A Wakefield win today would be awesome and they have got off to a good start with a Craig Hall try after 3 minutes.

EDIT: Just as I was typing that, Wakey crossed for their second try in the 6th minute!

24-6 to wakey now.

Poor sounding game at Craven Park. 6-0 to Rovers with a few minutes left to half time.

30-6 Wakey.

30-22 wakey.. Come on Wakefield.

32-22 now. Wire worked their way right back into it. And Wakey down to 12 for 10 minutes after Jones Bishop sin binned.

Sounds like Widnes are the better side at KR. Score now 12-6. 21 minutes left.

2 really bad teams and an error strewn game.

I pity Rovers if the Middle 8's consist of Widnes, Rovers, Leeds and Huddersfield.

Spoke too soon. Rovers in again.

18-10 to Rovers
32-28 to Wakefield

Wakefield have scored again! 8 point lead.

And that is a final score! Well done Wakefield. So, we are joint points with the league leaders at the end of round 14!

Joint top. Jesus, when was the last time that happened at this point in the season?

Widnes in freefall now, reckon Rovers will take their place in the 8.

we did well to win at wakey.good side now.

Someone will take there place but it won't be us on today's showing

You have a three point cushion on the rest of the bottom four and Widnes without a win in 7...

Some tasty fixtures for the Magic weekend. Cas v Wire should be very good.

Widnes were poor and we weren't much better really but regardless of what happens at Magic we won't move from 9th

Disagree, Campese's back on Sunday and all that.

Well I'd say we're third rather than joint top



Not been this high mid season since 2006 when we moved up to third midway through the long unbeaten run. We hung around in third for weeks before eventually moving above Leeds by beating them 23-16 at the KC in early August.

What chance we could be top next Sunday evening?

Great result today for Wakefield. Chester has really turned them around, they look to be heading for 6th place. Remarkable.

Need to get it where you can as an FC fan.



It does feel like we've not had a run like this for years. As Radford, and several of the squad are keen on saying at the moment, "long may it continue".

I can't see hudds or leeds winning 2 more games than rovers in the remaining 9 and widnes don't look likely to win again. I can see 16 points being enough to get in the top 8 this year which is pretty shocking really

Widnes without Brown are a shadow of the side they were pre-easter. Apart from us, they are the worst side I've seen this year. Its funny how they handed out a shed load of contract extensions when they were 6 from 7. Now, 7 straight defeats later you wonder what happened to their desire.

I would guess Salford will be the benefactors of their demise, we don't have it in us to kick on. 3 straight defeats coming up for us.

I agree with you about Hudds, Jake, but I think Leeds are stuck in reverse along with Widnes and are finding it tough to stop their downwards spiral. We laboured to a win over a poor Widnes side today and we have 3 more wins in us only this season and as things stand none of those will be against Hull. We will finish 9th or 10th. Salford also have the team to turn things round over the last 9 games.

Unless they finally learn how to play to their potential, I wouldn't want to be picking Watkins, Hardaker, Hall, Briscoe, Ferres, Cuthbertson and Ablett in the England squad for the 4 nations on the form any of them are in at the moment or have shown so far this season. By contrast, the form of some of your boys warrants serious consideration.

Maybe I've been a cynical FC fan too long, but I'm never that confident going into a derby.
It just all seems set up to me for Rovers to end our run.
Widnes are settling near to where I expected them to be. Their early season form was greater than the sum of their parts.
Still think the general standard of Super League hasn't been great again this year, although seeing Leeds at the bottom Is very sweet!.
