That's going to be a really lightweight pack and bench. Maybe we'll be forced to throw the ball about a bit. Maybe we'll just stick to one man up the middle stuff.

Having slept since last Friday I'm ready for the usual fresh start and will be sat there shouting and bawling as usual. It's a drug!

Great to see Jowitt and Anakin back in the squad and dont know why it's taken so long for Anakin to get a game, utterly mad.
I've absolutely nothing against Gwaze but, surely, Anakin should have been ahead of him in the pecking order.



Having said that, it's difficult to see us getting over the top of Wigan, especially on their home patch.

Everything crossed that somehow, we can cause an upset.

Come on Trin !

No Kopczak is a blow, he's been pretty consistant all year.

I keep forgetting about the 4 players we have out who would be in the first 13 on the pitch.Not to happy about the rugby we are playing at present ,but them 4 missing is not helping

4 players

Copzcak arona fafita kirmond ashurst Johnston would all be starting for me pretty much a full pack if you include chubbs -

If you want to see more or less a full pack out, take a look at the squad below..Maybe 1 or 2 of there first choice pack available so probably less than us, yet we are still sat here making excuses - Wigan are just getting on with it.

Joe Burgess, Liam Byrne, Tony Clubb, Liam Farrell, Oliver Gildart, Chris Hankinson, Zak Hardaker, Ethan Havard, Willie Isa, Liam Marshall, Romain Navarrete, Ollie Partington, Sam Powell, Jarrod Sammut, Dan Sarginson, Jake Shorrocks, Morgan Smithies, Jack Wells, George Williams.

Koppy is a real miss this week IMO, he has been our most consistent player this season.

That is true - but bet the team named by Wigan are on double the total spend at Wakefield - they also pretty much have their pick of juniors whereas our juniors are perhaps less attractive as signings for the bigger clubs

but yes I am getting my excuses in first

Had not forgotten about the rest . The 4 piayers I meen would be in any S L team

Didn't we loose a few key players to injury the last played the pies?

That was the start of the injury crisis.

Up the Trin

All just accidental as well

you mean when we went up to 3rd without them all

You think this could be the game we return to form just like I have for all the previous ones. I guess one game they will not disappoint me.

We all know that “we aren’t playing tiddlywinks “ bu Could we hope that the Sky cameras and the 4th official might have an influence matters.

Heard a rumour that rocky wont play this week or any other and is going in a swap deal with a giants player

Seems a bit odd him being in the 19 then? You hear it in the Fox & Grapes again by any chance?

No never been in there its on northstanders page

Williams apart for me we have the better squad out on thur ,it’s not about the spend in my opinion that sets us apart its that deep rooted pride and passion that Wigan have instilled in their players over the years ,something we are woefully lacking at this moment in time. Until such time wakefield can Instil that mentality in the players and club any player that comes in no matter how expensive will soon drop into the easy way of life here at belle vue.
Going back to thur I’m expecting a hard fought wakey win but we need to want it more than Wigan for that to happen ,the players should be fit and raring to go ,just need Chester and co to put some fire in their bellies and the two points are ours and the dreaded drop will be a distant memory .

Can’t see a Wakey win coming anytime soon but I’ll be happy fo be proved wrong. Still debating whether to go tomorrow and I normally wouldn’t give it a second thought. Hope the players can motivate themselves to give a gutsy performance and that they have been given a few ideas in his to defend. Ashurst and Arona are certainly being missed.

I can't see Wigan rolling over - injuries or not, and form or not, they always seem to have squad players ready to step up and at least give 100% effort; which is more than some of our first team players seem capable of at the moment.

In other circumstances, this would be a game to target - in these circumstances, it will be one to watch on the telly, vaguely hopeful that it's worth keeping on past half time.

Wigan win seems inevitable.
We have the players of sufficient quality to give them a game but that requires some attacking ideas, structured defence and most of all heart but we're coming up short in all those areas.
Only chance we may have is if we put Hampshire where he should be, in the halves, Jowitt to FB and Pauli at prop (he may have to be now that Kopczak has dropped out - god help us in the pack!)
