enjoyable game, nothing in it in the first half - we had a really good spell, then they had a really good spell. the strong wind caused both teams problems at first with a lot of passes and kicks going astray. halftime kelly, taylor and houghton all done for the day. started second half with only shaul and connor as out and out first teamers, the rest from what will most likelt be the reserve team. However they dominated the half albeit playing with the strong breeze. connor was pretty classy throughout - played in his dinner jacket really. Wakefield who also played some fringe players in the second half brought back a few of their big guns and won the match with a superb breakaway try.
FC did pretty well with the team they had, perhaps worrying again though was the amount of holding down they did, a lack of game management especially when 12 points up in the first half and not finishing them off when well placed in the last quarter. Would hope some of these faults sort themselves out next week.
as well as the obvious Connor, Lane and Thompson stood out with their hard work and faraimo casused problems in his cameo.
Wakefield look like they could be a decent side again though they probably need to keep their first 17 pretty much fit all season (the same problem for a lot of sides to be fair)
and as usual hicks was far too busy getting himself noticed rather than allowing the sides to play a bit more rugby which both were willing to do
