Really. What user name would that be then. Go on, enlighten me with your fountain of knowledge.

I haven’t gone away, and was not bullied. I was fed up of all the personal agendas by some on here. I continue to follow it, though, as believe it or not, I do actually care about the club. Also, I have other pursuits too, nowadays which is taking up more of my time, so I don’t get the chance to read every post, and comment if needs be.

We had a poster on here that worked for the club and was far from complimentary about how things were been run, as usual he was bullied off the forum by the usual positivity brigade.

Just to be clear, it was the poster above what said that, I was merely explaining to him if that helps, As for your other user name do I believe you have one, of course I do or I wouldn't allude to it, do I give a toss behave yourself, it was only mentioned in the context of Homme Vaste's post, If your other pursuit includes taking up your time on RW&B you fill your boots fella, Oh and fwiw I notice you weren't logged on less than half an hour ago, just curious as it happens.

Tbf, CC didn't know that the speed and style of the game was going to change because of covid, when he signed them.

There was no covid 2 year ago when we went overboard with signing old injury prone players .We have been playing slow unattractive rugby for the last 3 years so we were behind the rest of S L for fast hope rugby then ,so you can see why he is out of a depth as a S L coach now

I’m not logged on 24/7, but have been today, but also have my own business, and have been doing the books for the month of July today. I also have involvement with the setup of a business overseas now, too, which is taking up time. Added into that, a wife who was taken ill, on a girlie holiday with friends after having her drink spiked. Yeah I’m really going to be logged in and commenting on a sport, and a team that as much as I care, I have no control of

Hope your wife is feeling better now Eastern. That's horrible that her drink was spiked.

Happened last Saturday night, and I got the flight over Sunday morning.

Yes, we’re back home now, she will recover, but fell heavily and hit her head on the pavement.

It’ shook her up, she has massive swelling and black eye. Wake up call indeed, and a lesson to all, stick together

From the BBC website...

Wakefield coach Chris Chester:

"You should never lose a game from a position like that. There were things on a rugby field I've not seen for a long time. Some of them were not brave enough, that's the scary part. We started to creak in the first half and the second half was abysmal.

"Some of these players just aren't good enough. Some are struggling with the intensity and the pace of the game. We are embarrassed by that second-half performance.

"Maybe some of these guys looked at the teamsheet and thought they were in for an easy game. There are a lot of good young kids at Huddersfield and they brought some real energy. We weren't tough enough as a group."

Well that should help motivate the team, how would anyone feel if the person in charge blames you for his failings. I doubt Fifita dropping the ball would be the reason for the defeat that was due to once again not being able to score for 70 minutes. I cannot believe the players would be happy with his constant berating of their performances.

It appears to be a growing problem both at home and abroad. It is so difficult to keep a drink in view at all times. I hope last nights result gave her a boost even though the game itself would not have been good for the cardiovascular system.

They're probably not, but they bloody well deserve it. How many of those players yesterday would you say had a good game or played to their ability level???
For me there are very few who could hold their heads up high after that - Jowitt and Kay are probably the only ones that I thought deserved any credit.

I agree that Chester needs to shoulder some of the blame but where is the personal pride from the players? I saw at least 10 of them out there yesterday that I know could and should have put in more effort. Yes, it is Chesters job to motivate them but if they're not willing to work for the team or each other then he's fighting a losing battle before he even starts.

I disagree, whilst I think there is maybe a few players not pulling there weight on the whole I now feel sorry for the playing group, in the second half we had 2 sets on there line where which just consisted of Fififta and Hampshire running side to side like you would see in a under 8`s game.

They have have no structure to work to, no plan B when pressed, no confidence in the man either side of them, nothing to work with, I genuinely believe if you replace that team man for man 1 to 17 with KRs and have Chester coach them for the last year, they would look the same. I was done blaming the players a year ago when every week its a different player, there's on common denominator here, players come in and look great they progressively get worse the longer they are at the club.

Batch is a prime example of it happening right now, I genuinely believe he is one of the most promising second rowers in the league, got dominated in every collision yesterday and right now is absolutely wasted in the front row, yet Chester believes he has found his best position? 2 or 3 more games before fans start bagging him.

big turning points in that game fafita dropping the drop out and Miller taking the kicking off rocky and he totally lost control of the game. Shambolic performance, baffling and simply not on, we should of caked walked that.
