Which is perfectly fine and come game day they will no doubt have everyones full support. Bit in the meantime i think its fair to discuss why certain players aren't playing and why is it they seem to not want to play for us?

And for what its worth i think that team still has the edge over Bradford, especially in the forwards. That should allow Miller and Godinets running game to flourish with quick ball. Wakey by 8.

I'll go

Jowitt
Toupou
Lyne
Arundal
Johnstone
Miller
Godinet
Scruton
Sio
Mullally
Kirmond
Washbrook
Simon

Walker
Yates
Lauitiiti
Annakin

Moore & Tansey to miss out. Washbrook to cover 9 whilst Sio has a breather, Tupou to switch to the position he has played most of his first grade career in and Mullally to start to get us on the front foot from the get go. Gone for a big bench as i think the forwards is where we will win the game.

That is probably the weakest looking squad we could possibly field. All becuase the club wanted to take the moral high ground despite there being only one game left.

I thought Moore sustained an estimated 3 month recovery biceps tendon injury about 2 months ago? He's done well then

I know what you are saying Wilzay but as said above I'd rather have people up for the fight.
If Smith doesn't come back to a meeting to talk about the incident, claiming anxiety, he is hardly ready for this kind of game.

The only ones missing through moral high ground is Smith and Locke.
I'd have liked to see Lee Smith back but everyone has been calling for the young kids to be given a go and Jowett is pretty handy if you ask me.

It's all a matter of being up for the game.

I think the big misses are Anderson, Ashurst & L Smith with Molloy close to being included in that group.

I totally agree with the action taken by the club in sacking, Locke & T Smith, I don't understand how Reece Lyne survived but I don't have all the facts.

I would love to have seen us with a fit Ashurst on the left and a fit Kirmond on the right but hey ho, we still have a good backrow.

I've heard on the grapevine and through one or two TV pundits that Bradford are going to keep it very tight. If they do that I think they're playing into our strength and the area we have the advantage.

I think we've got a hell of a lot more pace in the team compared to last time we played Bradford. With Godinet much faster than T Smith, Jowitt & Johnstone both faster than the players they've replaced.

I'd go with
Jowitt
Johnstone
Arundel
Tupou
Lyne
Godinet
Miller
Scruton
Sio
Mullally
Washbrook
Kirmond
Simon

Lauitiiti
Walker
Yates
Annakin

Lee Smith missing with his big game experience is a mistake if not injured. As already said been prolific try scorer and very good kicker. He should have been in centre with Jowitt at full back.

I said in another thread Anderson going off after 5 mins against Eagles I thought he wouldn't be playing. Not suggesting it's not a genuine injury but got disciplined then gets injured after 2 hit ups with the ball, bet he's not with Trinity next year. Hope there is a performance in all of them....

He damaged his knee ligaments. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't do that on purpose.
"Not suggesting it's not genuine but......." is pretty much suggesting it's not genuine.

I cannot believe what I am reading that team however you juggle it is poor. An honourable defeat is still a defeat, I am struggling to come up with a worse team. It is that bad that you all pick Lyne despite the general consensus he is rubbish but this is all we have left. I doubt we have any other players to add so it was probably one of the easiest squads to pick.
The sad part it is just before our most important game our chairman decides to release probably three players. I think someone should point out to him that players are released after the last game not just before. It looks more like another excuse to save money on their salaries.
I would point out that if he had a sick note then sacking him could turn out to be quite expensive if he sues the club for wrongful dismissal.

Cue Michael Chissit

If you actually read the squad report it does not say Ashurst is injured.

Fits in with mention in Bradford paper today that Carters probably going to take Wakefield part time next year if you go down. Everything he does seems to be about saving money.
