Don't worry - he's hoping for a win just like the rest of us - it's the old 'expect the worst, but hope for the best routine', which can never fail - I recommend it, but I'm just not consistent enough to keep with and for this game I expect a fairly tight Wildcats win - possibly less than one score in it!

Got to agree with you on this, the team looked alot more creative without Cooke on the field. The looked a much better side IMO. Personally, i think we can manage without him, moving Obst to a permenant scrum half, with Latu and Davey rotating at hooker.

Bradford on Friday is a must win if we're serious about making the play-offs, especially with KR on 12 and Crusaders and Cas hitting 10 points rather quickly in the last few weeks!



Wakefield 12

Hull KR 12

Crusaders 10

C*stleford 10

In my opinion if Cooke don't play it's a plus for us, the rugby will be better and I feel a win will be inevitable.

Really looking forward to this game. Think we are in with a shout. Lot depends on if Orford plays though.

With regards the Cooke thing, he's only been here 10 minutes. Agree, so far does not look great, and I have no microphones in the dressing room, but we can either make judgement after a few games, or give him just a little more time. I will personally give him a little more time.

(Just like Harry did with Gareth.

Because I am allowed to.



The players and the coach will no doubt have the last word on this.

I fancy us for the win,as long as we come out with the right level of intensity and the defense gives no time for Orford to play.Hope to see a better right side defense,with having 2 weeks to work on it.The side should be raring to go and put in a performance against Bradford that shows the team are starting to gel and play some decent Rugby League.

Of course you are allowed









How long should we give him?

First forty against the Bulls then give hime the hook.

Only as long as his worth improves to a level of acceptability that players, coaching staff and fans alike find endearing.





[size=50or a couple more games. [/size

I can't wait for Friday, I just hope they keep Bentham, Ganson, Silverwood and Child away from the game





Bradford to win by no more than eight points and the crowd to be a tad under 7k.

Agree.



At times against eigh on Friday, you couldn't tell which was the Championship club to the Super league club, the silly passes behind the attacking line we did.
