1 Sept: SL: Wakefield Trinity v Wigan Warriors KO 3pm

[John Drake]

Discuss Wakefield Trinity v Wigan Warriors here.

[paul hicks]

cant remember the last time I wanted Wigan to win a game  but as a Leeds supporter I look around the bottom end of the league and a Wakefield loss would take a bit of pressure off Leeds 

[Manfred Mann]

London desperately needs Wigan to win this one. However London will need to beat Leeds if this game is to matter to them.

[Exiled Wiganer]

I hadn’t realised but Wigan brought back Matty Peet earlier this year to work on the defence and also have a new fitness team in place. I am guessing that the hiatus and chaos was because we were envisaging Edwards bringing in his team. Certainly, we look fitter and tougher to beat now than at the start of the year. We have often found Belle Vue to be a graveyard, but I fancy us to prevail for once this week end, especially now Trinity’s win against HKR makes this less of a must win for them. 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Always fancy our chances against the pies regardless of who's reffing.  Pity we have no Fifita as he's been a real thorn in their side recently.

You have to go for the current form team of the comp, I just hope we can keep it close.  Bonus would be Hull FC, Catalans and Leeds helping us out elsewhere.

[Wakey Til I Die]

Escaré to prove a point to Wigan on their bogey ground. Wakey to nick a tight one by a couple of points. 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Wigan by 18.

I agree totally; a different side defensively no to what they were not so long ago. Mind you the young forwards that have been brought in, Partington, Byrne and Smithies seem to relish in defensive work.

C'mon Wakey!

Now Wakey are safe from relegation i think they will win this by 10 playing some attractive Rugby

None of the bottom four are safe.    After this set of fixtures maybe things will be a bit clearer.  A Leeds win v London will perhaps reduce the probabilities.

 

[andyscoot]

Belle Vue has been a banana skin for Wigan recently with them giving us some right pastings at their ground. It's a big fixture for them if they want a favourable play off spot.

[OMEGA]

Bringing back Matty Peet was a masterstroke, with so many juniors playing the team it’s important to have someone who knows them well. Matty knows their strengths, weakness, what motivates them and what affects their performances but most of all those players know Matty and respect him.

[WakefieldCityLoyal]

Wigan are the form team at the moment, can’t see the mighty Trin beating them.  Hope we give it a go though.

Up the Trin 

[Old Frightful]

If Hull FC can win at Wakey then I doubt the Pies will have too much trouble there. I hope not obviously but, like the Chronicler, I fancy Wigan by three clear scores at least, sorry Trin fans.

Waky 14 Pies 28.

Up the Trin!

 

[Father Ted]

Lam's suggesting in his interview that Joe Burgess is back but Sam Powell hasn't trained all week through a back injury. Guesses are he'll move Leuluai to 9 and Beven French into the halves.

 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Good contingent of Pie fans here at  sunny Belle Vue already, in expectation of an easy win no doubt.

Liam Finn out on the pitch at present.   Are we that desperate.

What's it doing there and how did they manage to park the bloody thing in the stand?

[Old Frightful]

Liam Farrell try ruled out for forrerd pass.

Even I could see that.

[Old Frightful]

Repeat set for Wakey.

[Old Frightful]

Another repeat set for Wakey.

Burgess over but on his back, Wakey escape.

90 metre interception try for Wigan.

Hull game all over again.

[Old Frightful]

Liam Marshall the beneficiary.
