We tried really hard but we have no class.

That sums it up for me, i and many others said if we got 100% effort and pride in the shirt we'd be content.


A long season ahead for us all.

Lots of huff and puff from a young team who never gave up against a bigger Salford outfit.
Yes we lacked the spark at halfback but it was a good effort.


As for 5 drives and a kick what the bloody hell do we expect in the conditions champagne rugby throwing the ball around get a grip.

Can’t see why King and Harvey did not play myself and disappointed with Smith but it’s only his first game great effort from Rinaldi, Johnson & Gledhill.

Please let’s stick by the lads this season win lose or draw and give the club time to get some size into the pack and a bit more class at halfback we will be ok but it is no good moaning when the likes of Leeds Sts and Wire give us a good hiding it will happen and we have to live with it.

My only real disappointment even with the rain was the attendance 6800 let down yet again by the public of Wakefield and the internet experts and a couple of idiots I was near who said it was the worst Wakefield side in living memory

6-16 down at HT so far looking like a good job I didn't go. I was tempted by the £10 offer but I stand by my words of not watching Wakey under Kear.

What a pathetic thing to say! Go and watch Leeds or Bradford, your not fit to be called a Wakefield fan...

Can't argue with that - a gutsy performance, but we lacked some creativity and the ability to finish.

Le Barbu was our man of the match by a country mile, with good performances from Johnson, Gledhill and Morro. Penny had a good game, until the last ten minutes.

No idea in the halves..
Hopefully JK will give Harvey a game next week...
Gledhill and Rinaldi stood out for me today...
And im sorry to his fanclub but Korkidas is a waste of space...

i agree no creativety in the halfs thought it was a gutsy effort by all the first 10 mins did the damage for me dont bother apoligising to korkis fan club they have heard you bag player befor and i am sure they are use to it get behind the team together we are stronger

Re: today's game : Sun Feb 27, 2011 6:31 pm  

I saw a poor Super League side beat a fair Championship side today. Unfortunately Ted's strategy of reducing the wage bill resulted in us signing players that are not up to the best of Super League and consequently we have a team that would go okay in the Championship but is going to be badly exposed at SL.

Not having a go at the players as I think they tried but there is no substitute for quality and class and unfortunately we lack that where it matters most at half back. It was noticeable that as we were getting beat by an increasing margin the fans never once got on the players backs.

As I said I cannot fault the effort of the players they flogged their hearts out no one more than Morrison. They will improve with experience but I'm afraid there are some big defeats coming and we'd better get used to it. I won't have a go as long as they are putting the effort in.

Andrew Glover seems a good guy and I will give him 100% support but I fear he will not be able to undue the damage caused by Ted, certainly not this season and perhaps never, but the blame won't be on his shoulders.

Re: today's game : Sun Feb 27, 2011 6:32 pm  

Plenty of effort but as already has been said, we just lack that attacking spark to create anything. Having said that i think Tommy Lee played well as did Frankie Mariano.

sums it up really

Re: today's game : Sun Feb 27, 2011 6:47 pm  

Gledhill actually played 60 mins for the 20's yesterday followed by 60 mins today for the first team. Thought he went really well today along with Frankie Mariano who I thought was our best player.

Bet he sleeps tonight!!
