This is getting a bit ugly now! I can’t see Sheffield coping with the extra energy that Wakefield Trinity will have in the next 25 minutes

Good solid 1st half from Sheffield but 2 errors have been punished by 12 points. Trinity are dominating but playing too narrow, maybe the plan is to take the energy from Sheffields middles so that they can exploit them late in the game. Personally I’d like to see Wakefield looking for faster play the balls and playing with more width.

My prediction wasn’t far off Wakefield win Bradford 14 v 40 Wakefield Trinity (Tries: Ashurst 2, Rodwell, Hood, McGillvary, Atoni, Olpherts. Goals Jowitt 6)

Maybe you’re right . . . Cas are awful-ish

OH well in that case I was upset when Wally Lewis went home to Australia

Cas are awful

David Topliss to Hull FC Andy Kelly to Hull KR Henry Paul to Wigan Nigel Wright to Wigan Ben Westwood to Warrington Gareth Ellis to Leeds Tom Johnstone to Catalan

Wakefield win Bradford Bulls 16 v 38 Wakefield Trinity (Tries: Walmsley 2, Rodwell, Jowitt, Pratt, Griffin, Hood. Goals: Jowitt x5)

Well with a few days to go yet, Wakefield have sold over 2,500 tickets for the Bradford match

Based on what the new owner is saying and has shown he’s willing to spend, quite probably!

I don’t know what that means? Wakefield have obviously proved themselves credible to McMeekin and they must have shared some as yet unknown info with him to make him confident in the club. Maybe some other signings, new stadia development, state of the art training facilities and truck loads of realistic ambition. They have also probably shared their calculations re IMG but will have reiterated that they won’t be regaining Superleague status on that alone and will be going all out to win the Championship Play Offs, top the Championship League table and win the 1895 Cup!

Wow! Statement of intent or what! Quite a few to follow by all accounts

Terrible news, he was a big powerful athlete and made a great Rugby League centre. its shocking to hear that he’s died so young RIP

As Preposterous says, maybe the design of the new West Stand will change with the advent of the new terraced grill bar at the South end of the Stadium but Matt Ellis will definitely build a new West Stand

I think it’s important to note that these drawings are full of genuine intention to build exactly what’s on them and aren’t some fanciful hypothetical imaginings like some in the past! These WILL get built and in quick time too!

Let’s be straight here, Cas have traded for years on the often described ‘amazing atmosphere at Wheldon Road’ and the fact that just across the Common Belle Vue was much worse than their ground. It’s allowed them to slip through almost unnoticed while the stadium increasingly deteriorated around them. The redevelopment of Trinity’s stadium and the introduction of IMGs grading have stripped away the protections while their fall down the league table has also removed another justification for remaining in SL. Im not ignoring their plight in terms of securing new stadium funding, they’re suffering just the same way that Wakefield did with poor timing, a crashed economy, changed shopping habits and dodgy developers. They have however sat on their hands a little safe in the knowledge that they were competing for play offs and cup comps so we’re safe in SL while knowing if a team was for the chop due to poor facilities, Trinity would fall before them. Not the case now so they’re panicking and doing botch jobs

So don’t read them then! it’s not rocket science is it and you don’t have to take part in the discussion

Like who?

So none then

And which Leigh player was impacted by him being there

It’s a rule but it’s pedantic to the extreme to disallow a try for it when he played no part in the move whatsoever. What happened to referees discretion because that sort of nonsense does the game no favours at all

Is same as, or has anyone shown form or emerged from nowhere to claim a spot? Welsby Young Farnworth Wardle Johnstone Williams Smith Walmsley Clarke McMeekin Whitehead Pearce Paul Smithies Lewis Radley T Burgess Havard

I think the Swinton game a bit as what the championship is all about and many who haven’t watched it for long or played in it don’t quite understand. Nobody goes anywhere and lays down

The quicker the clubs make substantial and permanent improvements to their business models the quicker we’ll get back to on field performances being the most important factor. We have the IMG system because we were in free fall heading for small time oblivion
