Dwyer shouldn't play again for FC, he's a liability. Lane has been going backwards for two seasons.

Crucial we start this game well, Wakey will throw everything at it and if they get a roll on we might struggle. At Hudds it was clear right at the start we werent clicking and never got out of that rut.

I don't honestly believe they feel that we have as a club much hope for the top 6, do you? whilst wakey are absolutely desperate for with the IMG stuff (and rather like Castleford) they may not get up again if they get relegated. So for me we may well lose this one unless we start fast and keep our foot on the gas. And we are not too good at that at present!

If we had beaten Hudds I think we would have had a good shot at the top 6. I think now 8th is probably where we’ll finish, if not lower. Who knows, bonkers season.

Win all our home games (not impossible with the fixtures and home form), Cas away and we probably go to Saints last game needing a win to make tyec6, certainly a better position than previous years.

Think there'll be a few twists between now and the end of the season. Be interesting to see how the likes of Rovers go post Wembley, Warrington with the departure of Powell, Salford with the situation they may be in and even St's without the likes of Walmsley & Pasi for the run in.

Hull fans know what a Wembly visit can do to a teams season, im hoping we'll get the win and the confidence will push us to a great seasons end too, but we've seen many teams fall off a cliff afterwards so who knows,
Plenty of twists as you say, Warrington??? God only knows what they'll do, Saints have those injuries you mention, then there's Leeds, who'll obviously be in the mix too. Your points difference probably means you need an extra win too when you think about it so it'll defo be tough.

Re: Wakefield @home : Thu Aug 03, 2023 9:40 am  

It’s a weird season a needed transition for us and TS has started a much needed process. We don’t need to win anything now but next year is different. However who knows what will occur in the next few weeks!

I'll be very surprised if Powell isn't back in charge of Cas before the end of the season.

If you win the cup, doubt you would be bothered about the league and I wouldn't blame you.
