I'm confused, you nearly beat Saints on Monday. Your now playing Leeds at home which has been a kind fixture for you for the past couple of years. You've also been in your best SL form with Leeds nearly been in their worst.

| These games are always tough. When you get sides like Leeds playing in their cup final they often dig deep and find something that little bit extra. Our boys need to somehow get motivated too and get up for this game. It's when you come up against the steady sides you often get caught out. Come on Cas keep switched on, let's not be looking to the cup and Rochdale just yet.

We have not won in 3.
Injury list is long.
You are more a less back to full strength i think.
Your form is better than ours

| Richard Moore - Guilty - fine and one match ban for fighting.
Brent Webb - Guilty - just a fine for him...
No wonder players and coaches want to get back to the NRL away from the administrators of our game.

You can't win a game without props. Huby, Walker and Fozzard missing is too much of a dent in the front row. Snitch can fill in but Huby can't be replaced.
Whinos by 10.

Compare the squads.
Emmitt and Jackson with a young kid in Massey against Leuluai, Cross, Peacock, Burgess, Bailey and Kirke.
We're going to get dominated in the pack and I wouldn't be surprised to see us having to attack from deep. Got to hope that Mr Silverwood is going to be kind to us this week.

I wouldn't be so pessimistic if I were you Fully; if only I could think of an example of a young, inexperienced team of underdogs going up against a supposedly quality side and turning them over, it might make you feel better...
Oh wait!

You didnt have no props though did you?
Had it been say, King and Johnson against Huby, Emmitt, Fozzard, Walker, Jackson and Snitch, I think we'd have beat you.

| Our kids turned over your team a couple of years back. Think we only had 5 or 6 first graders that night. And if anythings been proven this year, it's that the SL is predictably unpredictable.

It's like that for us every week mate - our entire team is made up of misfits, youngsters and cast-offs from other clubs; every win is against the odds.

And that's what makes your victories particularly more heart-warming, I suppose?
The fact that a bunch of players, written off before the season by most, given short shrift are fighting against the odds to prove those doubters wrong, whether it be fans, fellow players or former employees.
I have no doubt that whether Wakefield are in SL or not, some of those players will go on to better things and some clubs will be looking back and wishing they may have given those players a longer amount of time to prove themselves. Mariano and Johnson are two that spring to mind.

Absolutely right - every win feels like a massive two fingers up to everyone who has written us off, particularly certain sections of the RL media, who had condemned us to relegation before the bids were even submitted.
I'd agree on the two players you mentioned - I'd also add Chris Dean and Stuart Howarth to that list; a bunch of lads who have done their future career prospects no harm at all.

| I was trying to lift my good friend Fully out of the doldrums, by offering him an inspirational tale of triumph over adversity!
More obviously on-topic, it looks on paper that the Whinos will have too much for Cas to handle - Leeds by 12.
