| The latest available odds are;
I'm actually shocked. I assumed that Wakey would be massive favourites but the bookies are only just favouring them and we are an average of a miserable 2/1.
So the bookies now see this as a very tight game indeed. Anyone who genuinely believes we have no chance against a SL team should absolutely lump on at 4/9 as that's an incredible price for a certainty.

If any of the Wakefield pack + Miller and Godinet decide to play to even %50 of their potential, Bradford are in big trouble.'"
Our pack bullied Salfords a few weeks ago... O'Brien controlling the ruck... Gaskell and Mullaney out the back... Plenty of skill on pace in the fringes... As I said, if we turn out with the right attitude I feel we will edge out Wakey.
Certainly wouldn't claim it to be easy by any stretch but turning up 50%?? I hope that's the attitude your guys turn up with

| No Clare or Caro. I assume Blythe will play on the wing then?

| Only 1 winger named and no obvious cover for Jacobs Mullaney...
Although if the past few weeks have said anything there may be changes to the 19 man squad named.

That seems certain, although an outside bet may be Purtell or Nielsen to sure up the defence out wide? With Baile or Ryan coming in at centre?

| So power and defence at the expense of out and out pace? Lowes has told us very clearly what sort of game he's expecting. Presumably as a Wakey fan said earlier we will aim to match them physically and in so doing stifle the abilities of Godinet etc.

| Well that's surprised me. Thought we would need a bit of pace out wide but defence is obviously a concern for Jimmy. I reckon it will be Blythe in the centre with Nielsen on the wing. Nielsen no slouch and has played on the wing but I can hardly see him backing himself on the outside. In fact, I don't think I've actually seen him run forward yet?

| So Jimmy's philosophy was: Hmm, I can't decide whether to play Blythe or Ryan. I know, I'll just stick one of them on the wing!

| Ryan will probably get Blythe bench spot.
Notice there's no Lee smith for Wakey. Another player who had a good game against us last time out.

| If we don't beat that Wakey squad, we don't deserve to go up.

I think that goes without saying ha
Just to add, I think Nielsen played on the wing in one if the Grand finals? I know that he's played many times there anyway so no lack of experience.

| Surprised to see Lauaki retain his place after being an utter liability against Leigh and having zero impact against Fax. Expect Wakey to gain easy yards as he gives away another couple of soft penalties.
