Yes, absolutely no doubt our right side was where it was lost...a 19 year old usual left centre playing right centre and a full back who’s aspiring to play scrum half on the right wing...Catalans took full advantage of that.

We had a right side centre sat at home on furlough

Are we supposed to be gutted that we've missed out on these top drawer signings or surprised that they want an easier life as retirement approaches?

You can be what you want chief including being your usual sarcastic self, my reply was in response to a poster what was asking if we were prepared to pay more for better players, or stay as we are buying squad players who it would seem aren't prepared to come and play for next to nothing, hope that goes some way to explain my post.

Stats are up and shows there wasn’t that much difference in the forwards...maybe their bench had more impact than ours but Fifita and Arona statistically stood up well enough against their opposing players...difference between the two teams was blatantly obvious and I’d pay no blame to anyone...we go again next week...

What’s our record 5 wins out of 26 games ? Can’t all be down to refs and luck. Can’t see us getting much joy out of next few games either. Perhaps we just expect too much But can honestly say have never been quite so disappointed

Mcllorum gets away with murder but hes very goid at it, he never ever looks at the referee and gives himself away.
Good on Pitts for having a go.
Cats to good for us but no shame in that.
Wakefield have to make their mind up az a club are they happy with things as they are or are we going to push the boat out and make a couple of quality signing for the new season.
And before the penny crunchers have a shout the alternative will almost certainly result in reduced gates and a possible relegation battle.
I have to say that the referee today did wakefild no favours.

He's not very good at it. What he does is obvious. He will get penalised left right and centre against the top teams. When will people get it that referees cheat the smaller clubs. Even the idiots on the BBC questioned several of his decisions today... each one was in favour of catalan. He wasn't the reason we lost but how many times over the last 10 seasons has anyone on here seen a penalty reversed for rushing in... I'll bet never.

If that's the case why are we signing backs?

I would guess it maybe cheaper to take loan signings than pull a player off furlough onto the payroll? Could be that Ken is paying Senior's wage in return for a guarantee of regular 1st team action.?

Oh! I hadn't realised that we lost 0-58 last week until the team of commentators told us...................about 10 times!!! And, would you believe it, but in the opening sequence we even had a shot of Don Fox missing THAT goal. The poor lad.
