What on earth happened to the clampdown on time wasting when a drop out is forced.
FC were on the rack and at least 4 of their platers fell like flies, all wanting attention, it was embarrassing and frustrating.
They were under the cosh and yet allowed to take all the momentum away with their play acting.

Different perspectives I suppose, throwing your hands up in the air constantly begging for penalties, players red carded, others for similar offences not. Take it on the chin mate, a Hull side with so many missing managed to withstand a Wakey side, which screams out for inventiveness, you had enough possessions to win two games in eighty minutes, your halves never created, this cost you the game.

You do realise you have Jake Connor AND Luke Gale in your side?

It was actually two missed tackles and poor decision making that cost us the game.
For me that was a game we should have won, and we have to learn from it and move on.

The drop out that I'm referring to took over 5 minutes, something that WAS being clamped down on.
If you read my earlier post, I said that we needed Lino back desperately and ultimately this was probably the difference between winning and losing and you're right that, with the amount of good field position we had, Trinity should have won the game.
We could perhaps mention just how many head shots FC got away with, not much of a clamp down there, either.

Lol I accept that, but it does kind of emphasise my inventiveness point.

The only delay to restart I can think of that took a while was when Ligi Sao was down, who subsequently left the field before play restarted for a head assessment other than that there wasn't much and the clock was in play for the majority of the drop outs we took.

In regards to the arm waving I was surprised to see Wakey adopt that tactic as its not something I've associated with your trinity teams before but it seemed to be at just about every tackle two or 3 players were waving their arms trying to get a call from Griffiths regardless.

It was never going to be a classic game in those wet & cold conditions and being the first serious gameand having seen the two 17's before the game I was expecting a much more torrid time from a Hull view but I thought we for once did enough to see out the game.

Think this remark is spot on Hull did look sharper with ball in hand for 20 mins in second half ,and a lot of the first half with ball in hand. Think at Wakefield we have got use to our halves not creating ,and depending on individuals scoring or making a break to keep us in the game e.g. T J yesterday . Hope it is something we can change under W P .Throwing hands up in the air and constantly begging for penalties is some thing that as grown into our game and is done by all clubs .Not nice to see

Re: Squad v hull : Mon Feb 14, 2022 12:29 pm  

Miller has some good points but yesterday when he picked up that loose ball on half way and turned sideways instead of heading for the gap it just about summed up his limitations. Then his knock on at 2nd tackle on our final set ended our involvement and had the majority of Wakefield fans heading for the exits. Many fans are now just waiting in purgatory for the end of Millers time. We need a replacement ready and hopefully still be in Super League.

talking about taking it on the chin maybe Conner should be told not to chelp back at the ref, when he was given the red card he didn't want to go showing no respect for the refs decision
there was once a time when players accepted it whether it was right or wrong seems not any more
