And there was cover

How much we betting Sio gets a ban then?

If he'd have not taken his head off he would have been in for a try,the cover only came after he had been slowed down.

Nah!

Not having it!

Loved it.

We made mistakes but we were under pressure from a team constantly off side and niggling in the tackle. It could easily have pushed momentum their way as they defended really well.

We toughed it out and found a way to win. That's remarkable considering where we've been this year.

Brian Smith is saving Wakefield step by step.

After the L Smith dg the camera pans to B Smith and he can clearly be seen saying 'plan' into the mic. Still 12 minutes to go but he knew how to close that game out and the players responded.
That's the difference!!

First half bill topou goes on a rampaging run nearly gets head knocked off twice both ref and linesmen missed it , bloody bind officials!!

That's fine, we all have our opinions.

Good win in the end for Wakey, but both sides were poor for me, hopefully we will win tomorrow and that should help set things up for the 4/5th places, first 3 sewn up with Wid/KR and Salford.

Not having that either



Yet

Widnes haven't been tested at all yet.
I fancy us to beat them at Belle Vue and HKR may have other things on their mind.

Only SL teams to play each other are Salford and Wakefield so everyone else is still in question.

Hee Hee

I think they were for 76 minutes at the Shay.

Think we will do Widnes at home and the other two against fax and Sheffield. The cup could give us a win a kr. The knee to Smith's head was a red. Premeditated contact to the head is a red card in the rules. There could easily have been 2 other yellows as well.

Credit to Leigh for playing some decent stuff and despite our possession, they opened us up regularly.
Unfortunately for them, many of their beaks came from forward passes which were spotted by the officials.

A great effort to win the game and keep Leigh pointless in the 2nd half BUT, what planet was James Child on ??

The number of headshots by Leigh, none of which were punished was unbelievable.

I've never gone in for the conspiracy thing but, he was determined not to give us a damn thing in the 2nd half and credit again has to go to the players for plugging away and finally securing victory.

Job done KR next and they should be beatable, coming off the back of a Wembley trip.

I think 'Fax may not get there but will have a big say in who does.

We did enough to beat a very ordinary side whose main tactics were rough house ones then fling it about aimlessly. It is all they have and now we have a coach who can see that coming we knew how to handle it. But we will have to be a whole lot better in the upcoming games and i still think that we will finish 4th and be in that play off. We will though win it fairly easily.

like wakefield haven't been very ordinary all season, up to buying a new squad for eights, in fact still very poor and will have to save the cash for the next eights so that they can cheat their way through them again. Well done for contributing about 500 fans today super wakey.

Back from the swiller to moan about losing to the SL relegation certainties!
As has been pointed out only 4 players that were in the squad were not at Wakey when you beat us at home earlier in the season.
Jog on son and welcome to the real world of competitive rugby week in week out.

I take it you’re not too impressed with yesterday’s result!

Very ordinary all season, give me a break we haven’t even been ordinary.

Yes, we weren’t that good today, but we still got the result

.

As for the cheating comment – I think it’s time for sleepy byes

.

No comments on the new team then, or the favours from Childs yeah you did get result somehow cos your attacking ideas are very limited, o see you next year propping the rest up again but this time with no home to call your own either.WELL DONE SUPER WAKEY ON BEATING A CHAMPIONSHIP SIDE BY A POINT

Yep thats right. We beat a championship side.

If you had any faith in your team you'd be concentrating in them winning their next 4 which they are quite capable of.

Wow, your dummies just gone flying past my window in Wakefield, Best dummy spit EVER!

Hmm..

Could have and should have been more comprehensive, your team are a disgrace to the game dirty tactics all there to be seen, earlier in the season we would have and did lower ourselves to your standard, yesterdays game we took you in our stride and you were made to look you are a dirty average side that is used to bullying its way through.

As for Child take your red blinkers off he was shocking. As for the new team as you call it can you name the players you mean then and can you refer me to the rules of the game that prevents teams from signing players.

If I were you I would start clutching my worry beads now because al the Championship teams are gunning for you and it wouldnt surprise me to see you finish in 6,7 or 8th place.

We totally dominated you territorially the score is irrelevant other than winning we beat you easy your only tactics other than slowing the ruck, having a go with the dirty stuff is to throw the ball around some of your short passing was appalling to day, before looking for external excuses perhaps you should reflect on the performance or lack of from your team and why that was? Then consider why got no points in the second half, your tactics were garbage. Hope you enjoy reading the match report and cogitate over the highlights.

Bye

Steve, you really think we got favours from Child?


I thought he was rather harsh to us myself.

Hope you are feeling better this morning.
