Discuss Wakefield Trinity v Hull Kingston Rovers here.

[Cw25]

Wakefield 16-24 Hull KR

[Trojan Horse]

Decimated trinity this week going against KR with a few players back. 
 

Johnstone, Tupou, Taufua, Lyne, Hood, Whitbread, Pitts, Tanginoa, Batchelor all missing. That’s some huge firepower. 
 

kr should probably be favourites but I think I’ll back the trinity players. There seems to be some real resillience lately and willingness to work hard.  

[HKR AWAY DAYS]

As I am now officially unemployed and incredibly happy about it I'm actually going to predict a Rovers win this week. 

[Wakey Til I Die]

Wakey by 10

Haven't 5 of those not available been missing all the time in Wakeys resurgence.

Correct I've no idea why he's posted that as he's totally wrong.

It's not our strongest team but then neither is HKR's so no excuses from me, it should be a Trinity win if they show up with the right attitude.

[Northern Eel]

Whitbread is a big miss, but with both halves currently firing on all cylinders, Wakey will probably just sneak this one.

Probably but the additional loss of Hood, Tanginoa and Whitbread just removes a bit more of the glue that's been holding Wakefield together.

Think you can add Batch to that list 

[Northern Eel]

20 mins in. Flat as ‘owt both on and off the pitch. 

[Northern Eel]

Rovers in from close distance. 6-0, 30 mins. Still dull. 

[Northern Eel]

0-6 HT. Rovers down to 12 with a sin-bin but Wakefield bomb two chances.

One thanks to Miller having his head nearly taken off.

Murphy has just nearly had his career ended by a blatent spear and the ref puts it on report. FFS!

Wakefield hit the front. Another tremendous finish from Murphy! 10 left.

Jowett in, Fifita converts the two and the Rovers fans head for the gates.

Brilliant stuff!

Thanks to Big Dave, Tiny Arona and anyone else leaving at the end of the season!

Get Murphy on a lucrative 6 year contract because they’ll all come looking to take him

[Agbrigg]

Trin have really pulled it around these last few games , good win again tonight. Yes Murphy is a fsntastic winger, but think Kershaw is a bit of an un sung hero. Took his try well and the work he does on first second play is massive.

Final point above wire in the table. Poor old Phallus Tweed

Honestly couldn't believe what I'd just witnessed when the ref signalled that he was putting that on report. The entire crowd saw it OK, what were the officials doing?

Kershaw my MoM tonight. Fully agree on his worth.

Now heading for the delights of mid table obscurity which I could but fantasise about earlier in the season. Can enjoy the rest of the season now, both Wakey's remaining games and the battle for play offs, super league title and the world cup. Wasn't the best quality game but a hugely gutsy performance from Wakefield. Thought the ref had a decent performance overall but oh my goodness where was he looking when Lewis Murphy was dumped on his neck. It was a straight red any day of the week and I don't think he was even going to give a penalty at first. It's not a good look for the game when such talented players get so little protection. Same player was victim of an awful spear tackle against Catalans which remarkably only led to a yellow and an incredibly lenient 2 match suspension.
