_{With top 8 sorted, top 4 looking highly unlikely for both teams and all Wakefield eyes on the Cup Semi Final the following week, never has there been such a low key Trin v Cas game.} 

 

_{Be nice to end the regular season on a positive note but who knows how it will go? Who cares?}

Trouble is the next 7 league games after this are exactly the same. This is where the play offs should start. 1v8 2v7 etc. Less league games, then could make time for mid season internationals.

I'll say Wakey by 4, but it could go either way.

I suppose the joy of the remaining Super 8 games for Wakefield, Cas and Widnes will be the opportunities to put a spanner in the works for a couple of the current Top 5 teams.

We're giving a few of our promising youngsters their first team debuts looking forward to seeing them and hopefully not picking up any injuries ahead of next weeks challenge cup semi

Up the Trin

Wakey...the new Saints.

 

(Thanks for that, now going to look at the bookies' odds.)

 

Edit:Looks like they've done their homework, Cas odds on by a bit.

[Old Frightful]

Wakey 10 Cas 0.

 

Sounds already like Cas not at the races.

[Old Frightful]

Fair amount of biff going on at this game.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Once Cas got in front the writing was always going to be on the wall.  At 20-22 Finn's failure to find touch proved to be the nail in the coffin. 

2nd time this season I've got home and on here before the hooter.
