Yes, that was the other option. But i think the team this week is already going to be changed a lot, so the least amount of disruption would be to leave Hampshire at FB.

I certainly would go with one of those with Arundel in the centre rather than moving a back rower out into the backs.

19 versus the Wire:
Tinirau Arona
Joe Arundel
Matty Ashurst
Jordan Baldwinson
Danny Brough
Jordan Crowther
Anthony England
David Fifita
Ryan Hampshire
Keegan Hirst
Justin Horo
Ben Jones-Bishop
Max Jowitt
George King
Craig Kopczak
Reece Lyne
Jacob Miller
Pauli Pauli
Kyle Wood

Looking like Jowitt on the wing and Arundel as his centre?

This'll be a tough ask - Wire looking pretty solid, and a lot of enforced changes for WT.

Effort is all we can ask for - and someone to have a seismograph turned on when BMM and Big Dave come together...

Hampshire
Jowitt
Arundel
Lyne
BJB
Miller
Brough
Fifita
Wood
England
Ashurst
King
Crowther

Paulie
Arona
Kopczak
Horo

Hi all, Wire fan here and I come in peace. Looking forward to the game on Thursday night and I'm coming across on the train via Leeds. I've been told to catch the train from Leeds to Sandal and Agbrigg and the ground is a short walk from the train station.

What I want to know is, are there any places to eat between Sandal and Agbrigg train station and the stadium, or would I be better off eating at Leeds train station? As I'm on the train, I don't want to walk miles into the centre of Wakefield. Looking for the staple RL diet of a pie, fish and chips, pizza or all 3 if I'm really hungry. Ha ha ha.

Cheers in advance.



John.

S&A station is the closest...a 10 minute stroll.

The road you walk down (Agbrigg Road), is the road you are on when you leave the station - the main part of it has every kind of takeaway going.

Go right to the end of Agbrigg Rd (T junction), and turn left, the ground is 100m on the left. You can exit the ground onto St Catherine St, which gives a shortcut, back to Agbrigg Rd, after the game.

Probably best off eating in Leeds if you want to avoid food poisoning.

its a ground defo not a stadium ...

Thanks for the replies and apologies for referring to the 'ground' as a 'stadium'. I think I'll get out of the train station at Leeds and head to Pie Minister for a bite to eat.

How is George King doing? He was a hard working prop and will get a good reception from the Wire fans on Thursday night. Can we have him back and you can have Lama Tasi as a swap?

George is going well for us and seems to be enjoying his rugby here.

Get off at Wakefield westgate a bite to eat in Wakefield City centre and 15 min walk to Belle Vue.
