I would try & keep Bailey, King & Cox as replacement props all are relatively cheap on the Cap & do a good job as replacements for injury etc. But I don't think we will be able to keep Dodds with Cooper coming back. The enigma is Ben Harrison and where he will fit in, he wont get a back row spot with Ben C, Jack Hughes, Joe W & Benjamin all in front of him. Also Sam Wilde will be a year older and better.

Who have I forgotten??? I always forget someone

With the amount of players on that list in front of him, he may well have to move on for regular game time. Think his contract is up at the end of the year...?

Ben Evans

I think, whatever happens between now and the end of the season, this year has been a success.

We've improved on last season, we've had some record crowds and we've got a better team.

Surely there's optimism for a few years to come!

i think the crowds have tailed off in recent weeks, happy to be proved wrong, it may be down the tv night matches but attendances seem a bit down and i'd say the enthusiam of the start of the year has diminished somewhat. Even the bells and whistles of matchday seems to have gone a bit flat now after a good start.

A better year by far this year than last, what ever happens from now on in. The young lads did us proud, but, due to injuries and a bit of poor planning or over confidence we were over reliant upon them IMO.

This year we have more strength in depth across the park and we seem to have a younger outfit in many key positions overall

It's definitely better than last year and we're certainly in.a better position squad wise.

One thing that's similar to almost every year is us losing games were expected to win comfortably, and a period of poor form. I know injuries play their part but I cannot help but feel we've squandered our fantastic start. But onwards and upwards!! We can still go on a good run and build momentum and confidence going into the super8s n playoffs.

With a pinch of luck some self belief and top draw performances we can still win all the bits of silver this year.

The treble is still up for grabs and is still achievable for the Wolves,Hull FC and Wigan

On your day both the Wolves and Hull FC are fantastic and can rack up a big number on any side in SL
But when your both off you can lose matches that should be your bread and butter wins and the ones that stack up the league points

Wolves have lost games/Points in the last 8 rounds against sides that they should have picked up wins in at:
Wildcats (A)
Tigers (H)
Hull FC(H)
and drew away at Hull KR
IMO Wolves should have won each of these games and if they had of done they would have amassed a further 7 points

In the meantime Wigan have been steady away and haven't broken any pots thus far this season but the worrying thing for you guys is that we know how to win these winnable games,Wigan had a recent run of 6 consecutive away games and won them all

Wigan's last away defeat was against Warrington & their last home defeat was against Hull. The only game they have looked very good was against Catalan.

Why are we looking towards next season when this one is just starting to get serious? And a trophyless season for this group of player will not be a success. The pessimist in me thinks hull are nailed on for the cup and wigan will pip us to the big one. And then we'll all start talking about next year and have the mickey rightfully taken out of us by opposing fans. Let's get the bloody grand final won and get the monkey off our back.

Is this the same Wakefield team that beat you 62-0? I agree that in some of those games we should have done better and didn't - you might notice a theme on this board of being disappointed even when we win - but I think you might need to check your bias if you're going to make judgements like that
