It's hard to resent Cas - they deserve the success they've had this season and they've been one of the most attractive teams in SL to watch. They'll have a job on maintaining it next season with key players on the way out, but Powell has been a revelation - if anyone can, he can.

Agree with everything you say there Bren but i think this year more than ever its been proved how much difference a good coach makes. Powell at Cas, Webbo at Trin and Jimmy Lowes at Dulls have all made great improvements. The last two with basically the same players as the previous coaches

Cas have enjoyed a fantastic seaon - we would kill for it and I congratulate them on it.

For me, the love-in relationship - highlighted this Sunday with most of the power base of WMDC at the ground - with the council is just too much - until they stump up over either NM or BV.

I want us to win on Sunday a) because it could possibly keep the top 8 alive going into the last weekend and b) because we love to hate them - its what locally rivalry is about and I want that memory to take us through the off season!

agreed.
and c) because it'll probably sell a few more season tickets

Them finishing 1st and us finishing 8th are mutually exclusive, but similar probability. Win both games and the rival team lose both theirs, plus make up some points difference.

The question is: who wants it most??

It's a must win for Cas. Not just to finish top but to finish second too. If you beat us, Huddersield will leap frog us and also either Wigan or Leeds. With a loss the highest we can finish will be 4th. With a loss at Catalan too we will finish 6th.

So we won't be resting any players. Our best/non injured 17 will be playing.

Should be a very large crowd Sunday with it being local derby, us going for top, you going for play offs and final home game of the season. (Will get a home play off tie definitely) looking forward to it.

Obviously concede that Cas have done amazingly well and it is refreshing to see a new face at ' the top table'.
But childish though it is , at the age of 63, I too have no love for them and do not wish to see them win anything.
Simply because I am Trinity through and through, and my one desire is to see us as top dogs in the Wakefield district.
This feeling is accentuated by the outright favouritism towards them by our political 'leaders ' in this area.

And we have a winner!


My thoughts entirely, apart from the 63 bit, I'm much younger than that.

+1

+2 (66)

Agree with that entirely - obviously with a Cas Tigers point of view. I would hate to see WTW have any success whatsoever. Oh, a knock 20 years off for me please as well.

I don't mind Cas doing well, I just wish we were better than them.

We can't complain PopTart - everyone had both Tigers and Wakey down for bottom 2 or 3. We've both had good seasons so far and should celebrate that on Sunday.

Spot on, as much as I'd like to go on Sunday I would sooner chop off my hands' than put them in my pocket and give them my hard earned, as for the 63 bit I'm even younger than JINJER

sound like an arm chair fan to me I don't like paying in to your ground but I do every year.

Why penalise yourself by not going to see your team in what could be a very close and entertaining game ?

I've never understood the attitude of Wakefield fans refusing to go to Cas and vice-versa. It's my favourite away game of the season. I'm even bringing a mate along from Windsor on Sunday so that's another one paying in. Hoping it's going to be a cracker after our last two one-sided meetings!

Cas is usually the only away game I go to. Feeling cautiously optimistic.

Ours are generally , London, Catalans and Manchester, take what you will out of that.

I'd just love it if I could have my own armchair down at the Rapid Solicitor's Stadium every home game, I have not been to Cas since that night we beat you 18-0 and had to suffer those disgusting confrontations' with alleged Cas fans' and if I'm honest I would not go there for free never mind paying. HTH

yeah ok.

Not been watching Wakey as long as most on here, but I must confess to seeing the odd very close and entertaining game involving the Trin so nah I don't feel that I am penalising myself.

Fair do's.

I'll be there. Not managed many away games this year but the father in law is up from Felixstowe and he loves his league so will be taking him along

You bugger, younger than JINJER, you cut the ribbon on the opening of stonehenge

I, like hundreds of other Wakey fans, will be there on Sunday. One away game I try never to miss. Result never a foregone conclusion regardless of the current form of either side.
