It's very winnable for Wakefield but we've been here before.
To me the game will hinge on confidence.
Leeds have all their big guns out for this one. After all the talk of injuries we are missing more of our starting 17 than they are.
Saying that they are still lacking form. If we give them a reason to grow in confidence they could slam us for 30 points. If we play like we can and goal line defense is strong we should walk it.

My money is on a Wakefield win but in reality we won't know until that first 10 minutes.

Leeds' form would suggest a WT win - but we all know by now that our results are impossible to predict based on form; we must be a gamblers worst nightmare.

I reckon the first 20 minutes will be telling - we'll know by then if we have the measure of them; or if, as is our wont, we're set to provide the confidence boosting win for a team that hasn't previously been able to buy one.

Exactly bren. Something we are very good at doing, unfortunately

Yep, we've always had the knack of giving the opposition a boost, whatever form we or they are in. Leeds have lost their last 8 is it? They're due a win and I can see us giving them it, on a plate.
