Given Warrington patchy form, could the unthinkable happen and Wakefield nick 2nd place and give themselves a great chance of their first ever grand final?

Could they? If they finish in the top 5, they "could". It's a possibility.

Will they? That's a different question, as they are nowhere near certain for the top 5, let alone beat bigger, better resourced clubs, at the business end of the season.

Time will tell, but yes, it's possible, however improbable.

I don’t think they can because I don’t think they’d make it through a semi final against either Warrington or Saints.

However this could be their first step on the road toward being in those kind of games which, if they can keep a nucleus of their squad together, could bear fruit in future seasons.

Could work in their favour given that Warrington always bottle the big games whilst Wakefield won’t have that fear

It's a statement of fact that they "can".

As Rodd Studd likes to say "any result is possible, however improbable". That's the beauty of sport at the end of the day.

It's a statement of opinion to say they will/won't.

They can and there is a small likelihood of it happening. Will they? I doubt it

It's probably unlikely, but you never know...

If you'd asked can Catalans win the challenge cup at this stage last year most people would have said no...

One thing we have got, as shown with the win against Leeds and the comebacks against Warrington and Cas is an unbelievable team spirit...something I've not seen in a very long time as a Trinity fan...there's a real togetherness and that counts for a lot...as it did when Leicester City won the Premiership against all the odds the other year...

We're doing it tough at present but if we can hang in there in might turn out to be a blessing in disguise as a lot of our better players will be a lot fresher for the back end of the season....on our day if at full strength I honestly believe we can beat anyone...

What happens if we get near the business end and Saints or Warrington...or both encounter an injury problem like we have at the moment and we were at full strength?

Nothing is ever certain in sport...

Next 3 games all away will be a good indicator.

Win 2 of them and lots of players to come back in the season, they can't be ruled out.

Finish in top 5 and they have more chance than the bottom 7 and that is a 100% certainty.

Warrington don’t generally bottle the semi finals. That’s Saints job.

Don't see why not. P1ssing down September night would be a leveller and both this year's star acts have recent history of not living up to the favourites tag. Not likely but far from impossible. Whether they'd become rabbits in the headlights if they did make the big stage is a moot point.

We've all missed the thinly veiled arrogance of RR though - the assumption that Saints are infallible and that it's a race to see who will meet them at OT.

They may be the best team right now, but as the saying goes "no trophies are handed out at Easter"

Aslong as we don't get anymore injuries and at least get Brough and Miller back sharpish - who Knowsley.

Warrington definitely won't bottle it though, they won't be allowed to with the money they've spent.

I hope Wakey do make the GF, it's in their hands.

Surprised the French fake hasn't put his 2 euro's worth in yet harping on about rat infested ground and shouldn't be in SL

It would be a fantastic achievement from a club that is cutting its cloth accordingly and that has built a very adept squad with few stars but who play collectively. They do have an Achilles heel though, i that if you run them wide, their pack does tire quickly and I thin the summer months will be a real test for them.....but I'd say they are pretty safe for a top 5 finish.

Can they - yes

Will they - who knows, it's only April and none of the 12 teams are even guaranteed a spot in the top 5 just yet
