Thu 17th Sept: Wakefield Trinity v Huddersfield Giants KO 3pm (OurLeague)

[John Drake]

Discuss Wakefield Trinity v Huddersfield Giants here.

[davet]

A must win for both teams.

Hopefully our players will be up for it after the departure of Woolford, so going to go for an away for the home by 12pts.

Actually more bothered about us just winning then by any sort of margin.

Why not??  Just means the players can get back home for tea and enjoy Eastenders & Coronation Street then put the kids to bed.

Thanks for this! I saw Thursday and assumed it was a normal evening KO, so I'd have missed the match completely.

[Hughsehhh]

This isn't on tv? Stinker.

Could have been the perfect WFH antidote

So does anyone know the reason, because Sky copped the flak a few weeks back when a triple header led to an afternoon kick off, so what is the reason here? 

Also disappointing that we aren't getting every game covered as we originally thought. 

[Wakey Til I Die]

Wakey by 10.

I guess once Sky decided not to bother, Wakefield figured they might as well save on the cost of switching on the floodlights

So this game is on OurLeague, but only for the season ticket holders of the two clubs. Am I right in saying that any Hudds or Wakey fans who aren't season ticket holders have literally no way of seeing this game live?

Seems an odd approach to not at least offer it for a couple of quid pay per view?

Great way to alienate some 200k+ app users on Our League who have had no content for the last 6 months too. Really thinking long term there.

12-0 to the Giants after 22mins.

Went onto Our League app, would've chucked a euro or two to watch as I'm studying. Could've been a nice test case to see sign ups. Nope. Rugby League...

If this is SLE under Elstone, then we have a big problem. 

Staging a game that only maybe 2 or 3k can actually watch live is just bizarre. 

This is probably the lowest profile SL game ever staged, through our own choice.

[davet]

13-0 Turner drop goal with 1min till HT.

[davet]

HT 13-0.

Sounds like we deserve to be in front, but history recently has proved that means nothing to this Giants team.

Totally embarrassing for the SL hierarchy.

19-0  Gavet with Gaints 3rd try & Sezer converts.

[davet]

Sezer try but misses the conversion.  23-0.

[Man of Kent]

Wakefield really are bobbins.

[davet]

Jake Wardle over & Sezer converts 29-0.

[davet]

Tanginoa starts the comeback.  29-6.
