Wakey will find the above conversation both odd and galling. They still bemoan Chris Chester's recruitment whilst with them but he won 40% of his games in charge of Wakefield; a Win %age that, repeated this season so far, would have seen them presently above Cas & FC and level on points with Leigh (plus Leeds & Hudds). Instead they languish winless after eight games, four points adrift of the peloton.

Since their opening round reasonable home showing against Cats, Wakey have been nilled four times, amassing only 23 points in the seven games - less than 3.3 points per mismatch - and conceded 196 in the process (average 2icon_cool.gif.

In the corresponding seven Leigh games, The Leopards (W3, L4) have averaged 18.3 points scored per match whilst conceding a norm of just over 22pts.

Wakey though have run Salford closer this season than have Leigh.

It's not a given, despite being a gimme.

GIMME!

Small percentage improvement across the park and we will be turning these games into wins, and considering the squad size and the time spent together it’s pretty remarkable.
We are being far too nice around the ruck and allowing our opponents play the ball quick, whereas we are simply rolling away when we are in defensive. Address this along with the obvious of half back/hooker/centre/second row and we “should” be in a comfortable position

Mellor in for me against wakey I really feel we need to go for the kill on this one nothing against Ben but extra attacking options are needed , with o Brian hopefully fit and Zak at centre the attack will flow ( I do prefer Zak as a full back but sad to say chamberlain isn't coping at this level at the minute).Also I would like to see Edwin come on at the half hour mark that would take up to twenty tackles off his workload ,that extra juice in the tank could really damage Wakefield s defence .

Well I’ve just watched Salford Wakey game, and I wish Salford played that badly against us as we would have beaten them. Rowley said they were knackered as our game took a lot out of them. A good win tomorrow is a must.

When did Salford play Wakey?

Ooopps. Sorry I meant CAS. I had been on the drink.
