Re: Extraordinary bad luck..BUT PROUD OF US!!! : Fri Sep 15, 2017 11:33 am  
Last week, I was totally gutted that we had found a way to lose a game that we could and should have won.
Last night, we gave FC (probably the most powerful side in SL) one hell of a dig and to go behind and yet find a way to score and be withing inches of getting a draw, wes a stunning effort.
Yes, we pulled up short but, what a great effort from 1 - 17.

It was an enjoyable game and to go toe to toe with a full strength FC, on their own patch, with the ref "helping" them, was superb.

IF RL was like that every week, we truly would have "the best game in the world" and I'm more than happy to follow a team anywhere to watch that level of passion and commitment.

Just on a side note, just how high did Foruna leap to collect the cross field kick to score.
Even though it was a try against us, the pure athleticism was a joy to witness.
For a guy of that size to get 5ft+ off the ground was a great effort.

Also, Grix played a faultless 80 mins and showed his doubters that he is indeed a quality player, top effort.

Barring a freak set of results in other games, our chance for glory has gone but, a win against Wigan will be the right way to finish, what has been, a great season.

Top season from Wakefield. Punched well above your weight all season. Cant see you repeating it next season but well done for this year.

Lebron James that's exactly what we like . Lets hope more think the same so we can stuff em when we hit the top four.
We are in a good spot and don't think I would change it with any club for the coming season.

The jump was impressive but his landing even more so. He came down on one leg with ballerina-like balance.

No reason why we shouldn't be even better next season. We should have a fully fit Tom Johnstone back and as far as I know more or less the same team. Haven't been able to say that in donkeys years!

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

10 games this season have had a scoreline within 4 points, wakey have only won 2 of them. The experience to close out games can only come from playing in close games, they're improving week on week, but this season is probably a stretch too far. The worry will not be if Wakefield can achieve close wins, the worry will be for other teams around them when they do. Wakey have still scored the 2nd highest amount this year, and with the first choice winger (MoS young player 2016) missing for most of the season the form will improve on his return. It's a steady build from the MPG 2 years ago

What a ridiculous statement, do you have a crystal ball? Why can't we repeat it next season? As earlier posters have said we'll have TJ back next year and more signings, I think we'll be better not worse off

- Fifita was half pushed/half dragged - could have gone either way - disappointing that we couldn't get additional players in there to help stop his momentum.
- The Arona penalty was blatantly the incorrect call - He was committed to the tackle and hit the man as he kicked the ball.
- The BJB incident - players were offside but were more than 10m away from BJB when he first touched the ball so no issue with that. I haven't watched again to see if he knocked on or not.

The other one for me that was dubious was the tackle on Thompson? where the ball came out and MCB picked it up and would have been away but for the referee deciding that the tackle was complete as his elbow touched the floor. Very harsh call IMO. Compare with the incident later in the game where Sneyd (I think) was tackled about 20 yards out then got loose and ref waved play on. For me they were either both "tackle complete" or neither were - you can't give one and not the other.

Call it bad luck or whatever but last week we hit the upright and the ball bounced out - we lose by 2 points, this week Sneyd hits the upright and it goes over - they win by one point. We just needed one of those two moments to go our way.

It is not over just yet though - Get Grixy on the phone to his ex-Hudds team mates calling in any favours he can, likewise Finny with Cas. If they both go our way then we will have one more chance next week. If not then, hold your heads up high boys, you've done a remarkable job this season and I can't wait to see what we can do next year.


Red, White and Blue and damn PROUD of it!!!


He didn't knock on :evil:
At first glance it looked like a knock on every day of the week, but on the replays you can see that it only comes off his foot, so when Hull knocked it on 5 seconds later, it should have been our scrum and not their try !!!!
Gutted.....but proud !!
