The Fev/Wakey game has been very entertaining.

I'm not sure Willie Poching will agree, he's probably had his head in his hands for most of the game.

Cas 66-12 up with 10 left at Doncaster.

True wakey’s discipline is poor. It looks as if Gaskell has hurt his hand.

Fev 22 Wakey 18, full tarm.

Costly friendly for Wakey with Craig Copczak off injured and didn't return, hope he's okay.

Kopzcak's a Fev player. Agreed he'll be a loss for us if out for any period of time. 

Decent for us in spells, I'd be broadly happy with that as a performance for a pre season runout. Wakey look poor, and on that showing it's going to be a long season for them.

Oldham 24 24 Wakefield Trinity entertaining match last night.

Jeez, apologies, I think my concentration may have drifted when I posted that!, thanks for correcting me.

Assume Wakey have been playing mix and match this weekend?

Pretty much first choice team at Fev this afternoon, so I'd assume reseves/academy v Oldham last night.

I'm struggling to see what he offers a professional RL team tbh.

He made a solid contribution for Fev last year, he's a perfectly reasonable option at this level.

[RBKnight]

Thought Wakefield looked cumbersome and off the pace today, and that Fev were well worth the win.

Real contrast to watching Castleford at York last week, where Cas's top line shredded the Knights' defence in the 1st half with sharp play-the-balls, injections of pace and good handling.....

Huddersfield beat Batley 50-6 

Tries: Yates, Fages (2), Cudjoe, McQueen, L. Senior (2), I. Senior, Ashall-Bott

Tries: Hodson

Goals: Gilmore

Fev we’re a long way off being the finished article. Decent run out, hope we click a bit more next Monday.

Wakey were absolutely dire. If that’s their first choice 17, they’re in for a year of pain. 
 

Quite enjoying messaging my Wakey supporting mates tonight

[Phil W]

Thunder lost 12-42 to an impressive Wigan side. Patrick Mago will be fun to watch for Wigan fans! 

As for us, we had a few missing, we battled well in the second half, Boafo looks a good signing for us.

Only a couple of notable first teamers missing by the looks of that. Good win for Fev.

For those who missed it tries at FEV

Thanks for that, my main observation from those "Trylights" is the extremely poor one in one tackling by both teams, Wakefield will be facing better players than Fev put out there in the season, Fev not so much but it must be a concern for both coaches.

Not for FEV  H we stood up and tackled wakey out of the game and it was only the last try after four back to back sets did we drop off the tackle for most  of game wakey didn't look like scoring
