Winning 22 - 0 after 26 minutes.

34-0 now

Sounds like a very professional performance so far and line speed both in attack and defence sounds very quick. Also sounds like the play is certainly more structured and the players have a real desire.
Only a pre season I know but sounds very much like we are going in the right direction.

Sounds really dominate from us. Playing some nice stuff too.

Not to get too excited but we're doing the treble this season

can see some of the younger lads getting good minutes 2nd half

may also help sell a few more passes in the next two weeks

As others have said only a friendly but good first half.

Pretty weak Wakey squad playing, but we sound like we've gone ok so far

Sounds like a good performance, but was hoping for a more stern test before the season begins.

But its games like this that we have struggled with a good few times in the past

I agree, it's only a pre season game wakefield look to have a few missing, just a personal choice would like to have seen a closer game than just to blow the opposition away, hopefully we'll come through with some good miles in the legs and no injuries

Fifty up.

Sounds like a good partnership developing between Swift and Sutcliffe.

We cannot read too much into this of course but a confidence booster and won't do ticket sales for the Cas game any harm either.

a day with decent weather crowd of 14/15000

Admittedly, Wakey were poor. But boy it’s good to watch some good rugby from our club. Clifford could be something special for us.

I think the club would be delighted with 14,000. That would be our biggest non-derby attendance since Leeds in 2017.

We got 12,673 for the first home game last year against Saints, a Saturday lunch C4 game. In 2018 we got 13,704 for a round one home game against Huddersfield.

and Cas should bring quite a few too being a sunday!

Dan from HDM quoting smith as saying we will be “adding to our squad for the opener”

Does that mean players back from injury, or possibly a new signing…
