What if!! all those games we've lost by slim margins - just shows we're a whisker away from a being a top four team!
Hats off to CC, I think he really does know a little more about team selection than me!

I though Hampshire had a great game last night. He is clearly a good half back but I like him at fullback for his passing. Not everything went perfectly yesterday but his speed into the line is great and his pass is crisp. He definitely speeds us up out wide.
Not sure why Max didn't play. Was he injured or was it tactical?

I agree, he doesn't deserve the crap posted about him. As for having a decent game, you must've been watching a different game to me. I forgot he was playing half the time. The only thing I can remember him being involved in (other than kicking at goal) was the forward pass in the second half. Don't get me wrong he's played some good games, but I think he needs to either consider the 'R' word or if he isn't ready for that just yet, then dropping down a division. Unfortunately his race in Super League has run.

Having just watched CC's post match interview he desribes his performance as fantastic! So yeh we must have been watching a different game, but at the end of the day we're only specis we see the game differently.

If he does he would be great there. I like to see the Wakefield Old Boys sticking together.

Gutted at the result but, proud of the comeback and the effort from 1 -17.
2 absolute howlers from Child (again) and both are beyond doubt, although it was laughable from Cummings on Sky, saying that we dont know if Batch would have scored and it should have only been a penalty ??

Ultimately 2 points lost and a bit of naivety with the kick to the in goal, which led to the Saints try.

Stil a great game though and to be toe to toe with the the best side in the comp, on their own ground and with restricted interchanges is a magnificent effort and if we can continue at that level, we should have a great finish to the season

That would be a good move for him at this stage of his career.

Yet when it comes to Johnstone who plays for Widnes he pronounces it correctly!!

Regarding Childs "all too obvious bias against Trinity" would that be the same Childs who reffed a 10 0 penalty count against Wigan in the first 35 mins. Incidentally in the same game he didn't refer the Tom Johnstone "try" which he clearly dropped. Its all about perception, the fact is he gets things wrong all the time.

Stop trolling Sheffield Warrior (with 4 posts to date on RL fans).

I've watched that Wigan game twice. The penalty decisions were correct and reflective of how the game was going at that point and whilst close the Johnstone try was correct.

well, over the two games it was a draw with the points aggregate......
there wont be any other team that will get anywhere near that.........
