This is avery interesting place, what score would you have predicted if those 2 were playing?

I`m not too sure you get my point do you, as a Wakefield fan, the majority of the time we seem to lose the games we are certainly expected to win and whenever we seem to have very little chance in a game we come away with the win a lot the time hence my comment.

To answer your question, I think we would have a better chance of winning with Tupou, Johnstone and Kirmond in the squad yes. A 10 point win was something I was throwing out there as I think we will win against the odds and have given a figure?

I dunno, there are exceptions to the rules - stick Catalans best four players in the team (whoever they are) and they are still nothing.

If Warrington play anything close to their best they'll utterly wipe the floor with Wakefield who aren't really all that good and even struggled to see off a very poor Catalan side in a hugely dull game the last time I seen them play.

I am hoping that Warrington give the other mob a good old hiding. Wakefield are overrated. Take out David Fifita, William Tupou, Thomas Johnstone, and Daniel Brough and you will find that Wakefield are nothing.

Good god, man. Take 4 key, first choice players out of any team in the league and they'd struggle. It's nearly a third of the starting team.

More restrained than usual. He must be in a good mood. Favourite lessons at school today maybe?

You're absolutely right, I didn't get your point, and I'm not sure I do now.
Are you saying that with Tupou, Johnstone and Kirmond in your team you expected to lose, but with them out you expect to win?

When Wakefield go into a game as favourites, they usually blow it spectacularly. A game like tonight where it looks like we could be on the end of a hiding, is the kind of game where we'll put in a performance, and either win or come very close to winning.

To put it in simple terms, the underdog tag suits us better than the favourites tag.

We love you Jonno

Yes, the game against Catalan wasn't the best but, apart from the Injuries to Johnstone and Toupu, Trinity did ok last week and the try by Hampshire was pure quality:
