Is that a question or statement of fact, Mable ?
I would have thought a couple of days off and than build towards doing a job on Widness who are talking tough in the build up to their last 2 games.
If they are to avoid the wooden spoon, they will have to beat ourselves or Warrington (and Cas lose their last 2 games)
It feels like we are already playing cup footie, as a defeat will put paid to our play off hopes, but if we remain unbeaten.........................

For me (hope) the rest will do them good, and get over knocks, this goes for Widnes too it will be a good or bad thing, but if both teams are fired the reasons being, them avoid wooden spoon and us fighting for top eight, it is going to be one hell of a battle, and a heart job, unless we do what we did in the first three games.. I would like us to do a Cas on them..

It'll be a good thing - en extra week to get over any knocks and niggles, in the run-up to the two games that could define our season.

I quite like RA's tactic of deliberately taking it down to the wire - the last few games of the season are usually dead rubbers, but not at Wakey!

Lets anyone with a slight injury to recover but that works both ways would sooner it be this Sunday if Im honest.The one good thing is we are at home as though I think it will be a close first half and us go on to win comfy I would have thought away it would have been close the whole game.

Time to heel and time to focus on what two wins could mean to the club and the supporters!!!
FWIW i think we can do it, and if/when we do it will go down as some achievement by us all!!!

Good time for us both physically and mentally. Managing to get up for games against the likes of Leeds and St Helens is tough, and the Hull KR game must have taken a lot out of the players, so I think it will help us.

Good thing. OH has just pointed out that we haven't lost a game since the last weekend off. Just hope none of the are heading off to Spain for a break

I think that's why it's training as usual, so no one can do an 'Aiton'. Seem to remember phil Clarke saying that if wakey got into the 8, Agar would be his coach of the year. Not a bad shout from where him and the club started from....

I'd say in general when a team is on a hot streak ideally you don't want to have a weekend off, BUT i'd say in our case it's slightly different.

I'd say a few players are carrying knocks, it allows us to regroup and focus on how we want to finish the season but it also allows us to concentrate on area's we need to improve to have a chance of making the play-offs.

Let's also remember that as the season has gone on we have improved and i don't see any reason why that won't continue against Widnes.

I was at BV this morning - full squad were out on the pitch running drills and practising plays; I saw Foxy catch at least two crossfield kicks from Tim Smith, so there's progress!

The extra time off, followed by a home game, with a winning team, must be good for us.

Certainly better than playing away after losing 5 on the trot.

Glad the break came after the Hull KR game and not after, now gives the team time to focus on the last two games and get rid of any knocks they had previous.

Spot on

Anyones whos watche Danny Kirmond over that last few games will have seen he's busted and needs a break.

Come at the right time for my money.

Something that seems to have been overlooked on here (or at least I've not seen it mentioned) is that we had a poor first half against KR and were lucky to go in at half time still in the game. We stopped doing a lot of the basics which enabled us to win the previous four matches. I'm not sure if that was a result of the effort that had gone in to the previous matches. It may have been down to this being like an early play-off game in that whoever lost was realistically out of the running for the top 8. Probably a combination of both. Either way hopefully the week off gives a chance to focus on getting back to doing those basics right.
