Lets hope the lads play like they did against Leeds, well apart from the last few minutes of each half.

Doubt there will be more than 1 score in it at the end, are we smart enough to win this.

Hopefully Gleadhill will be ready for a spot and Kirmonds recovered.

on telly as well, my lads training night has been moved to the saturday so makes it better for us, looking forward to this as theirs going to be a samba band there be nice if we could get some Brazilian dancing girls there too party night at Belle Vue www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/samb ... i606966.ht

dont see us getting near Bradford plenty of huff and puff from us but they will win this by 3 or 4 scores

I'm confused by your logic, we played really well against Leeds, wheras Bradford were a shower of poo against Crusaders...

Aye, and Cooke remains out of the picture - we looked much better without him.

I'll be there on Friday and hopefully, celebrating a win in Fernandes afterwards

we played well for ONE half Leeds were bloody awful in the first half and we blew an 18 point lead do you call that playing well I dont Bradford will have had a good kick up the backside and will have too much class for us in the backs thats how i see it

Its called been on a bit of a downer, hopefully it won't last long we can return to normal service

He can "do one for me" that may not be popular on here but hey ho.

Just might depend on the Bradford halfbacks. Will Orford be fit or will Southernwood play ?

I can see us winning this one.
Provided the lads put in another great effort, I can see us getting the two points.
Bradford coming off the back of a poor performance could be key, especially if orfords back.
But only time will tell.

I think we can win. Just hope blanch has learned how not to make a double becker bus gap. Having trained for 2 weeks we should have learnt more plays.

I think it will go to plan tbh, good start followed by a late Bulls surge. I think we need to spoil and put a few shots in to dig this one out. We seem to fair better when we are giving away penalties, disrupting the play and saving energy. Our discipline has been too good this year. 10 minutes of scrap then 10 mins of Latu, Davey and Obst speed play at the ruck should get us the win.

Don't worry - he's hoping for a win just like the rest of us - it's the old 'expect the worst, but hope for the best routine', which can never fail - I recommend it, but I'm just not consistent enough to keep with and for this game I expect a fairly tight Wildcats win - possibly less than one score in it!

Got to agree with you on this, the team looked alot more creative without Cooke on the field. The looked a much better side IMO. Personally, i think we can manage without him, moving Obst to a permenant scrum half, with Latu and Davey rotating at hooker.

Bradford on Friday is a must win if we're serious about making the play-offs, especially with KR on 12 and Crusaders and Cas hitting 10 points rather quickly in the last few weeks!

Wakefield 12
Hull KR 12
Crusaders 10
C*stleford 10

In my opinion if Cooke don't play it's a plus for us, the rugby will be better and I feel a win will be inevitable.

Really looking forward to this game. Think we are in with a shout. Lot depends on if Orford plays though.

With regards the Cooke thing, he's only been here 10 minutes. Agree, so far does not look great, and I have no microphones in the dressing room, but we can either make judgement after a few games, or give him just a little more time. I will personally give him a little more time.

(Just like Harry did with Gareth.

)

Because I am allowed to.

The players and the coach will no doubt have the last word on this.

I fancy us for the win,as long as we come out with the right level of intensity and the defense gives no time for Orford to play.Hope to see a better right side defense,with having 2 weeks to work on it.The side should be raring to go and put in a performance against Bradford that shows the team are starting to gel and play some decent Rugby League.

Of course you are allowed






How long should we give him?

First forty against the Bulls then give hime the hook.

Only as long as his worth improves to a level of acceptability that players, coaching staff and fans alike find endearing.



[size=50or a couple more games. [/size

I can't wait for Friday, I just hope they keep Bentham, Ganson, Silverwood and Child away from the game



Bradford to win by no more than eight points and the crowd to be a tad under 7k.

Agree.

At times against eigh on Friday, you couldn't tell which was the Championship club to the Super league club, the silly passes behind the attacking line we did.

Cant make this one Im afraid as off to see Peter Kay.

50:50 on this one for me but if we play like we did at Leeds we could easily beat them.

Its never that way though with Bradford.
