2 of us going and looking forward to it.

Having games on different days can be a right pain in the backside, especially games on "the darkside" on Friday evenings.
However, working around the needs of Sky, something we have very little choice with, each club has to decide what is best for them and with most Sky games being on Fridays (with some Thursday games), it's little wonder that most clubs have moved to Friday nights, as it's far less disruptive.
At least that wat, clubs are only playing on Friday or occasional Thursday (not counting Magic weekend and the Easter games) and apparently, Fridays are very good for the corporate stuff.

Moch as we all like a moan, there is no point.
Sky call the tune and we have to dance.

Leigh may have targeted us but, dont you think that they will have been near the top of Chester's list of "must win games"..
I'd rather be a Trinity fan than a Leigh fan
Wakefield have won 6 from 12, Leigh 3 from 12 and they haven't won since 16 march.

Of course they will be up for it but, Trinity will want to do the business and if we get off to anything like a good start, the 2 points should be coming back to Yorkshire.

Come on Trin !

I think this is an important game for us, but I do think Chester will have targetted this one too.

Think if we start well and dont switch off, like we have had a tendency to do so we should be ok.

Strong squad with Toops back, but Arundel kick started the comeback last week with that break. A good position to be in.

Re: Leigh away : Fri May 05, 2017 9:10 am  

Probably the most vulnerable team we've played in some weeks; and whilst SL is much more competitive this year, making any result possible in most games, this one is very definitely a game that we need to win. There's absolutely no value in running really good teams close, then capitulating to a team like Leigh, who are struggling to compete.

It's a must win game and we will do, comfortably. Leigh are proving to be what they are, a weak squad full of ageing forwards, slow backs and below average halfbacks, all lead by a coach who got the top job way too soon and isn't ready for this level. There isn't one player of theirs i'd have over ours. They'll try roughing is up early but stand up to them and we'll win by 20+.

I wouldn't go so far as saying any game is going to be comfortable, Leigh were solid in the first half against us and I'd expect that at home they're going to try their best to get a win. I do think we have enough to win the game, but I can't see it being the big win we all hope it will be. I'm more inclined to think it will be something like: Leigh 16 - Wakefield 22

Nah if we lose it'll be the refs fault, it always is!

Actually i'm just trying the arrogant Leigh fan style post of the last couple of years, just so they know how annoying it is!
