Which is why the pack needs to stand up. It's all down to them to give our scratch halves a chance.

Everything crossed too that we don't get anymore injuries.

I think the pack are capable of getting on top if they are at their best. My only concern is lack of creativity which is obviously going to be our problem with having Walsh, lomax and Wilkin out. Even if we only had one of them then I feel we'd be in with a big shout of old Trafford providing the pack perform.

I can't see a win on Friday unfortunately

Leeds and Wakefield are on different levels. No way Leeds will let Turner play like the wildcats did.

Leeds superleague form is worse than Wakefield, they have lost to Wakefield, Bradford and London lately.
If our pack gets momentum and put Leeds on the back foot there will be space for Wello, Turner and Lance to play positively.
I don,t think Leeds energy levels will be the same as the cup final last week.

Beat Leeds and were guaranteed top 3...

Great result for us!

Re: Imperative to finish top : Thu Aug 28, 2014 9:27 pm  

Awful more like, 3 defeats and we could still end up 6th! Certainly possible too.

Re: Imperative to finish top : Thu Aug 28, 2014 9:37 pm  

I'd say keeping them both away from us is as good a result as we could have hoped for

I'm hoping McDonnell will be at fullback as well. He offers us something very positive in attack, and we need all the positive in attack that we can get.

If we win tomorrow and Wigan and Cas lose we can't lose top spot.
Well we can hope.

A draw was probably the best result fir us in terms I'd getting top. Bad result if we don't finish top.

1 more win from 3 will make us guaranteed a top 4 spot to put a positive slant on things.
