| Quote: Ian Millward "Wakefield (+2) v St Helens - Sunday, 1500 BST
I have had a lot of admiration for Wakefield this season and their coach Chris Chester has done an excellent job.
They have a good pack of forwards and two very quick wingers but I just wonder whether there will be a little bit of drop off in this game.
Saints have won their last two and I expect them to come out on top in a low-scoring contest - they can win and cover a small start on the handicap.'"
Not that I mind being underdogs but you have to wonder why, given the season we have had. I just don't get why everyone continues to write us off??

| Firstly I love being underdog, we were at Widnes and look what happened there.
Secondly why do the experts also make us underdogs ? could it be they know F'ALL.

| Just one of those natural things in life, if anything must give the lads that extra incentive to prove people wrong.
I'd like to see the odds and who these so called 'experts' have to be tipped bottom for next season. I'd bet they have us near bottom again.

| I'd see it that way. It'll be close but Sts have new found form and are chasing a position in the 4, rather than defending one.
We don't have a great record against them up not a bad one

| Not going to be an easy game,Saints have the second best defence /points scored against in SL. I really do hope though that we can put a good score on them,which I think we can do. 32 - 20 to Trinity for me.

They also have the lowest points for in the top 8.
Although they have improved in recent weeks they seem to lack creativity or any sort of structure when they get near the line - If we defend how we have the past 3 or 4 weeks I cant see them putting many points on us.

| I did expect to see us being -4 so was shocked to see us +2
Very strange as we are the Top 4 side and are at home.

| Maybe because this is new territory and Saints have a knack of climbing back up the table? See their last season under Nathan Brown.

Schofield seems to be having a bit of a love affair with Trinity this season after many years condemning them.
