To be fair Fully that's been us as well for most of the season because it seems to be the tried and trusted approach when the defeats start stacking up and confidence is low. The dilemna for Wakey is whether to stick with it or channell some of the confidence they will have regained into letting their pivots move the ball further wide. If they opt for the latter I hope Shenny and Arundel are back because Millard and Murphy would get lots of change out of Ferres and Thompson on the evidence of the Wire game.
I would agree with that. If it's wet conditions I would expect us the ones to be more adaptable to it. I would expect a comfortable Wakefield win in such circumstances. In dry conditions it will be an interesting tactical battle. Will conceding 54 points last week effect Castlefords confidence? Like most below average teams your confidence eventually comes crashing back to earth and you go back to the good old 5 drives and a kick. Maybe Cas haven't dropped back to that yet and maybe Wakey aren't ready to kick on yet, who knows? The opening exchanges will be interesting.
From our point of view it depends which Paul Cooke turns up. Personally I would play Sam Obst (if fit) as he has an excellent track record against Cas and seems to revel in these derby games.
