Basically when we got ball in their twenty we were driven pack and virtually every set they were going length of field . When we received we generally made no ground on first 3 tackles

We seem to back to walking on a tightrope. Slashing the playing budget is only going to take us one way.

That was dire. Our go forward was non-existant, the creativity amounted to sling it wide and hope for the best and the hooking position is a major problem. Sorry but Kay tries hard in that position and has a half decent scoot but his distribution just doesn’t have that snap required and his tackling in the middle of the field lacks bite. And the less said about some of our discipline the better. We had everything in our favour going into this and yet all Huddersfield had to do was the basics to beat us. Fair play to them they deserved the two points but we are in a deep hole right now.

Home form not good enough. My lad hit the nail on the head by saying Hudds played the ref like a fiddle slowing our game down well done to them tactics spot on. We hardly moved off our line to meet them resulting in Hudds making far more yards. As said our pack is getting mullered every game. Big games coming up so let's see what they have to offer us

I genuinely think this Wakefield team has much more things to worry about than a promising 19 year old winger making a couple of errors tonight, he does a lot more good than bad! The fact we struggled to get out of our 30 for 75% of the game is the major concern. Their team was littered with young forwards dominating our first string pack. Genuinely really worried after watching that, I’ve never seen a Wakefield forward pack look so weak in my time of watching. All the players are clearly giving 100% but it’s simply not good enough, we need more quality adding or we are in a dog fight at the bottom ....... again.

Well he outplayed Johnstone tonight and infact 90% of the team at 19 years of age. Credit where credit is due, he has real quality, he’s not Josh Addo- Carr, but nobody has made him out to be, it’s just nice to see us producing a very good promising player. He clearly had a lot to learn

I agree. I thought he had a good game. I didn't even notice his mistake as Tom made far more and they were significant.

Completely agree…worrying times. Something urgently needs to be done.

Re: V Hudds Thurs 28th April at home. : Thu Apr 28, 2022 9:36 pm  

I have Covid so couldn’t go. Sky commentators said at least three times that the May 3rd transfer window has some relevance. I don’t think there is much space left for one but that may be the final nail in the head when chip shop rumours start.
We were shiiiiite in many areas again.

Well that’s it. Our pack as it stands wouldn’t even be the best in the championship, so how are we supposed to compete and lay platforms in SL. The club have completely got it wrong with recruitment, I’m sorry but they have. Getting rid of both Woods and replacing with Hood and Kay is clearly, we are getting mullered around the ruck every game by half decent hookers. Bringing in Gaskell when we have Brad Walker rotting in the reserves, absolute joke. Whitbread is doing ok, but we need an enforcing forward to compliment Fifita, as all the opposition defence does is swarm on him as he’s our only go to forward.
