Gaskell, Clough & Neilsen all have Finals experience from that squad. Will be useful in a game of this importance.

Baille & Mellor miss out for me. Mellor was just unlucky with the timing of his injury this year, he was going well. But his time will come.

I like the team that I see above. This is a game that "should" bring out the best in an experienced player. Yes, Lauaki and Nielsen haven't brought the house down yet but they have it in them and Jimmy must trust them to give it when it really matters.
I am happy with experience on the wing. Caro and Clare are for next season to me. Clare would have been my choice but I am happy with Nielsen / Blythe. If they give their best it should be better than the younger lads.

I really want to see Seijka start. He will be desperate to send Wakey down and he has started to show some confidence. All three play makers on at the same time - WOW! Even if we go up I would sign another top SH but keep Harry and give him one more season to win us over.

This is our best chance of promotion. Wakey are below strength and we are at full strength.

If they all tackle properly we then have two outstanding attackers that will win the game - no excuses this time lads!

Well below strength. I am pretty sure you will win this. Don't get me wrong I would love Wakefield to win but our results this year speak for themselves. You should be Dar too strong. Good luck.

Just out of interest, why would you put Blythe on the wing? He has plenty of experience in the centre and Nielsen has played on the wing at a very high level (NRL Grand Final). Plus Nielsen has done bugger all in the centre since arriving.

Nielsen is better positional for me and blythe is a harder runner, plus blythe hardly brings his winger into the game when I've seen him at centre thinking he might get more space outside of Nielsen, can swap if you like that's the 2 positions that are gonna change but I'd prefer what I've put, each to their own through.

Has to be full strength no passengers for us to win

That's why I ask out of interest. I can't ever remember Blythe playing on the wing. Simple game plan for Wakey if he does, bombs/crossfield kicks/kicks in behind him. They could stitch him up like a good un. Just wondered if you knew something about him that i don't. There's more to playing wing than strong running. I just hope that Jimmy is justified in his decision, whatever that might be.

Oh no you don't. No way in this world are Wakey going into this game as underdogs, even if you have a few missing. Most on your forum still think that you have too much for us, especially at home.

Thanks for the well wishes though. Good luck to you too.

Re: Million Pound Game - Wakefield vs Bradford : Thu Oct 01, 2015 3:46 pm  

From a Wakefield point of view i'm glad Clare isn't playing. We have been done for pace on plenty of occasions this season and he would have exploited that, or at the very least nullified our only truely quick player in Johnstone IF Brian Smith picks him. Clare also has previous against us dor Cas at Belle Vue. Also happy the Lauaki is there, probably the laziest prop i've seen at BV this year and thats saying something. I think its going to be a close one but i think our forwards will just be the difference and we'll win it by 8. Wouldn't surprise me if it went the other way though, you are more than capable.

Oh right no I dont but you never know with Lowes.

Just thinking of strife power, most likely be neilsen on wing but will have to wait and see

I don't know either, just trying to think logically. Nielsen is a bit of an enigma at the moment. I'd like to think that someone who played on the wing in an NRL Grand Final knows what he's doing in that position. I also believe that he's very quick but we haven't seen it yet. I agree about Blythe's distribution though.

Jimmy will probably play Ryan there anyway ha.

Re: Million Pound Game - Wakefield vs Bradford : Thu Oct 01, 2015 4:36 pm  

Keeps us on our toes haha, will see if I can find some vids of neilsen on the wing, haven't really seen his speed yet, still not sure as to the reason of ommiting Clare but might be something we aren't privy to
