They get a lot of stick but Wakefield have won a third of their games, as many as Warrington, and have, probably, ensured survival with today’s win over Warrington. Fair play to Willie Poching, he’s done a very good job there.

A good weekend for us, moving up to 9th.

I do wonder whether Powell letting a lot of his first team know they are surplus to requirements has had the morale boosting effect he might have hoped for?

Just got home, enjoyed the game some good trys from both sides. Think wire have some great players but a few who are just not doing it anymore. Thats the treble over them by Wakey this season. 

Realistic question, with his players and resources how long do you give Powell, surely the Wire boatd must be starting to question his appointment and wondering if it was a huge mistake

Lewis Murphy try saving tackle at 24-24 worth the admission money alone, Warrington looked certain to score and the lad wrapped them up and they lost the ball. Wakefield go up the other end and eventually kelepi tanginoa scores. It was you score we score and we weren’t due to score last but we did and deserved the win.

[Exiled Wiganer]

Some terrific unheralded coaches making their mark this year.

Well done Dave. You, us, Leeds and Wakey fighting to keep away from 11th by the look of it.

Up the Trin

Absolutely to the first part. I wouldn't go so far as nearly safe but I would at least say we're now no longer favourites to go down and certainly not the nailed on certainties I thought we were after Leeds away.

We've led for less than 3 minutes in total over the last 2 games and yet won them both. It's not how you start, it's how you finish!!

Great tackle. 

I like the way Wakefield have let somebody’s great grandad talk about it on the commentary. Sounds like he’s mumbling on about a lovely pair of bluetits that have landed on the birdbath

Wow a lot of money for RL.

[Black Country Wire]

If you'd ever put money on a team taking the lead four times and still losing it would definitely be on Wire at the moment.

Think we could play West Wales at the moment and find a way to mess it up.

Just watching the Murphy ankle tap and subsequent covering tackle on the video posted and there is the evidence for Williams form at the moment. He makes a break and with, two in support, that should have been the game but he chose the wrong option. For me the inside ball is the money ball, supporting player has more room and there's less likely to be players with Murphy's pace chasing back there.

That was my original thought, but I do think the pass inside was an awkward one, with the supporting player a bit away and slightly behind. 

But imho he passed to early. Williams is one of the fastest players in the squad and I think he could have drawn the fullback before passing. That may have still led to the ankle tap being effective, but it wasn't amazing play. I can only assume Williams wanted the three quarters to take it away, which tbf you'd expect 8 out of 10 times. 

But again, we shouldn't ignore the fact that Williams made the break in the first place and the reason we lose is not because of one blown try, it's because we have literally zero backbone and conceded 30 points again versus Wakefield.

tbh, the more i look at that, the more i wonder why wrench didn't go into top gear after receiving the ball, no guarantee he would have scored, but there was no urgency from him.
