Need to sort our markers out at the ptb, very poor and lazy at KR, giving easy metres with alarming regularity.

Hopefully, Shudds will have one or both eyes on their cup semi final

Messing about at the PTB and giving penalties away is unprofessional and has cost us.
Standing back and allowing 18 stone forwards to gather speed and batter you while you stand still is surely harder than meeting them before they get that momentum. This is a basic error and has been a Wakefield way for years. Teams like Saints are much smarter than us. There are often calls for offside but most times they aren't - they're just quicker than us.

I get what you are saying but even taking jnto consideration the drama queen reaction from some, Wildthing has it bang on.
If they'd even posted on one form of media I'd have given them a break but for no presence at all. That's really poor.

Saying that, Huddersfield posted for the first time about the game 4 hours ago. But we earn money off people coming to the stadium. And being on TV its going to be quiet.

Notice on the Facebook site that Verity the commercial manager has just given birth.

Not trying to points score nor did I know but that might explain the gap in info if others are covering what is a very important job.

Congrats to Verity by the way

I agree but, it was the markers falling asleep that I was referring to, with the opposition dummy half making easy metres because our markers weren't concentrating.

Or just picks up the ball and scores.

WP says Dave is back in the 17, but I won’t believe it until I see it.

Given his ability it was probably deliberate. I understand they are going to appeal again to see if they can get it raised to 4 games.

Am sure the coaches don't see it this way otherwise would be shipped back to oz as Davey has enough financial resources

I cant remember the last time o brien played a game where he wasn't taken off part way through with a head knock. Seems to be a regular occurrence with him recently.
You can keep sicknote Gaskell. Great player when he's on song, and he will probably play a blinder against us on Thursday - but he let us down far too often last minute for my liking.

It will be interesting to see where he plays (assuming that he makes the 17).

Re: V Hudds Thurs 28th April at home. : Wed Apr 27, 2022 2:28 pm  

Jools like you, most Wakefield fans do not want him near the team sick note is a good name for him ,Hopefully he will not be any way near the 17
