Ian Shirk the x Wakey plodder in charge of conditioning.

As I can't get to Leeds tomorrow night I will have to watch it on Sky

As Eddie Hemmings has spent most of his working life with his tongue up Sir Sinfields rectum and simply can't wait to continue, I will turn the sound down.

Tonights results make tomorrows game extremely nervous for fans and players.

If I was a Wakey player, I would be relishing the chance to condemn our rich neighbours to the middle 8's with a win against them.

So would I but I’m not sure it will happen. We have lost too many games by a close call and I’m not sure we will have the confidence to win this. I will be more than happy to be proved wrong

Exactly, Chester's team tampering has absolutely killed us this season.

Can't see anything but a Leeds win tomorrow.

I did say how unfit Leeds were and I've just seen an interview with Liam Watts where he confirms this. He more or less says they knew Leeds would fall away in the final 20 minutes and they did.
I can't see one weeks training making that much difference to their fitness.
If you can keep in touch score wise going into the final quarter you should win ok.

Agreed. I posted something similar last week on the VT. Leeds were shot come half time. If you can stay with them and be within a score or 2 at the break you’ve got a decent chance of the win. I couldn’t believe how unfit they were. Most of them were blowing out of their a**e after 20 mins. Good luck tomorrow night.

I disagree.

We have been saying all year that we want a settled half-back pairing. We had one, Finn and Miller, the one that served us so well last year. It never quite got going again, perhaps one season too long for Finn, so he has to try something he wasn't expecting to try. He tries again, but still not quite going like last year, so once more he tries something new. It's hard to criticise Chester for trusting what went so well last year, and it's hard to know whether someone is not quite what he was until games start proper.


If he had ditched the Finn and Miller combo from week one, to get Hampshire and Miller to gel, people would have been for his head for that, because he'd have ditched the winning formula. On a hiding to nothing.


At worst, it's just turned out Finn has lost some pace, and we've had to readjust.

Dissagree finn been shot since start of season hampshire plays and the team looks better what happens finn comes back till he sees finn not on ball again so hampshire back in results and performances improve again so finn comes back and what more bad games
