Wakefield Ram Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Well what could have been our own "Million Pound Game" as a relegation decider has turned into an end of season fixture with no bearing on relegation or play offs. But after two wins, hopefully the boys will want to give Garratt (who's been playing out of his skin), Fleming and most of all Liam Finn a good send off. And hoping our new Media Manager is going to get Liam Finn's last pro appearance all over local media, TV etc.. as it's a great story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being slightly sarcastic,and the remark you heard was more than likely from me and my cohorts....but with one game left,I'd have snatched your arm off to actually be in this position when the season started so I can't be too disappointed with the result on Sunday. it's not the losing (I'm more than used to that watching Batley) it's always the hope that kills you isn't it?
