[Old Frightful]

Westerman knocks on.

I don't believe it.

[Old Frightful]

Ben Currie now drops the ball, Wakey breathe a collective sigh of relief.

2 1/2 mins left.

[Old Frightful]

Penalty for ball steal to Wakey given away by Ratchford after ref calls held.

[Old Frightful]

Wakey go for the goal kick.

If it's good then they have a minute or so when they receive a Wire kick off to hope they don't make an error.

I'd be tempted to kick it wide deliberately.

Goal good.

28-22.

13 seconds left.

Johnstone catches the kick off, game over.

[Scubby]

It's over. Well done Wakey - great win after a difficult week!

3 of the top 4 turned over. A good weekends rugby.

Just Hull FC letting the side down as usual.

Keeping the European dream alive.

[Agbrigg]

Wakey dug in and held on but too close for comfort and not good for my old ticker

Bet wire cant wait to see the back end of their coach and arrival of Powell. 

[Harry Stottle]

Well done Wakefield, looking forward to seeing the highlights.

I wonder what are the thoughts of Chris Chester? It is not as though there has been a radical change in personel or time for different tactics to sink in, maybe his face just did not fit with the player's any longer.

Have you not watched Westerman before?

Maybe the new coach has already made it clear who he thinks is stealing a wage packet.

 Rather obviously I have.

However, it was still an amazing error given that Wakey only had to keep possession to win.

Then again, it was Westerman...so you're right and I'm talking ball locks.

Maybe he isn't just isn't dull as dish water and out of his depth.

The results of this round have turned out well for Catalans, but they must be very aware of the likely reaction to this defeat by the Wire, unless Price is losing the plot as it would seem that Chester had; but I don't think Price is.

Meanwhile, Cas -v- Wakey in the next round has added spice (if that pairing ever needs it!), with both celebrating against-the-odds victories in this round.

[Scubby]

Congrats to Willie Poaching. He's been around in the background for a number of years - deserves to get a shot at one of the main jobs!

First complete round of fixtures for quite some time too.

[ELBOWSEYE]

Well done wakey, from a Warrington point of view it seams price struggles to prepare for teams were they were favourites to win as all drop points have been against teams lower in the league and have yet to lose against Wigan, Saints and cats. 

[Hela Wigmen]

When was the last time Saints, Wigan and Warrington lost in the same round? That can’t happen often.

If only we played like this all the time! Great try.
