The drop is looking ominous for Wakefield Trinity.
They need to start scoring points before they start actually winning games. I’ve never known anything like their current record. Ahead of Sunday’s game at Salford, they’ve gone three successive matches without scoring a single point. This is the first time it's happened to a team in Super League and it’s easy to see why people are worried about Wakefield getting relegated.
There’s been years where a team has come up and been hammered most weeks. But nothing like this run of being nilled three times on the bounce and not from a team that’s already established in Super League. That scoreless sequence just puts its own pressures on the club and players. You’ve got the pressure of trying to get a win - Wakefield have lost all four so far - but also the pressure of knowing you’ve not been able to score.
