Anybody who takes the so called referee James Child 'out' should be awarded 3 man of steel points with honours.

It’s funny that this particular ref has quite a habit of this over last three years. Look at number of times it has come up with him. What does he do differently?

After giving McLelland a go Agar hasn't shown signs of being adventurous with selections. Its understandable - his brief is damage limitation not rebuilding, and he wouldn't be the only coach in his position to revert to experienced players, no matter how useless they are.

We're in a relegation fight, and we need to act as such. That means targeting specific games and not worrying about losing others. Wakefield has to be a target game. The next ones after that are KR and Hull at home. These need to be identified and targeted as must wins.

That means not picking half fit players in the other games and I'd really like to see him push the boat out a bit against the better teams, as we'll have nothing to lose by experimenting a bit.

Wigan and Catalans are surely no different to those games? On paper we have a fixture list I would prefer to have at this stage, than not have. We should be beating Catalans twice with both at home.

Four more wins and I’d say we are safe, we should target this as one due to Wakeys recent form.

I’d go for this one, London away, one of the Catalans games and Wigan at home.

This would leave London looking at winning half their games left (when you exclude the Leeds one). It would be nice to be clear before we play them again.

With our fixture list we should be targeting to finish above Hull KR and Salford, not worrying about the next London game.

Weve so many home games left due to being away so often early. I know weve not been good at Headingley either but, as you say, you would hope we would win enough to move above a team or 2 with the games we have left.

Re: SL RD 17 | Wakefield Trinity (A) : Tue May 28, 2019 7:35 am  

Are we likely to have any injured players back for this one?

Re: SL RD 17 | Wakefield Trinity (A) : Tue May 28, 2019 7:54 am  

If the ref gets in the way of Parcell what is he supposed to do as it didn`t appear that Parcell targeted him.
On the subject of team selection.
I do hope we don`t expect Dwyer to do the full 80 against Wakefield and Wigan.
And if Corey doesn`t get a slot could maybe Donaldson fill in at hooker for 20 minutes or so?
He can certainly tackle that`s for sure.
I would not have Singleton in the 17 and agree Oledzki needs "resting".
How Sutcliffe got mom defies any logic and was slightly above sh$te against London.
As for Myler average at best apart from a couple of decent last ditch tackles.
No organisation and no kicking game whatsoever.
Without doubt we are a bottom two possibly 3 side as the table shows.

You'd like to think so, and maybe appointing the next coach might just give us a boost (although talk about poisoned chalice...). However, we have seen for half a season now the same frailties in most games from this team. We lose the energy battle most weeks because of errors, discipline and an awful kicking game. We are generally not physical enough either - partly due to having a youngish team.
We've just scraped past the bottom side in SL, who don't have a recognised SL squad, by 2 points and it nearly killed us.
If we can get points on the board sooner rather than later, maybe we can start thinking and planning properly for 2020,

Not expecting anyone bar Hurrell back. McLelland, Holroyd, Trout all played for the academy at the weekend. Briscoe played for Featherstone. JJB, Crosby, Ward, Ferres, Lolohea all still out. Rumour going round Ablett may have to retire through injury.
