i also think we will struggle but will be there with little uns hoping

We currently have both halves and the starting hooker out injured, and another four of the 25 sidelined including Langley and Walker - so thats five of the starting 13 sidelined. Plus we seem to be taking the art of making unforced errors to new heights.

You'll probably not get a better chance than Sunday, if your lot keep it error-free and turn up with the right attitude.

Needs to be fair weather if we are to stand a chance.

By the sounds of it the attitude will be there, but the ability may not be.

Fair weather at Odsal, are you having a laugh?

It is always 10 degrees colder than anywhere else in the country.

I do agree that a dry day would help because this would mean that we could throw the ball around rather than being dragged into a forwards battle which looking at the two packs would lead us to struggle IMO

Ben Gledhill is the key

Very promissing player. Commited as well after playing on Saturday for the reserves and then sunday for the 1st team.

Any relation of yours?

The players attitude is one thing we don't have to question this season; their effort and enthusiasm is self-evident. If we nick 2 points off you on Sunday, that'll be a massive bonus.

As I've said before, attitude and effort is all I ask from Wakefield this year. If they play as well as they can and don't give in when things are going against them, they will have my full supoort, whether we get tonked or not.
Bulls is going to be a hard game, and unfortunately they don't get any easier for a while.

Saying that, I also think there is a chance at Bradford. If we get chance to play we might do it. Problem will be in the front row and halfback.....but we'll see. We said that against Catalan.

I'm sure Glenn will have your boys fired up for this one. If you see Sykes in our starting half backs then you will have no creativity in attack to be worrying about but back to basics for this one, could be a lot closer than your all thinking especially if our lot still have their hands looking like cows tits!!!

Dry conditions and the palyer's allowed to throw it around a bit and i think we'll cause a weakened Bulls a lot of problems. Hopefully a very similar game plan to Catalans - keep away from the big guy's.

Was going to say the same thing Can't wait for Sunday I have a real gut feeling we will win if we get a dry pitch
Come on Trinity

Was very close to our MOM for me on Sunday. Looked good going forward and certainly no lack of effort from him.

Would you pick him over the other props though?

Amor
King
Korky
Johnson

Above Korkidas perhaps. Although I would include all 5 in the match day squad. Johnson if need be could cover the back row.

As much as I like Johnson he is not a prop

We have earned a grade 1 referee this week - Robert Hicks

There's supposed to be some rain through the week, but it's been very sunny in Bradford today, and is due for the same for Sunday. So, the pitch at Odsal should be soft to firm. Which should help with the forward battle, which is what the game is likely to be given the lack of quality in both teams halves.

Well, it's been another sunny but v.chilly day in Bradford today; there's supposed to be a bit of rain tomorrow then fine Friday-Sunday so hopefully it'll be ok *fingers crossed*.

But it's been proper cold for the last few days so Odsal will probably be even colder than usual.

nowt changes there then, that cold it curls the corners of the pitch

I would have all 5 of them and play Johnson in the 2nd row. He has been making plenty of meters down the middle so imagine what he could do if he was playing wider and running at some of the smaller guys.

Agreed. And we will end up killing the poor sod if we don't get him some back up and quick

I noticed then when we were on a kick receive last Sunday that we left a massive gap in the middle of the park. That leaves us wide open for a rush kick and lose possession straight from the kick off which we could do without.

Concerned of Wakefield!

yes it was pointed at the play the ball

never turn yer back, tackle and be offside

good luck to the team going to have miss this one for personal reasons
