Hey up Rog, hope you'll be over on Sunday to watch our reserves beat yours, then you'll see for yourself why we let them go, I'm surprised you've got as many really, Huddersfield usually take them off our hands

Haha, it's Saturday not Sunday but I guess you knew

As soon as I posted my reply i thought I hope I don't end up with egg on my face, but I know it's just a bit of banter. I know deep down you wish you were a Bulls fan

Clare
Caro
Purts
Nielsen
Williams
Gaskell
Addy

That's the biggest backline I've seen in a while.

And probably one of the fastest we've had for a long long time.

We do seem to pick some strange squads, no Walshaw but Baille, no f/b despite 2 fit ones available, Siejka in squad despite not playing for ages, does this mean he must play and./or a half back is injured?

While there's no natural full-back in the squad, I'm expecting Clare to line up there. I'd be surprised if Gaskell played there having played at 6 in every game that he's featured in this season.

Agree with macca's team. Siejka and Baile to miss out for me but it worries me they've been included. Jimmy's past history leads me to think that at least one will be included. Which IMO will weaken our team rather than strengthen it. Will be a good battle of the forwards

That's where the game will be won I reckon. If our pack stands up to theirs and restricts their metres, then we'll minimalize the threat of Tim Smith. I think our backs are faster than theirs and could cause some damage. We can't allow Wakefield unnecessary field position. Discipline and ball retention will be vital early on.

Re: Super 8's Game 2: Wakefield Away : Thu Aug 13, 2015 6:26 pm  

I think Siejka being in the 19 is probably just to keep Wakefield guessing a little but Clare to fullback would seem the most sensible option if he is comfortable there. I thought Caro showed up well on the wing so it would be nice to see him back in the side.

Wakefield lack pace out wide so if Purtell and Nielsen can create some space for their wingman then we may have some success by shifting it out wide.

Ed, I was merely making an observation not trying to make a point, and I certainly don't have an opinion on the matter, if you must interrupt kindly stop making things up as you go along as desperate as you are, thank you. Good luck and have a safe journey over if you and booazo change your minds and decide to come to the game
