15 Aug: Middle 8 - Wakefield Trinity Wildcats v Bradford Bulls KO 3pm (TV)

[John Drake]

Discuss Wakefield Trinity Wildcats v Bradford Bulls here.

[Wolford6]

Well, I'll say 24-27 to the Bulls.

[thundergaz]

Wakey comfortably.

[MrPosh]

I think that this is the first defining match of the Middle 8s.

 

It is Wakefield that both Leigh and Bradford will have as their target and it's the first real SL v Championship match with a real chance of an upset (although Salford could easily lose to Leigh again if they revert to basket case mode - if they don't they should be too strong for anybody).

 

I'll go for Wakey in a tight one. Hope I'm wrong.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Want Wakey but will be lumping a sum on underdogs Bradford. Can't lose really.

[Ant]

C'mon wakey

[Konkrete]

Away win.

 

Note to self:  Don't forget the hand sanitiser

[Dave T]

Fingers crossed for a Bulls win. It would really liven up the Qualifiers.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Bradford by 12.

Its going to be a good match can't wait.

TRINITY FOREVER

[GaryO]

Agree this should be a great game, for me, and because momentum gains speed and winning becomes a habit (unless you shoot yourself in the foot, ala Leigh last week) I am going with the Bulls, expect a good following from Bradford which could be priceless in getting them over the line.

The last 4 or 5 years they've not brought many so hope they bring a few on Saturday should be good atmosphere

Marc Green wrote on Twitter something along the lines of "It'll be nice for Wakefield to see a big crowd this weekend".

The sort of thing that can come and bite you on the backside imo (although not worth getting all frothy at the mouth over but he must have known people would. I wouldn't have written it)

What has gone before is history WCL, this game has a direct purpose and should stir the imagination to want to be there, if Wakéy lose, and as a fan it should not bear thinking about for you, they in my opinion will find it hard to recover and at best could be looking at 5th spot, if the Bulls lose they to will be looking over their shoulder, now who was it that said this jeporday would not create interest?

Can see us losing to Bradford and Leigh next week and still making the million pound match but you never know. We should have beat Salford instead of finishing them off we gave them the match we 're that used to losing we seem to have forgot how to win but we are improving under Smith and getting better week after week.

[Wolford6]

My friend is temporarily discommoded and we need to sit in the stand to watch the game. Wakefield has only supplied the Bulls with terrace tickets.

You can get tickets direct from Wakey either online or phone for the stand or transfer once your in the ground.

I think perhaps that maybe Maximus Green hasn't forgotten the nature of our 'relationship' last season. He's not a bloke to be nobbed about with I reckon.
