Interesting game in prospect, even though I feel Hull KR are nailed on for the middle 8's at this point, Wakefield still have quite a bit to play for in order to keep within that TOP 8 and not let their resurgence be for nothing. Phil Clarke's predictions regarding Wakefield got off to a good start last week as they lost to Salford, and not just lost, but beaten well. I wonder if Wakefield will bounce back or let last weeks defeat capitulate them.

Hull KR have Campese and Allgood back in their squad, which should boost them. The funny thing is that because Campese has played so little for KR, he's basically still an unknown entity when he takes the field even well into his 2nd year with the club. Wakefield are without Danny Kirmond after a trip in the Salford game, and Ben Jones Bishop for seemingly reasons unknown? They have Molloy and Howarth back in contention to replace those two.

What's everyone think?

Wildcats win in a close game by 6 to 8 points.

Attendance: 4,550
MOTM: Miller
Estimated game finish time: 22.15

Wakefield to win by two wrongly allowed tries courtesy of Ben "Wakey Fan" Thaler, whilst at the same time disallowing a perfectly good try by Hull KR. Referee Chris Kendall will be very rude to the Hull KR players whilst giving the Wakey players a couple of winks and pats on the back.

We've been very good at home this season once we got going after the early rounds...

We've played some great rugby and scored some excellent tries and scored plenty of points....if you include the two cup games we've won 6 out of our last 7 at home and the least amount of points we've scored in those games was the 28 in the sole defeat to the excellent and very worthy league leaders Hull FC....(36) against Huddersfield, (32) Salford, (62) Wigan, (44) Sheffield, (40) Toulouse, (36) Warrington....

Salford was a bad defeat to a very good side, but we bounced back the last time we tasted defeat so can see us doing so again....Kirmond will be a miss as he's been playing well but Jon Molloy is a very under rated player and can come in and offer similar to what Kirmond does so shouldn't be that big a loss as it may look.....Johnstone coming back in is a huge lift as he is a genuine match winner and always a threat...

The thing we've done well this season is finish games strongly...if there's not much in it around the hour mark I can see us finishing strongly and winning quite comfortably....the time we may be vulnerable seems to be the 3rd quarter of games...

Should be a good game if the weather holds out...pitch looked very good last night...might make a refreshing change to see us on Sky instead of Leeds taking another hammering! Looking forward to it....a win and we will look very good for a top eight finish...a loss and the jitters may well begin and we could be looking over our shoulders again!

SO nothing different then same has normal

hull kr to win at a canter. The wakefield implosion started last week

So you're inclined to believe Phil Clarke's prediction that Wakefield will lose all of their remaining games?

That is very interesting regarding the amount of points you've posted in your home games! Didn't realise that, if you can keep that up then I can't see Hull KR having a chance of keeping up. Wasn't aware Johnstone was missing last week either, I guess that's why BJB has been dropped?

BJB did his hamstring last week and came off with about 20 to go.

Johnstone was given a week off as he'd had a bit of a groin strain...BJB may well have missed out this week anyway without the injury because his son binning was a major factor in our defeat at Salford and a poor play on his part, and by all accounts Reece Lyne has been training the house down so would arguably have taken his place?

Think it will be a points fest. I fancy Wakey at home, although KR have obviously been targeting this game, and if Kelly and Campese both play, and if these 2 are in the mood, they are good enough to win the game on their own.

Wakey by 10 and secure their place in 8.

I hope you are right, I would be chuffed to bits with a victory against KR and IF we can gain a win, by any means, we would be looking good for the top 8.
Also, we want some form going into our cup game with Shudds

Slightly worried about this one. KR seem to blow either hot or cold and we weren't much cop against Salford last week.
The bookies seem to have us as favourites to win by 4 so they are expecting a tight game too.

Will be interesting.

yes I see it as evenly matched to be honest.
KR have a bit of revenge to play for and a life line to the 8 so they will be motivated.
Holding Campese back for this game shows how much they want it. If Wakefield don't match that we'll lose.

Saying that, Wakefield have some good form under their belt and we'll have to wait and see if the game against Salford was a blip or the start of a fall.
We had two guys in the bin at the same time which really put the game beyond us at Salford. So discipline will be key for us too.

Wakefield's 17:

Hall
Johnstone; Lynne; Arundell; Tupou
Miller; Finn
Scruton; Sio; Simon
Tupou; Ashurst;
Molloy

Arona; Howarth; Anderson; Annakin

Hull Kr's 17:

Marsh;
Sio; Clarkson; Thornley; Dixon
Campese; Kelly
Tilse; Lunt; Walker
Blair; Greenwood
Mulhern

Donaldson, Green, Allgood, Boudebza

If KR win this I think it will mean anyone can still make the top 8

Except Leeds

Poor kick that.

Ooop, Applecart?

Looking like a Dobbins win tonight

They've definitely started more enthusiastic. Both seem slightly jittery though.

Wakefield are woeful so far. Terrified of those kicks.

Rout on the cards.
