There's only ever been 1 game like it at Belle Vue.

I've thoroughly enjoyed Leigh's performances

Glad to hear it



Given Wakey are without Lee Smith as well, Bradford for me

Well, I've really enjoyed it. That's what's important for me as a punter. There's some really flawed logic in your argument, so I'll address it is at a time...


This season, Wakey would have been buried very early into the season and it would be over for them. As would some of the other lower clubs. This has prolonged the season for them. We wouldn't have had the variety of seeing the top Championship clubs playing.


No, you have 23 rounds to stay in the competition. The top eight are automatically in it again the year after. The bottom four then need to earn their place in it.
It's like saying if you don't get through to the knock out stages of the WC, you qualify for the WC qualifiers. It just doesn't make sense as a criticism.


When was the last time the top of the Championship were promoted for being top? Leigh would have had to win the playoffs first, and considering they got well beaten by both Bradford and Halifax in the 8s, it's a good bet they wouldn't have this time!


Spectator sport has always been entertainment! Why do you think people go watch it?

Today is the day!

Wouldnot it be better to play it on gf day at old Trafford?

I was thinking championship finals day.

You know the one that sky and RFL have forgotten about?

Can't go on the Wakey board as they've banned me.

So I'll have to put it on here. Good Luck Wakefield. May the best team win.

Bradford letting everyone down as usual.

Silverwood being a joke as per usual.

Lowes gracious in defeat.

Good game

Lowes is an absolute gobbin, hopefully it will cost him.

glad wakey won

but lowes has a point, the new system is a joke!

Wow, as dummy spits go, that is unbelievable. Lowes has sent his dummy into orbit there.

Lowes making a fool of himself.
He'll not coach a top club until he adopts a more professional and mature attitude.

Lowes was correct in saying bad Reffing cost them but you can't say anything about the mental midget officials.

Bad reffing didn't cost them. The ref wasn't that bad.

Inability to defend is what cost them.

Smith sounds 81, never mind 61.

As much as Jimmy Lowes should have kept that under his hat, I can see his point. It would be like the team at the top of the football championship who have played well and won loads of points, having to play a team from the bottom of the Premier League who have played e all season, but still have a Premier League squad on big wages.

What big points changed the game against Bradford and not for them?

Addy "knock on" that was a ball steal, Wakefield get a penalty and score that set.

Ball bounces off the Bradford players neck/chest no try.

Ball steal at the end of the game.

There's 3 off the top of my head.

Lowes needs to look in the mirror. The decision which cost them that game wasn't from the ref : it was his decision to try and kick a very difficult equaliser, instead of running the ball with 4 minutes to go. He lost that game himself. Not often you get a coach playing such a direct role in losing a game on the field when it's underway.

Wakefield are staying up with 6 points from regular rounds. Not sure this is the right result

But I'm assuming Lowes wasn't complaining when Silverwood sensibly used the video ref to award his team the chance to win the game by checking for an offside marker with 4 minutes left. Shame Lowes bottled the decision and threw the game away with a small-chances kick.
