forward and a back in one player in your 17. Rarely do teams have the luxury of a centre on the bench.

So to me that’s added greatly to his value.

Very much so

I really hope Batch stays, he's one of our own.

To come back so many times during a game and then snatch a winner shows true character

Well done wakefield

That's a very applaudable remark.
I'm puzzled by Warrington's situation - I know we were up for it yesterday and your comments are accurate, but to have so much talent in your team and being where you are makes no sense.

His team do have so much talent, and are at the top of the league.

I don't really believe in luck in sport. Hard work gets you opportunities. Some you take some you don't.
