I find it helps to think of England.

Unless Smith is playing games, Anderson is out. He damaged medial ligaments against Sheffield in first minute and didn't come back on.
He is a loss, as he is a great prop for us, in both attack and defence, but we are well stocked in that area.
Scruton and Mullally are great for us. Simon will probably start at 13 as it was very effective against you last time with 5 props. That would mean 2 from Walker, Yates and Kavanagh. They are not Anderson but can hold their own.
Kirmond coming back may influence the prop rotation if Smith decides he doesn't need Simon in the back row any more.

I think our pack is the key to a win for us. Miller and Godinet are great when they have time, and also in broken play but they are not Tim Smith when faced with an organised defence.

I've been nervous ever since I knew we were in this game. I'm starting to get butterflies thinking about it. This is what sports all about. Love it!

As a Cas fan I can sort of understand why you might lay in bed thinking of Keith England, but the equivalent for me would probably be Jon Hamer and I don't think that would help.

Man for man, better team ? You having a laugh ?
If any of the Wakefield pack + Miller and Godinet decide to play to even %50 of their potential, Bradford are in big trouble.

How ridiculous. What does "play to 50% of your potential" even mean?

No point turning up then. Pretty sure every member of the Wakey team should manage at least 50%

We have to play Ryan.

After the way Wakey released him and left him in the dark, I think he has a point to prove and he will take some stopping.

He's had a great couple of games and personally I think he's worth a quota spot for next year. The guy never takes a backward step.

Tell Jimmy. We already know.

That's just what your missus told mine

Exactly my point, I think Ryan can do as good a job as Luaki at prop for the 10-12 minutes he's on.

Change Ryan for Olbison/Blythe/Addy/Pitts

Wakefield are favourites and rightly so I would say. I think they definitely have the edge in the pack so we really need a massive effort from our guys to give our playmakers a chance. Out wide I'd say we might have a bit more pace and skill.

Last time I looked we have 8 start, I'd say that's probably fair.

Wakey are still the favourites. We are massive underdogs. We have absolutely no chance. No point going really.

But we are all still quietly confident - but don't tell anyone! Shush, keep it a secret that we might just win on Saturday.

My heart says Bulls, my head says Wakey, my liver says "Is it ok if you don't have a drink tonight".
