To be fair the Cummins and the other bloke on the radio were baffled at a lot of the decisions. Unfortunately a good %90 of the 50/50 calls go against us. That's the perils of being Wakefield Trinity.

Yep, Webster must go for me. Nice bloke but out of his depth.

And going back into last season 15 deafets in 19 league games. We have conceded 40 or more in 11 of those. Not good enough.

They also said he had given us everything in the second half. Helped keep the score down.

Anderson Paea Ashurst Kirke Kirmond Collis Hall Owen all missing and the reason IMO we lost by 40 and not 4 is we were playing Saints and not Hull ! and we have played the top 4 teams in the last few weeks with a patched up team. We would have struggled with a full team against these sides let alone the one we have been putting out. Having said this our Fitness/Conditon is far inferior to other teams IMO.

I would agree with that 100% mate. I haven't missed one game in the last 5 years, home, away, friendlies. I have seen the good , the bad and the downright ugly but looking at the team we put out and the team we were playing and the totally biased referee, away to the 2nd best team in the comp. I don't think we did too bad. I think that some of the young lads showed up well and imo the effort was there. I am sure that a lot of the part time coaches on here will doubt that but I will be at hkr next week doing what a lot of you so called supporters should be doing. think Webster is managing the squad pretty shrewdly with what he has got and I am not really bothered if we win another game as long as when we get to the business end of the season he does the business which is plainly the plan

I quote 'i think the plan is to just not give st helens any penalties this half to even the game up'.

Jury is out for me with Webster but there will have to be a serious improvement in defence in the end of season games. It is by no means a forgone conclusion that teams like Leigh and Bradford are beaten already even when we get out 'star' players back -most of who would not get in another SL team!
I cannot remember when I saw a Wakefield player doing other than letting an opposing player run at him instead of meeting him and showing some enthusiasm - a bit of the fire that Nigel Bell had.

Anyone who thinks we can continue on this pitiful run and suddenly flick a switch when it comes to the middle 8's and start winning games is in the words of Nigel Pearson an "Ostrich".

It's time for the players to start playing like a team and having some pride in their own performances - Losing is one thing being continually "mullered" is quite another. Unfortunately, whilst the current coach remains in charge and he and sections of the fan base continue to make excuses for their poor performances nothing is likely to change including when we get to the middle 8's.

Well said

Things ain't going to get better by sticking your head in the sand and hoping for a good performance in the middle 8s, nor by blaming the ref or anyone else. Fact is we've suffered another heavy beating, will probably suffer another one next week, week after that and the week after and soon until our points difference is probably -1000. But it's alright, some players are putting in "effort"
