The match is now being shown live on SuperLeague+.... Wakefield v Leigh Challenge Cup tie set to be televised with broadcast details revealed

Well, a game we very much could and should have won yesterday. We gift wrapped 12 points and the game. But there were also key moments where we should have applied smart rugby and failed. 


Roarke had a good game but a terrible 2 errors that cost 12 points. Unforced too, however he should be afforded the opportunity to learn from that. 


Pratt on the break at 12-6 and a pass to TJ would have been 18-6. I’m sure he knows this. He will improve his decision making and sometimes you can’t be too harsh a young lad backing himself. I did think Armstrong put himself in position well though to defend it. 


After that 12-12 and we were camped on the line in front of posts. Lino should have been screaming for a drop goal with 14 minutes left but Hood tried to barge through 3 players to score. Not smart at all in knockout rugby. 


Finally, the players should be reassured by the fact we could easily for a bit more composure and execution have won that at the end by 2 scores or more. 


The worry for me is halfback. It wasn’t fluid at all today. Trueman is a big miss but Trueman and Jowitt even more so. 


Now with Trueman, Russell and Lawford out who gets to be in halves next week?


Can see Walmsley at 1 and Roarke at 6, Myers on wing maybe. At least we have options. 


Personally though I would give young Stevenson the halfback spot and keep Roarke at FB and Walmsley on wing. 


Griffin, Storton, Russell, Truman, Doyle, Nikotemo, Lawford, Russell all on the treatment table it doesn’t get easier does it.

Spoke to Nikotemo last night, he said he’s targeting the Cas game in a couple of weeks. Didn’t look to have anything on his wrist/hand so pretty positive. 

Pratt needs to keep his head held high after this game. He did two exquisite breaks against Hanley, who was very dominant last week. Pratt was also defensively solid as a rock. Yes he should have passed to Johnstone, but he’ll learn from it. 


Outstanding talent needs to be nurtured and not ridiculed like some of the stuff people have wrote on other online sites. We are playing really well with the players we’re able to put out. Leigh are a very good team who play very physical  


I’ve seen Hood play 6 before and he’s pretty handy, but obviously that leaves us short at 9. Robbing Peter to pay paul. 


Going to be very tough against St’s next week, with the only advantage being we’ve got 2 days extra recovery on them. Reckon we’ll have to get Gale signed back on at this rate!! 

Disappointing end result last night but cannot fault the effort as usual. Some mistakes and penalties hurt us and unfortunately really contributed to our downfall. 


We have some great players young and old and the best thing is that most of them will get even better with experience.


Last night we lost a hb well before HT and Matty Russell was smashed early doors what shift he put in given the rib injury.


Rourke, Croft, Scott, Ellie Russell, Ky, Harvey, Caleb, Isiah, Croft,  from last night's team along with those not there will grow in the roles.
