It always makes me cringe when people say that [insert humourous person] could have played. The difference between the top and the bottom is not that wide. Its not like Wakey are a pub team. We need to learn to be able to win without Peacock, this is true, but in a game where you are missing up to 4 people who would have come in for him is not the time.

For 30 minutes of that game, Wakefield looked every bit as good as Wigan did the week before. For the rest of it, they looked every bit the pub team you were referring to.

Of course hindsight is a wonderful thing, and with that it would have been better allround had Peacock and Cutherbertson missed the game, and I am sure they would have had we won last week. However, with the situation we found ourselves in, I agree on the point that there really wasn't much choice.

I take your points on board, I wasn't for one minute saying playing peacock was gonna determine our season clearwig, so I'm not sure what you're getting at there..... It could well effect Thursdays points though,
And with Wigan and saints playing each other it's a very good week to be picking up the two.

When you put 'insert humorous name' eagle, let's be fair its only funny because we haven't seen what's Yates can do, he hasn't had the minutes, yesterday was a perfect opportunity. Big difference to yesterday and when we played London last year, we played way too many kids against London, so having Yates play in a team yesterday that was still relatively strong despite the players we were missing wouldn't have made that much difference, and you never know, peacock could of got some well earned rest and Yates may have turned a few heads in the process, all ifs and buts, but it is something I think would benefitted the team more in the grand scheme of things.

I thought Yates played yesterday.

He did....................
