I know you won't like this but the lad we got from HKR Marriano is also a goodun.

I just think with your deduction and pre season financial disaster... That they are not good enough at the moment... They need leaders on the field other than morrison..

And I agree that mariano is a decent player although he is from the scum... Isn't he injured after the last game though?

how does the points deduction affect the product on the field?

Wakefield will be no ones patsy, there is still plently of pride in that wakey team so anyone who believes we are in for a 50 point win may well be disapointed ....
Good to see TL showing some of his skills last week, looked good and mature

Morale will be low

I doubt it, with someone like Kear at the helm he will be turning the adversity into a positive, "if this is to be our last season in SL, then lets go out fighting" etc.

Also, the deduction doesn't seem to have affected Crusaders to any huge extent.

stop dissing a team for the sake of it, it's embarassing for the rest of us.

that is possibly the furthest from the truth it could get!!!

TBH you could get fifty but as you say it's not guaranteed. Some teams will hit us on bad days some on good, I suspect that when we are good we will be very good and when we are bad we will be very very bad. That's how it will be I'm afraid.

If to my amazement we won tomorrow I wouldn't think it the start of great things to come, likewise if we get a thumping it wouldn't be the end of the world and I wouldn't brand us as cr*p.

I can see a similar result to the Crusaders game.

Jesus we better not lose, after some of the stuff thats been posted on here.

hope so, as much as i like teams like wakey we need to put in a really good performance and try and rack up a big score because for some time now dont seem to kill teams of and for a little period against the crusaders that showed

Before you can put teams away there will be periods of armwrestling. I am starting to think it won't be as big a score as against Crusaders, they have King and Jefferies back which will lift them and we have Ogre, Yeaman and Moa out so plus they have the Kear factor.

I will go 32-16 but it will be tight for a while, Wakey showed against Wire last week that they will fight and defended well.
