I think it’s the more unknown. Us fans aren’t used to playing these teams or squads and other than a few players we don’t know much about them. To a degree I suppose it’s natural to be confident but wary of what you don’t know.

With Sheffield there’s some experienced heads I recognise through the team so it’s no surprise they’re doing well. Team appears to have good balance though I don’t know much about their pivots and a couple of forwards.

They’ve not come up against an outfit like us yet though. Although we haven’t really fired we are consistently running plays at a tempo higher than the teams we’ve been facing to date. It’s important we keep that going and build even more on that.

Forwards need to do the damage and the backs need to work smart off of that. I hope we are a bit more direct down the middle early plays because when we started to be more direct Toulouse struggled to contain us. It’s sometimes about taking energy out of the opposition tanks to pay out later in the game.

We are sat in the stands and very much looking forward to this. The players will no doubt want to be the only club left unvested come Friday night about 9.30pm. Sleeves up again.

Flaming Raining again according to the BBC Weather forecast, 70% chance, from noon until after the match, DAM Dam & Dam its getting to be a designated wet country with a few dry & sunny days in a year, still good luck to the lads & up the Trin !!

Its a 4G pitch so no mud, just a slippery ball

I think it's the biggest challenge to date.
If we manage to get to wembley we will probably meet them again in the final.
I'm a bit on edge about this one

Play to our potential we win, keep making the amount of errors we do along with the ill discipline and we will make it hard for ourselves.

Have to say I’m pretty fed up of seeing wet weather or overcast weather now. Bring on summer and the hard pitches. Hope it isn’t raining.

Well, it's glorious here in Sunny Barnsley today.....

I feel exactly the same. It's a bit of the unknown. Points the same as us but I don't know how easy it was for them.

No nerves at all, Wakefield by 16.

I would say they have had easier games as they gavent played fev or bradford yet and i may be wrong but believe both toulouse and donny were closer score wise with them than they were with wakey

Message from the Eagles office
We kindly ask for any Wakefield Trinity supporters not to travel if you haven't got a ticket. We remind you that there will be no pay on the day.

real shame that this isn't being televised, would be a great advert for the championship!

also no radio coverage either

SOLD OUT

Wakefield are 1/5 to win with sky bet
Sheffield are getting 14 start on the handicap

Bradford are getting 24 start for the 1895 Cup semi final

I hope the bookies are right (on both games) !

I can not find a site with Champoinship match betting it only ever says to win grand final outright

Not able to go this evening so I'm guessing the only way to follow it live is on X with maybe the odd score update on Radio Leeds ??

Was really nervous about this one but even with 12 men for the last 10 minutes we still managed to score again !! Will be interesting to hear from those who went what kind of performance we put in ?? https://twitter.com/WTrinityRL/status/1 ... gr%5Etweet
