You don`t have to worry about your pack getting beaten up, we have 2 out and out props in our 19 in Anthony England and Keegan Hirst. Yes we are missing Fifita but the big miss tonight for me will be Craig Kops who has been our most consistent forward this season. I expect Pauli and Tanginoa will make up the numbers in the front row for us tonight.

The response you quoted was to how many minutes "Per Game" was SOL playing - Whilst the number of games Flower plays is currently an issue at least when he does he plays 45/55 plus regularly if not more.
Clubb's game time is very poor when he does play which impacts us more when he does play as we regularly only get 15/25mins

Just after I posted the first time around, I got a notification on my phone from twitter saying that Fifita had replaced MCB in the 19 man squad. Whether he will play or not is another matter, it all seems a little strange being that he is supposed to be out for 4/5 weeks.

| Looking at our team I wouldn’t expect a resounding victory when you compare it to Wakefield’s team. That being said I do think we will still win.
Most exciting for me is the debut of Ethan Havard. I’ve never seen him play personally so I can’t comment on his ability or potential but from what I’ve read and heard he is a superb player with huge promise.
Havard, Smithies, Partington and Smith look like they’re going to be pivotal for us in 3-5yrs time.
I’m not too impressed that Sammut is in but equally I realise there’s not much choice.
I can’t help but feel that if we are going to make the play offs, which given our start and current injury status will be a minor miracle in itself, that it is imperative we get the win tonight.

Jeez, going off this start I’ll be made to look a little silly come full time!
Wakefield look like they can’t be bothered whilst GW and Powell are having a field day.

By an absolute country mile. Everyone went well tonight IMO. I just wish we’d have turned up like this v Saints.
Take this now into the Hull game

Yes far exceeded my expectations tonight. I was hoping that we might squeak out a win but I never imagined we'd get there by that margin.
If we're to finish 3rd and have an outside chance of winning it we have to beat Hull in a fortnight. Biggest game of the SL season for us by far.

| Great win for us tonight, thought Sammut ran the show in the middle which gave us direction and took some pressure off Williams.
Farrell was class great to have him back. Powell is playing like he's been given a new lease of life. Sarginson, Hankinson & Isa solid again and big wraps to the young lads in the forwards who bettered a bigger pack tonight.
Cant fault any of them. Yet again whilst we all whinge about Fifita I'd have him in our team tomorrow (been saying this for the last five years), he would be unstoppable with better players around him.

Same, as you may be able to tell from earlier posts! Wakefield just didn’t show up and we were ruthless in attack and defence. The proof in the pudding is only missing 1 tackle in the first half and only 8 overall and making over 600 more metres in attack. We fell off a bit in the 2nd half but realistically we were never in danger of losing after running up a 34-0 margin so that can be forgiven easily.
I agree re Hull also, it’s a huge game for us and for me, similar to the Saints game, a major statement-making game. To finish in the play offs after the start is an achievement, to finish 3rd with a very real shot at making Old Trafford and a Grand Final win would almost certainly trump the Leeds win from 5th in my own very biased opinion.

| When I looked at the age of our pack I thought Farrell and Isa have to have big games tonight for us to have a chance and they both did.
We went full throttle from the off and they were unable to cope. They responded in the second and we switched off a bit but very pleased overall.
I’ve watched us a lot of times this year and felt the bounce of the ball was against us, it was quite nice to see the reverse of that for a change.
2 weeks rest & bring on Hull.
