We will know a lot more @ Odsil on 1st june.We win that one i would say we would be ok.
But we do not have a great record there,or against the bulls.

I'd rather be in Bradfords shoes... The RFL own the ground and want their rent - If Bulls get relegated the upshot is, they wont be able to pay the rent and the RFL will be sat with an asset that isnt bringing money in. Furthermore, Bradford will be getting some, if not all of their points back - a decision which Ive heard will be delayed until the end of the season, and their points will be awarded back according to how many they need to stay up.

Financially, for the RFL, bradford need to stay in superleague, whereas Wakefield being in superleague makes no odds what so ever.

You can see it now - penalise 6 points, give back 12 points at the end of the season

In all seriousness, I think we ought to forget about any deduction Bradford have and just focus on our own performance. I feel when all are fit we have a better squad than Bradford which should be capable of winning more SL games than they do.... the big question is do we have the application???

Can't believe you'd even ask the question. I'd swap situations with you lot every time.

Really ?
You'd rather support a club that the RFL have a vested interest in keeping in the top flight as opposed to a club that they may actually prefer not to be there, interesting

On the face of it I can see where you're coming from at the moment, I'm not too sure Bradford have got four wins more than us in them. But....If you get four points back that's a different kettle of fish, Bulls heads up, our heads down! Then again if we're in this position when we play Bradford away, if we beat them at Odsal and beat London at home then I genuinely think we can survive.

Would you, really?


We follow a team that has won “Jack All” for a couple of generations, even our most recent major cup final memory was a dull defeat in the C.C (rightly dubbed one of the worst) if you can call 1979 recent .


As opposed to Bradford, with their multi-trophy winning domination & all hardly back in the mists of time.


I’d take Bradford’s plight every day of the week, relegation or no, the memories of seeing your team lift those trophies are priceless, you lot really don’t know how lucky you’ve been in recent decades supporting a successful club.


Don’t get me wrong, supporters of some teams have had it worse than us, but none are in SL, as Wakefield fans we have far the biggest cross to bear of all the professional teams, bar none .
