Discuss Warrington Wolves v Wakefield Trinity Wildcats here.

[Gates1]

Warrington by 30+.

[Sco77]

I agree. Can't see anything but a heavy loss for Wakey I'm afraid.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Warrington to have a nice peaceful day at the office by 24+

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Betfred have Warrington 1/14 for a straight win.  Just about sums it up. 

[CiderWire]

Smith v Smith. I think team Tony will win this one but not by a country mile. Wire by 12

[latchford albion]

Listening to this on Radio Leeds and from their commentary Wakefield are the better team - it's just that Warrington are 24 - 6 up against the run of play at half time.

[latchford albion]

They have conceded that Clarke's playing well though.

[CiderWire]

34-16 to Wire final score. Apparently Gidley and Sandow ran the show. Anyone got any info?

[latchford albion]

Gidley went off with suspected concussion; apparently Wakefield targeted him in defence all match and he made about 50 tackles.   Sandow kicked out on the full from the kick off, but after the penalty Wakefield coughed up the ball and Currie went 60 metres to score.  After that it sounded as if Sandow had another good game. Penny, Clarke and Russell were singled out by the commentators.

 

10,631 there.

Cheers LA

[Futtocks]

Reports suggest that Gidley will miss next week's match, due to concussion.

[ELBOWSEYE]

Looks like he will be replaced by ratchford and if dodds comes through the reserve game he will be in the 19

[Dave T]

Looks like Sandow starting to win the fans over. Everything seems to go through him and Gidley.

[getdownmonkeyman]

Wakefield looked to move the ball quickly, whilst targeting Penny with high kicks on the last. They have a real flyer on the left; Johnston(?), who was did a lot of work. Finn directed them well.

Warrington appeared to underestimate Wakefield, trying to pull off passes that we're never really available. The word I would describe Warrington's passing would be 'sloppy'

Silverwood ran the show.

 

The loss of BJB at fullback really left us a bit sluggish defensively, especially on the kicks, at the back.

Pre-match tribute to Viola Beach.

Sandow is gonna be man of steel, I can feel it, he's borderline electrifying at the moment

As Tony Smith said, he's a different man, both physically and mentally, this year.

[FullFat]

It was a very sloppy game from both sides. The ref laid his stall out on penalising the ruck and standing square at the ptb and the players never adapted. I have to say Wakefield look a vastly improved side from last year and really gave it a go but Warrington were always in control and able to click through the gears when needed. Best for Wire were Clarke, Sandow and Gidley. Worryingly they let Wakey and Finn especially work the overlap really well. Both sides gave too many penalties away and coughed up possession regularly with wayward passes and dropped balls.

A win is a win but big improvements needed for next week at Salford.
