That’s dire. Cas will be delighted. He’s a first class bum wipe of a referee.
Smug, arrogant and the rest. Been a long while since I disliked an official as much as him.
Kiss of death. Makes it harder but we will have to overcome a major phycological disadvantage on Friday night.

Brilliant.
We've got Dumb & Dumber.....

We'll get bugger all from this guy. He hates us with a passion.
We are really up against it now.

I won’t say that he hates us because I don’t think referees do or should show bias of any kind but I don’t think the way he referees agrees with how we play. Probably the best I can describe it.

Irrespective of who the referee is on friday.I think that Wakey will score more points than Cas and will win the game

That's like when the queen said "recollections may differ"

Don't say that about referees. You'll have Pop Tart climbing up on his high horse again. He believes ALL referees are whiter than white.

I slipped up last week because I arranged to go to Hull before I realised he was in charge. I also said to myself that I would not go to watch a game again if he was the ref, irrespective of its importance. Although I have season tickets, right now I feel like sticking to my principals.

No offence, but if you're not going, why not lend out your season ticket(s) to someone that wants to go but can't get a ticket?

I would have no problem with that if suitable arrangements could be made. They would also have to be over 65

Cannot believe that mature adults can make such ridiculously derogatory comments about a referee. If we are good enough we will win.

Or you could just grow up?

We have to trust the 17 players on the pitch and not use the ref as an excuse if we lose, the ball hasnt been kicked yet. He isnt my prefered choice of ref but the cards have been dealt, its up to to the lads to make a win on the pitch. I am sure they will do the job in hand.

If the cameras are there then he must be on the ball surely?

Disregard the ref , play like we did against Wigan,Leeds and Wires and the points are ours ,no doubt about it , but bring the Hudds or Hull performance to the table , now that could be a problem . Go out all guns blazing and give them the old Shock & Awe treatment and Cas will buckle its guaranteed .Our Home form of late has been great, so I see no reason why that shouldn’t continue against a poor Cas side and should be a comfortable win . Treat them lightly at our peril

I was hoping for anyone but Kendall.

Tbf, no one has mentioned his performance in the challenge cup final. For me, Wakey have to concentrate on what they have to do, and let the rugby take care of itself. Good luck, and I'm really looking forward to the game.

Spot on. I think Kendal is arrogant and inconsistent but he will not be the reason we win or lose.

Exactly this. I fully believe we have a better team than they do so whoever the ref is if play well we'll beat them, it's simple as that. The bookies are rarely wrong and, whilst it must be for the first time for a while, they have us as favourites for this for a reason. They are giving Cas a four point start and we are 8/13 on to win off scratch. It's ours for the taking and i think we will with something to spare.

Yep his cup final was also very bias

It wasn't, it was balanced.

Nah he knows that we all turn up or switch the telly on just to watch HIM

It's alright for you, the "afterglow" of the Cup Final victory, will keep you smiling for years and you guys will definitely have something to say in the play offs.
We're still dreaming about that kind of season !

In fairness, WrenCat, Cokey was on topic unlike you (no offence intended).

Bongser hopes to witness, albeit on the goggle-box, a comfy Wakefield victory tomorrow night.
