Wakefield Trinity • Sheffield Eagles

I think it’s the more unknown. Us fans aren’t used to playing these teams or squads and other than a few players we don’t know much about them. To a degree I suppose it’s natural to be confident but wary of what you don’t know.

With Sheffield there’s some experienced heads I recognise through the team so it’s no surprise they’re doing well. Team appears to have good balance though I don’t know much about their pivots and a couple of forwards.

They’ve not come up against an outfit like us yet though. Although we haven’t really fired we are consistently running plays at a tempo higher than the teams we’ve been facing to date. It’s important we keep that going and build even more on that.

Forwards need to do the damage and the backs need to work smart off of that. I hope we are a bit more direct down the middle early plays because when we started to be more direct Toulouse struggled to contain us. It’s sometimes about taking energy out of the opposition tanks to pay out later in the game.

We are sat in the stands and very much looking forward to this. The players will no doubt want to be the only club left unvested come Friday night about 9.30pm. Sleeves up again.
