Gaskell has a suspected torn pec so it's time for Smith to step up. Langi failed his HIA so won't be available next week. I guess Hall will make his return.

Do not think Gaskell played half of last season because of injury ,Missed last 10 games for Huddersfield before he joined us ,some say he was injured ,some say the coach had dropped him as not been good enough So know surprise he is injured again .So why did we make him our main 6 .Smith played 6 in the second half and looked as bad if not worse .As loads of fans have said ,this as got to be the worst attack down at Wakefield for years and my thought is it could be the worse team. Just going to home matches now to watch the shirts play .Next away game for me is Hudds even if we have not one a match I have done wasting 5 or 6 hours of my time going to away matches to watch the kind of crap we are playing this season .Though our coaches think it is Super League rugby

Maybe the parachute payment will help clear any outstanding loans but for me, times up. 60 years is a good shift. I’m not going to sit on seats in the cold and rain with a crap view of crap for fifty quid. Nothing has changed. You can’t win a game without a good scrum half and a mean prop for starters. We have naff all to offer the game at the moment. Whose bright idea was Friday nights with reduced attendances? Absolutely fed up of dross year after year.

Still not sure if it's too early to post as last night hurt like hell.
Having gone 3 games without registering a point, it's crystal clear that we have ZERO creativity.
We had enough ball in Leeds 20, especially in the first half, to win 3 games and yet we were utterly clueless.

Well done for those who made the short trip over to Leeds but, based on our opening 4 games, we are staring down the barrel (already)..
Our defence was ok in the first half but, deary me, we were bloody awful with ball in hand.

Too slow, especially in the halves and not enough umph in the pack.

We cleared out all of our top earners last season and have replaced each one with someone of inferior ability and to improve, we needed to sign better or equal to what we had.

Losing Murphy is obviously a huge blow but, with the passible exception of Kershaw, we're just too slow in everything that we do.

Leeds lifted their line speed after the break and it killed us.

Unless we can find a quality HB an a Fifita style prop and persuade them to come to Wakefield, we're screwed

Said that to who I went with last night.....
Said that if that had been saints or wire they would have been 18-0 up.
That is the disappointing and frustrating thing as the defence in the 1st half was excellent.

I accepted last May/June that if, by some miracle, we stayed up given how we were playing, 2023 would be just a rinse and repeat and we'd face the same old poop again. We are not sustainable at this level and it's really no fun anymore.

It's never any fun. The final hooter can never come soon enough, win or lose.

Coming away from Headingley last night was on a par with dozens of other walk aways that I won't even bother listing. The Grix incident still haunts me even though we were in play off contention!

I agree, the forwards and outside backs are doing the business but the pivots can’t break a paper bag open in the opposition 10/20 or with kicks.

I would have most of this week the full playing squad running plays and drills on the opposition 10/20 running 13 v 13 and coming up with various plays till their feet hurt. Then repeat running and memorising them.

We completely lack ideas and practice makes perfect.

Sounds like a plan. The problem is how do you get a old team to put as much effort in to the second half ,as we do the first .The way they faid,in the second half is frightening The attack so far this season goes from poor to go garbage in the second half

Do you not think that is a sign of a team that is tiring, just slowing play down ,miss timing tackels ,getting pulled for offside.That is all i saw in the second half We did the same the week before ,very little play in the opponent's half in the second half

Just watched sL Show. Need to get up to date with information. When going through team sheet said Reece Lyne was back with Lewis Murphy missing out!

Isn’t that true though? Lyne did return and Murphy did miss out?

Injured before and during the game we have to my knowledge: Jowitt, Murphy, Bowden, Kalepi, Bowes and the loss of Langi, Gaskell at half time.

Be good if Bowes is back this week so Smith can move to halfback.

Anybody know when Bowden is back?
