First of many I'm sure, but I must say Richard Agar looks well in the new away kit.

I'd love to know how writer, Nick Woodward KNOWS this to be true:
""Only Crusaders’ withdrawal of their Super League license application saved the club from entering the Championships".
I am fairly fed up off this, the club should either ask for an apology or let the author name his source.
This kind of lazy journalism only harms our credibility, if we were a FTSE100 business, there would be solicitors all over this.
If we don't put an end to this rot, it is in danger of becoming fact by default.

Hey, we wouldn't have it any other way. If anybody ever gives us a chance, then it will be time to worry.
Doubters are there to be proved wrong and I cant wait to prove this guy, Gary Schofield and all the other
experts wrong.
If you have nothing, then you have nothing to lose !

Nick Woodward, Wire fan uk.linkedin.com/in/nwoodward2011 I wouldn't read too much into his prediction.

And so it begins...

Lazy journalism indeed. Oh well, bottom of the rung for us again ... cough cough!

Its more than just a "backs against the wall" thing though, it's about us being treat as the RFL whipping boys, and looked upon by the wider public as a laughing stock.
This harms our credibility and makes it harder for us to attract players and income from supporters and business via sponsorship etc.
God knows over the last few years of the previous admin, we made life tough enough for ourselves, and deservedly suffered, we don't need others taking an advantage.
Every time something like this gets spouted it takes away from us and elevates others.
A more litigious WTW should see this come to an end.

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity. especially when lazy journalists are involved.

The blokes a clown. He contradicts himself by stating we have a lot of new players yet ignoring Widnes are in the same boat.

to be honest how many Wakefield fans think they would be in super league if crusaders did not pull out . No point hiding behind the truth any body else who thinks any think else are kidding them self . after all this is the corrupt rugby league were talking about who just safe guided Bradfords future . For league prediction i think wakey will not finish with the wooden spoon about 12th sounds about right above salford and widnes .

Simple answer? I'll give you it, when you can back up your statement with any facts, which you wont be able to because there aren't any, so your pretty much wasting everyone's time.
You can believe whatever makes you happiest!

Widnes above Wakey.

Dream on sunshine!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if the joker has go the guts to put his money where his mouth his. I would be quite happy to match any amount he wants that we won't finish bottom.

You could have predicted they would predict us to be the whipping boys again. This is the first of many so called experts to give their view and surprise surprise who's in the bottom slot ? It happens year on year and is becoming tiresome to say the least. The only way we can increase our credibility is to stuff it up 'em and get in that 8 with a brand of quick and exciting attacking rugby league and make sure we become over time a top side challenging for silverware. What gets me is, we have never been in that bottom slot in all our time in Super League, don't these journalists do any research ?

Where did Kieran Hyde go??? Must have missed it.

He must be hyding.....

Why you seen us play?Vice versa nobody can say until a few months into the season.Your team is virtually new like Widnes and it is how they gel.Referees,injuries and squad depth play apart.Widnes is one of the youngest squads in Superleague and we gave Saints a scare.So anyone who predicts after a few friendlies are off their head.

Yes indeed. We should know our place and expect to finish bottom of SL.
How dare we have some confidence.

Silly us!

It would be nice to know the state of play with him. Under contract for this year, not moved to another team but not given a squad number. I assume we are still paying him, is he still training with us?

Thought Hyde had gone to play in France.

Nope, I've seen Hyde around town. Not sure what has happened though.

Hey who cares i hope Salford and Castleford are the bottom 2.

Anyway get on the buses to Widnes and enjoy the game and atmosphere.

You have just redeemed yourself!

On the new team photo for the media day, is it me or is Hyde in the top right corner?
