Clarkie eats humble pie : Sat Sep 23, 2017 9:37 pm  
Apologised for tipping us to finish bottom and complemented us on our style of play...well I am a forgiving soul young man. Cheers for that :lol:

He should have presented a table of statistics to bore us with why he was wrong.

I heard that as well from PK

I must say I'm a bit confused that he predicted we'd stay bottom as he has a really good rugby league knowledge, I can only assume he's not taken the time to watch us and understand how good our squad of players are

The fact these guys constantly keep underestimating us bemuses me and shows them to be clueless in there job

It's just easy (lazy) to adopt the default position that Wakefield will be in or around the bottom, saves them doing their homework.

He has to say something - they pay him for it - but I just hear noise now when he starts rambling; he's an irrelevance to most people in RL, apart from Sky producers.

It's great when "experts" like Clarke write us off.
Most of the predictions on the VT and here had it about right with Widnes and Leigh propping up the table.
Catalan and Warrington going into freefall have surprised most but Trinity have excelled this season.

I'm happy for the experts to keep writing us off.
Although it can get annoying, it's an ideal starting going for Chester and Kear to get the boys ready to go at the beginning of the season.

Problem is they are unlikely to right us off next season so expectation will be higher.

Yes they'll have us down for 11th instead, 10th if we're lucky. :)
