Nows his chance to make ammends and give something back to the club.

It's going to be very difficult. Without any attacking threat working as a foil for Lomax the defence knows it only has to load up on him and most of our expansive game will be snuffed out. I suppose it underlines the importance of multi-skilled footballers such as Wilkin who can drop into the playmaking positions when injuries occur. It's safe to assume Jon will take on most of the kicking duties and he'll need to find his range early.

A far bigger problem is in dealing with the time when Puletua and Graham are off the pitch. We can't afford to have twenty minute periods away from home where we cannot get out of our own half (during which the opposition is liable to run in one or more tries) so it might be wise to stagger the interchanges between the two so that we can at least have one in the game at all times.

We have a dour record away to Saints. (However, the game aint in Saints is it.)

We lost to a Leed rhino team full of reserves 3 year back (we are a better side now).

There's a still a vast amount of quality in the team you'll put out. I just have a feeling we'll come out all guns blazing and put in an 80 minute performance and win. (had a similar "we will lose" feeling yesterday, threw £10 on it!). So assuming the bookies will give us an 8 start, might be worth a punt!

That's exactly what I am worried about. Nothing like a team caught out for taking vicarious revenge the following week!

Either that or we didn't get out of second gear and got caught with a sucker puch. We didn't give Wakefield the credit they deserved and they punished us. If you stopped calling off our games and actually play us you will see we are a good side you arrogant barsteward. How is Finch going by the way
