My thoughts exactly. But instead we get Bill Tupou, who has a record of one try and one assist since he arrived at the club. Young Tom Johnstone must be wishing he had gone to Wigan where he may have seen the ball once in a while. Was scoring for fun when paired up with Arundel or Hall, not a sniff since.

Don't you think it's more of a case of loosing 3 out of 4 and the team being outplayed rather than blame Bill Tupou.

I kknow what people are getting at with Tupou.

He just doesnt have the creative instincts to make it as a centre. He doesnt have the killer pass that is required.

Due to this with the squad selected i would go with Lyne in the centres.

With Tupou I have said it before and will again. He could become a good player for us on the wing if hes given a run in the side there.

Bill Tupou is just a crash it up player, which is good but he has zero ` rugby ` ability in him by which I mean he can`t pass, he has no idea when to pass, 2 on 1 or 3 on 2 plays are wrecked when he has the ball, he should not be anywhere near the centre position. He is a very tough, brave , hard player and what he lacks in size he makes up for in spirit, I would play him from the bench as a sub forward and just have him cart the ball up, he would be a lot more effective than the two big soft girls blouses Anderson and Fatfeeti.
Anthony Tupou is finished, been a great player but to me his body has had enough.

Think Lynne and Arundel should be the centres tomorrow from the squad chosen...

I would go with

Jowitt
Johnstone
Arundel
Lyne
Jones Bishop
Miller
Finn
Anderson
Moore
England
Ashurst
Molloy
Annakin

Sio
B Tupou
Fatifa
Arona

Bill Tupou to just edge out Howarth, as he could fill backs and second row.

Also Sio can cover hooker and back row, and has a little more pace

I'd go with this

Jowitt
Johnstone
Arundel
Lyne
Jones Bishop
Miller
Finn
Anderson
Moore
England
Ashurst
Molloy
Sio

Howarth
B Tupou
Fatifa
Arona

Howarth work rate is massive and I like Sio at loose forward for some of the time too. If it's heavy weather I'd put Annakin instead of Tupou.

Jowitt
BJB
Lynne
Arundel
Johnstone
Miller
Finn
Anderson
Moore
England
Ashurst
Molloy
Howarth

Sio
Arona
Annakin
Fifita

Not sure how Molloy got into wakeys 19 cos he had bloody nightmare against Leeds his defence was crap

Howarth for me is a very lucky he's still in SL. He does try hard I'll give him that but putting a couple of big hits in now and again doesn't warrant a place anywhere near the 19.......unless we are desperate. He certainly shouldn't playing 9, too slow and undecided and never attacks unless we are 1 metre away from the line. His skill levels just aren't there and by now they never will be.

Thought fifita had a broken cheekbone?

Suspected but looks like his all clear.

no chance it may well be over 30 instead of 20 that I predicted

If it is you can have a nice little jizzfest party on your own this evening then can't you?

Tomorrow morning mate I will be up at 5am watching the game cant wait!!!! come on wakey

That's better

think this should be a win

We've had a lot more value from Howarth this season than a far few others in our squad this year including our super dooper big hitting former origin player.

Four of us going. Come on the Trin.

Well Howarth wont be playing www.totalrl.com/bradford-land-st ... onth-loan/

What a superb performance from the lads. I didn't think we could do it with the forwards we had missing but the team showed up big style.

Special mention for Walton who has hardly played lately and came on and did well

Absolutely fantastic performance by everyone tonight, Fifita looks an absolute beast, they couldn't live with him. The doubters were all proved wrong again, well done boys very proud to be a Wakefield Trinity supporter tonight. Semi Final here we come!!

Thought Bill Topou had a great game against cudjoe too

Yes I was impressed with Walton, how old is he? Obviously Fifita as well but for me it wasn't a great spectacle with both teams spoiling at the PTB. Good win though.
