After seeing Wakey playing Bradford where there tackling was so bad they made Jarrod Sammut look like Sonny Bill Williams at his peak i was really looking forward to this fixture, BUT they have got their act together and have looked a different team in the last two rounds. Giants to win but in a tough battle

It will be a hard fought match, we must not take them lightly, and they are on a decent start too 4 points from 6.

The tackling at Bradford was addressed immediately by Agar and they look a lot better for it.

If our forwards can get on top them I think it will allow us to dominate the game, but we need to take the game on and not expect it easy, I get the impression Anderson will not allow or tolerate this form his team.

We've always actually had decent numbers at Wakey but as most of our fans usually stand down the sides the figure was taken from purely how many we had stood on the terrace behind the sticks, which wasn't very many as our fans were usually down both sides, someone took a picture of the side terrace a few years ago which was literally claret and gold all over to dispell the myth that we only had about 200 there that day - could have been Ponner not sure !

we tried telling the wakey lot for years that our fans were stood down the side but as that wasn't the 'away end' it was always dismissed by them...........as for the game it should be a great battle as i think they have got a very hardworking squad together this year and will upset a few of the big teams.
Looking forward to seeing how we can back Saturday up defensively this week.

Yes I took a photo a few years ago and the side was packed with claret and gold yet the Wakey fans said we'd only taken about 200.

Can you not repost the picture that you took Ponner? just to ram the comment back down their throats.

Got to be honest we normally stand either behind the posts or in the paddock area (when we lost in a monsoon)

No point, even when it was posted they still didnt accept it ....that wasnt the away end so it could have been anyone just wearing something that matched our colours that day or something equally as daft, if there were 35 people wearing claret & gold behind the sticks then that was our support end of !!!!.

And how many people just casually put "maroon" and "yellow" clothes on! Even last year they were claiming we took about 300 when the ticket office sold more tickets than that!

To be fair they had to eat their words last year - even the most anti-fartown ones had to hold their hands up and admit we brought a decent crowd, partially because it was a warm sunny day and a lot of our fans stood behind the sticks to be in the sun so more than usual were visible in that end.

Richard silverwood the man in the middle on Sunday.

Baloney.

We know that the Hudds fans stand near the side, and the reason we admitted you brought a decent crowd was because you did.... the first in many years and it's good to see.

We are better to a man from 1 right through the squad than wakefield. The only player I could say I'd possibly take and swap is kirmond on the bench for cording. But we have been there before and look how that turned out.
Should be a comfortable win but as ever, whenever we go there, I am nervous.

Actually you're not better man for man, what nonsense. Anderson would take Smith, Kirmond as he's playing now, Poore, Aiton and Amor all day long and most would find their ay into your first team so give over.

However you are certainly the better team both on form and on paper, by how much I'd suggest we decide around August. You are far more seasoned as a unit than we are and thus quicker in most aspects of the game. For me you will just be too well organised for us at this point in the season.

I really like the style of play you have adopted, to stuff Saints at their own game - hats off to you.

I'm hoping to contain you, a victory would be great but so long as it isn't a blown out scoreline I'll be happy. You're by far the best team we have played to date and that isn't easy to say.
