I've just seen that the outcome of Bradford's appeal against their points deduction has been deferred again. Can't help but think that this means they're going to be getting some points back if it's taking this long to deliberate over. An absolute farce of an outcome if true and a massive kick in the teeth to London & Wakefield who did everything possible to avoid administration in the close season.

Winning the home game against Bradford will be absolutely crucial to pulling away from the dogfight, not least as we're not going to pick up any points before then.

Just read that 4 times....makes me chuckle as I am still non the wiser

Relegation is now less of a threat because Bradford's appeal has been turned down.

I prefer to leave the schadenfreude to the bell ends of Castleford and Widnes who occasionally pollute this forum, but this is, nevertheless, pretty good news for us.

Not if we still keep losing and Bradford start winning.
Today's game is a MUST WIN game' we are in the relegation struggle, no chance of top 8

Tim Smith has dropped straight back into the Wakefield team and looked a class act with us.

His kicking game was fantastic against London and his distribution made a huge difference to us, Kirmond suddenly looks a lot more like the player he was.

Today against Wigan, Tim Smith has continued to dictate the game, again his kicking game was excellent, he put Kirmond in for another try and scored one himself while also defending very well.

Those two wins have lifted us above Salford having played the same number of games

It was inevitable this would happen. He is a class player when he's happy, but he really didn't settle at Salford at all. For the most part he was totally anonymous. We can't even blame the difficulties of playing alongside Rangi, because for the first 6 weeks (ish) of the season, Rangi was injured and, bar the game down at London, Tim still looked anonymous. A shame really, but these things happen.
