The gulf in rugby league isn't as big as people think regarding super league and the championship.

Ignore what the commentators on sky say, just watch some games.

The championship teams have given a good account of themselves in this competition, don't knock them

I don't think you have given Leigh enough credit,they are a good team,your first half lead was down to the amount of possession given to you by Leigh's dropped balls a 2- 1 penalty count against Leigh and a couple of dubious forward passes, then we have Neil Fox at half time telling you the game is over have a word with yerself Neil another 40 to be played yet.Next thing you know Jeds a Millionaire.

Sorry, but anyone who wants out just quietly walk away. Otherwise, whinge away as much as you want, but at the end of the day you have to give your support to the name of Wakefield Trinity. Players, owners will come and go, so don't come on here bleating about how you are going and how you want the club to sink, & encouraging others to do the same!

Agree totally. Think of all the past who have given blood sweat and tears. It's in their memory I will keep going

I'd have to agree with your points about Trinity possession in first half and the crazy Neil Fox interview...bound to lose after what he said!

To be fair to neil for any other super league team the game would have been over winning 24 6 at half time against Leigh

We just dont have any game management and no mental strength

Leigh are a good side, Trinity are an awful one. But still another other SL side with an 18 point lead at half time would've finished you off. Trinity have no mental strength, poor fitness, absolutely no game management and players short on confidence.

well said , that man. if they are not up for the fight, bugger off home and stop moaning. look at the super league clubs that are supposed to be in good form against championship opposition today. Catalans kept Featherstone out by 1 score. Widnes kept Dewsbury out by 1 score. The last time Leigh lost was against Leeds. 25 games unbeaten. They are not numpties, came out in the 2nd half threw a few handbags, disrupted our game, that's when the game turned and I would have a good bet that that is what was talked about in Leighs dressing room at half time. We are not Widnes or Catalans. We are well down on confidence. We should have never let them come back but I won't be commiting suicide over it

Agree with the majority of that post, with the exception of "Leigh threw a few handbags".
When watching it back, it is plain as day that Kirmond threw 2 or 3 punches in the tackle & he was even useless at that, that is what caused the fracas.

Anyway, I haven't come on here to gloat about Leigh or deride Wakefield, just a message to reiterate what I posted earlier in the week.

The Championship is a good comp, it has good, strong Clubs & teams with great fans. It has been said in several quarters that the rugby is in some ways more exciting than in many SL matches where it is all 4/5 drives & a kick.

If the Wildcats do end up relegated, all is not lost. Teams & clubs & even fan bases can be rebuilt. In the case of Leigh we had no money, bucket collections for players because they weren't getting paid, 3rd bottom & saved from relegation at the final hour.
Even in those darker days, we still had the fans, more fans than any other Club & when the board wised up & changed the team improved, the club improved.

Has the Championship killed Leigh, Bradford, Halifax, Fev & Sheff Eagles ?

Never.

So, heads up Wakey fans, you live to fight another day & if that fight is in the Championship, so be it, it ain't the pit of despair painted by some.

Best of luck to you all (Genuinely) with all your on & off field issues, but.should the worst come to the worst & you are relegated to the Championship then -

Come on in, the rugby's lovely.
