Leigh will win at least one game.....you read it here first.

Re: Wakefield : Sun Jun 06, 2021 11:43 pm  

Thought Leigh turned up today with the right attitude. They came to really rattle Wakey and did just that for the most part.

If Leigh keep at it they may pick up a few odd wins here and there.

Wakefield never looked a million miles away when they went through that losing run. Sure enough they start getting players back and they’re moving in the right direction.

From what I’ve seen of Leigh they’re similar. Maybe a player or two off a winning run.

Plus there’s still plenty of time for someone else to get drawn into a relegation scrap. Huddersfield or even Hull KR or Cas if they lose a few players to injury

Leigh had a real good dig yesterday and if they can get something close to their first 17 on the field, they should win a few games.
Well done to the fans that made the trip over, who supported their side for the full 80 and good luck with the survival campaign..

Pretty sure Lost their first 8 in 1992, beat Saints and stayed up quite comfortably in the end, although they relegated nobody

A shock 2 points might not be far off now that we have some games at home coming up

For clubs like Leigh and Wakefield home advantage makes a huge difference. Imho it’s no coincidence that Trinity have won our last three games in front of a partisan crowd at BV.

The true measure of our progress will come next week against Warrington away, I don’t expect a win if I’m honest.

If we stay up it will be on home form.

No but Wakefield were appalling in 2015. They lost 20 out of 23 league games and were accused of not even trying at one point when they lost 80-0 at Warrington.

Crowds slowly fell and by the end of the season they returned an average of only 4,000.

They were accused of saving it all for the relegation play offs, and they did save their best to see off Bradford Bulls and have them relegated when everyone inc Wakey fans said Wakey actually really deserved to go down.....

Nice story bro' but, you made this up.

However, Wakefield certainly exposed the myth of "every minute matters", with an ill thought out and shambolic league structure that, thankfully, has been discarded.
Had Bradford won the MPG, then Trinity would have "deserved" to go down.

A truly horrible day and I don’t think anyone in the ground enjoyed it.

It didn’t relegate Bradford we were already in the championship.

When Danny Addy stepped up to take that penalty you had hope but tbh at no point did Wakefield look like losing. There was a difference between the two and you could see it.
