Talking rubbish man.
Trinity only ever win when the opposition are crap, injured of not taking Wakefield seriously.
They never have and never will win a game on merit or, because the actually played better than the opposition

I think if Widnes lose brown, they will definitely be flirting with the middle 8s. He has been the difference for them the past few years and without him they don't seem to have someone who can unlock defenses.

Jesus can everyone just predict Wakefield to finish top 4 just so that chip on their shoulder doesn't weigh them down so much.

I personally think with the team they have assembled, they will finish in the top 8 again.

that's hilarious, seriously you and your mate are real funny guys

Aw mate stop being precious. With the squad you have, Wakefield have a very good chance of making the top 8 and maybe even higher, but why act in incredulous when people suggest that you might be in the bottom 4? Given the last 3 or 4 seasons, on average that is the most common place where you end up. Hence people putting you there. Don't take it personally, or at least get some salt for that chip.

I'n not arguing with that, but please explain the Leigh thing to me?

They could well do, don't think most would deny that but they also see a scenario that they won't. The incredulous response and the whole "maybe someday the rest of the league will give us credit" is cringeworthy.

Wow, talk about generalising. That's like us thinking all Leeds supporters act like cry babies who rush to every forum to blindly defend
Kallum Watkins if anyone dares to critisize him.
Now that IS cringeworthy!

I predict that there will be happiness and sorrow in equal measure , can't wait

Wakefield's fans obsession with Watkins is cringeworthy. Love to rip him as a player even though he's won every domestic honour in the English game yet cry foul that supporters of other clubs don't give their club credit for finishing 8th one season. It'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

Does anyone ever look back a year and see if anyones predictions were accurate?

my guess is they never are.

I predicted Australia would win the 4 nations and I predict they will win it again and again and again

Can anyone find the 2016 one? I can't find it on my phone

You mean the two you've argued with about this particular issue?

I refer you back to a previous post I made, about the folly of attributing characteristics to all fans of a particular club, based on your interactions with one or two of them. It's silly.

Bit rich from the bloke who spends every minute of every day on here telling anyone who'll listen how Leeds would have gone unbeaten in the NRL and then won the Four Nations too had their training ground not flooded.

Everyone got it completely wrong last season so my revised prediction (after 23 rounds) is going to be:

1. Wakefield
2. Castleford
3. Salford
4. Warrington
5. Saint Helens
6. Catalans
7. Wigan
8. Leigh
9. Hull FC
10. Leeds
11. Huddersfield
12. Widnes

Featherstone and Hull KR to get promoted, Bradford to lose the MPG against Leeds. Widnes and Huddersfield to be automatically relegated

Indeed. Yet the mere mention of Watkins and once again he goes into a frenzy and mentions 'obsessed'.
Pot, kettle, black.

Yes writing "Wakey fans are obsessed" truely are the words of frenzy.

Nothing wrong with pointing out the issues a side had last year whether it's Leeds, Cas, Wakey. But when the likes of Leeds, Wigan and Saints win GF's and all you hear from some supporters of smaller clubs is that we only win stuff because the referees are bent towards us and we have Red Hall in our back pockets then it's ridiculous when Wakey fans want credit for finishing 8th only because Salford got deducted points and with the leakiest defence in the competition.

And you say that Wakefield fans have a chip on THEIR shoulders.
I just hope for your sake, that we have a mild/dry Winter

Thanks for the support, not



However the point you make kind of validates my point. People generalise about Wakefield possibly more than any other club - maybe Salford suffer in a similar way. You can't base your predictions on how Wakey have faired in the past six years or even the last 17 years it's silly. You can only judge on last years and whats been done since then. Thus where you place us is subjective I accept that even if I think it's wrong but how anyone can place us or any other existing SL team below the newly promoted team (whoever they may be) does truly offend because it's totally devoid of reasoning IMHO.

However I've been on these forums long enough to know reasoning has little to do with what some post on here, doesn't mean they should't be prodded occasionally

It'd be funny if what you said was actually true. Most Wakefield fans couldn't give a crap about Watkins, but hey there's nothing like a bit of generalisation & exaggeration to try to make a point, now that's tragic. What does make it funny is loads of your own fans were ripping him to him from start to finish last season.
