Unprofessional from us as is the case on most trips to Yorkshire.

Must have one of our worst records at that place

Shiiiiite away at Wakey just for a change. Sounded completely ill-disciplined for the millionth time this season. Im happy with the progress we are making under Peet and it's easy to be critical after that result but i am sick and tired of the pathetic penalties we give away. There is a proper problem will some of the players. If they are incapable of not doing it then bin them off. Billy big balls mentality.

Re: Wakefield (a) : Fri Jul 07, 2023 8:36 pm  

Pretty embarrassing effort that. I know games at this point mean nothing, but that is plain pathetic...

Re: Wakefield (a) : Fri Jul 07, 2023 8:42 pm  

That type of defeat was coming all night. We just refused to make it easy for ourselves. Whoever put that challenge in at the end on Kay needs dropping. They were goosed and had nothing left.

Very poor, who ever gave that pen away in the last few mins honestly unforgivable. Fair play to Wakefield hung in and we’re clinical. Hopefully lights a fire up booty as we’ve been good at times but in the last 3 games we’ve played shocking. Hopefully some bodies back in next week.

Re: Wakefield (a) : Fri Jul 07, 2023 8:48 pm  

It's really difficult to overstate how bad that was. We played like complete idiots tonight and that penalty conceded with a minute left was the cherry on the cake. Outside of that, still no progress with our attacking structure, a poor attitude to defence and inconsistent goalkicking yet again.

Re: Wakefield (a) : Fri Jul 07, 2023 9:13 pm  

I don't think we've truly put the cleaners through any team all season due to the lack of cohesiveness in attack and the fact we've effectively played with one half-back all year.

I honestly think the most balanced we've looked, other than Leigh away (with Field at 6 and French at 1) is with Hampshire at 6 in the games against Leeds and KR away. Although in the latter a sloppy middle to the second half almost cost us that one.

Our only way of winning seems to be grinding out results with attritional performances and brutal defence capitalising on mistakes other teams make off the back of it.

If our defence is slightly off and we don't concentrate for the full 80 you get what you get tonight. It's walking a tightrope every week and it has to change.

We haven't scored enough team tries this season which come through fluent rugby and we are heavily reliant on individuals.

We are supposed to be a top side with an excellent squad but it's incredibly stressful and not very enjoyable watching Wigan this season and it has really come to the fore since the international break.

A tough call is going to have to be made but Hampshire needs to be in the team for me OR we go with Field at 6 once Isa comes back to shore up that right edge and protect Field. Our best performances this season have been with French at 1.

Cust and Mago will go down as two of our worst overseas signings and we’ve had plenty failures. I was hopeful the good weather would see us click, it’s all that seemed to be talked about in the early part of the season but we are nothing in the grand scheme of things when it comes to making an impact in October when it’s wet.
