Thanks for that PopTart know I get shot down on here a lot ,but just think some times fans on here expect to much from the team .Was just making the point ,For what we spent disappointed with what we have got . Watched Wakefield for 70 years and I know what it takes to make a good team ,and at present to me have question marks over some of the places in the team

Mate it's a process, we've just been promoted after decades of under investment. It will take a few recruitment cycles to get a squad capable of pushing for regular play off places and beyond. I think it's you who is expecting too much too soon.

Quote: BarnsleyTrinity "Just to add to that I'm looking forward to seeing some of the players we recruited for last season making a big impact in Super League .

I think specifically Rodwell and Vagana could have significant seasons along with Uele , they are settled over here now and eased their way in at the lower level which is in my opinion a step forward from throwing them in straight off a plane from Australia and in to the cut and thrust of Super League .

Something I feel the Cas signings for example don't have .'"


Exactly how I see it too and you can add Doyle and Walmsley having a full season full time too in Championship. They aren’t championship part time players who need to adjust to full time. The transition to SL should be much easier with a reduced level of risk for the club.

Also, Pratt is still fairly young but he’s got around 40 first grade games under his belt and entering his 3rd year full time. It’s not like throwing a young green back into the team like last year.

I can’t wait for the season to begin.

Looks like you was right about the marquee. I must not have seen the press release from Ellis about Truman. I think expecting too much would be demanding playoffs or top 4/6. That’s not what anyone is doing. I think most fans are being realistic aiming between 9-6th.

Just because we may have question marks doesn’t mean we should instantly down mark the teams potential on the pitch. Each question mark could as easily turn out to be a huge positive, clearly the club believe that the chances of this are high such as that they can re-ignite the form Truman showed where he looked like a dead cert for England only a couple of short years ago.

That's how I see it too.
There are some question marks but they are not doubts.
For me nearly all the team are good enough to play super league, the question mark is whether they'll be great super league players.

I’m thinking between 6-8 games.

I’d be a bit disappointed with 6 but fairly pleased with 8.

Is that because I do not watch the team with rose tinted glasses on .

I usually look at the bookies for a guide and they can't split us . Unfortunately it's for bottom spot with us both quoted at 100/1 To Win LLS and 66/1 for GF success (all with Sky , other bookies are available) . Sky also have a head to head regular season market ,with both of us quoted at 5/6.

I think there are far too many unknowns and variables about Wakefield Trinity for anyone, even bookies, to confidently predict where we’ll finish.

Starting at the top, who knows what Matt Ellis has up his sleeve, I wouldn’t put it past him to have a Barry Hough like Wally Lewis signing to spring on everyone. (Before any one jumps on me I’m just musing and speculating)

Last time Powell had a gig in the SL he bombed miserably so there’s always that chance it won’t go well or maybe he’ll rediscover the magic he had a Castleford.

Many of our squad, even first choice players like Uele and Rodwell are unknown quantities at a higher level than the Championship. They may become even better at a higher level or the lower division may be their ceiling.

Likewise some of the younger players might not kick on or may improve hugely.

We just don’t know!

Let’s not forget that Powell with Wire won 9? Or so in a row to start with. Then it started to go wrong. It’s well publicised of the cause of that.

That shows to me Powell more than has the ability if given the backing.

A good mate of mine builds betting models for BetFred, and says that Rugby League and Snooker are the two markets that the bookies know least about (so are the only two sports he bets on!). If you're an avid RL fan then you probably know more than the guys setting up the data. Look at Sky's odds for the 2024 table this time a year ago:

Wigan
Saints
Leeds
Warrington
Catalans
Hull KR
Leigh
Huddersfield
Hull FC
Salford
Castleford
London

They got Wigan (shock) and London (shock), and were one out with Wire and Cas. But any RL tragic would have told you Leeds wouldn't finish in the top 4, Salford would be closer to the playoffs, and KR would probably be stronger than 6th.

What I'm trying to say is don't worry too much about the bookies, Trin are going to Old Trafford. @alegend

I've worked in betting industry too.
The starting odds are not worked out by the traders. They are sorted by central companies that distribute to most big gaming companies like Bet Fred or Bet365.
The traders then adjust those odds depending on how much has been bet on that team.
Also Rugby isn't a bit money earner for them so focus on it less.

If you want to see the odds change, put a £1000 on Wakefield. They'll change the odds to cover the potential loss but not by much as it's a real outside bet.

So the odds are worked out by 3 things
Likelihood of the win
Likelihood of someone betting on it
......and then changes in circumstances like a key player being injured.
