Having 3 front line props out is an issue against a big pack and I can see us losing this one
We held Cas’ pack for long spells, plus Ellis’ back and firing. I can see an 8 point win. There’s the kiss of death.

If we'd lost those 3 games they could easily be 6th, 7th and 8th.
It's a bit like saying Saints have only played teams below them.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

I honestly thought Wakefield would steamroll us with there big pack especially on a heavy pitch and us missing a couple of our decent forwards but I was surprised with the ease we got down the pitch in our sets I think you’ll win this one comfortably

It’s a strange season Frankie, Wigan were great against Leeds and the WCC, but now not so. Leeds were good against Saints and Salford, but against Wakey garbage. Wakey lose to London etc etc predictions you can keep them this year.

It's too early in the season to make predictions, we need to just concentrate on our form, get that right and the table will take care of itself.

Having a big pack doesn't necessarily mean having a really good pack. Fifita is very good, Kopzcak is decent, Ashurst is decent, Pauli has his moments. The rest are fairly middle of the road. They are nowhere near the Castleford pack that caused us a lot of problems a few weeks ago.
They are a decent team Wakefield, but this game is down to us. If we lose it means we haven't played well, because if we are at our best we should beat Wakefield regardless of how they play.

Not really. leeds, wigan and hudds have only won 3 games between them out of 16 so far this season and 2 of those 3 were against each other. The fixtures have fallen pretty well for us against out of form teams so I hope it allows us to kick on.
Saints have, indeed, only beaten teams below them. Good observation
