I agree, Ablett looks seriously in need of a game off to recharge his battery.

I'd leave keinhorst out easily. he's a good squad player. no more no less

A squad player, as you put it, but one in need of match fitness who could be valuable to us in future matches should we suffer injuries whereas Ablett looked absolutely kn*ckered against Wigan.

Thaler is the ref again.

Yes, that would be my 19 too, based on the 19 announced.

i was meaning in respect of him or Sutcliffe in the centre. should have been clearer

I would be inclined to give Cuthbertson a rest this week and Burrow from the bench could give Parcell some minutes off. I prefer Keinhorst in the centre to Sutcliffe if on the left side as the defence will be tighter.

Wakefield deserve respect and we need to be on form again to get in the grove for the Saints match

Like you say Wakey deserve respect so I wouldn't go without Cuthbertson who can be a difference maker, however on the team I listed on the other page I was tempted to start Garbutt over him and use Cuthbertson off the bench for a bit of impact if needed and hopefully not have to get too many mins out of him.

Important game because I feel if we win this then we'll end up finishing 2nd as I fancy home victories vs Salford and Hull (cup final 5 days earlier) later on. Saints play Hull so one of nearest challengers are dropping points on Friday.

Same as last week barring Burrow in for Lilley. Garbutt still missing.

It's a glorious evening for the game.

Great effort Danny...

Was Liam Finn inside the 10 on the BJB try? I'm happy with it being a try but should it be according to the rules?

25 minutes, red hot,fast game, no changes. Wakefield get in.

shambles. some players are shattered. ffs get some rotations going.

Sutcliffe is a defensive liability at centre. So many bad decisions. Problem is he's not a half-back either. Maybe play him a fullback so we've at least some sort of attacking threat there.

JJB is missing a few tackles, and Ablett looks tired. McGuire is a defensive liability, far worse than Briscoe.

outmuscled, outrun and outthought. needs to get a lot better. sadly macdermott struggles to change things during a game tactically

JJB going for a record of late-in-set penalties, even for him.

How do you go from being so bad, to so good, and back again all in the space of a fortnight?

Awful display, game over at half time, Jjb utterly shocking, get him off utter liability.

McD taking back the reins at training this week is going well.

A farcical first half summed up with that last try. I think that might have been JJB's worst 40 minutes of his career, he has been woeful.

wow. this is awful. making wakefield look like Melbourne.
got away with a one prop bench last week but we aren't this. wakey making ground easily. totally outmuscled.

Ablett is also shot to pieces. And no keinhordt - mad

Sal wrote Hull off before the semi, then thought Wigan would win, and then wrote Wakey off this week. The man's a Jonah of the highest order.

true but he was shattered after 20 minutes and left out there by our tactical genius. the guy who could do no wrong last week. people will still defend him if we lose by 50
