It's stating the obvious saying we need to replace the players who have left. I'm sure they are working on it to make sure they get the right players in.

That's Salford who had half a side out. As for improved line speed, chasing back, tackling and work rate it's a given for a professional player. Nothing to earn extra praise for.

Think Salford had a bit more class on the field than Wakefield. Evalds, Chase, Paterson, Fages, Taylor and Hansen (ask Annakin!) wouldn't be out of place in any Super League side. How many of ours would even be wanted by Salford?

Salford forum said this was the best side they'd put out in ages.

We lost at home to the second worst team in super league who were also on a long losing run. The squad is too small and if we do not recruit to replace those we let go then those that played today both good and bad will be in the squad again next week. We can all look at the positives but this was a game any other season that we would have been disappointed to lose which suggests our levels of expectations this season are so low we will literally accept anything.
With regards replacements the club's situation is so bad that some of you would be happy for us to recruit anybody providing it is a body and they know how to put a Wakefield shirt on. We need good players to replace those that have left not just the cheap alternatives like Howarth.

State The blindingly obvious make it totally negative Forget about the positives bag howarth The guys that's done nothing wrong in my opinion. What players would you sign and wherefrom at this stage of the season

Our tackling was much better but we had to do too much of it due to the same old mistakes, panic plays, cheap penalties and poor last tackle options.

A bit more composure and thought today and it could have been a long awaited win.

Thought Simon was MOM by a mile.

Out of interest, who are the seven players missing from the Salford line-up?

I know Dobson wasn’t available & Tommy Lee (but he’s hardly Cam Smith)

Who else?

Re: Improvement? : Sun Jun 14, 2015 9:01 pm  

Today was much as expected.
A vastly improved "team" effort and players trying damned hard to win a game of RL.

We have lost our last however many games in SL and most by blowout scores so there was a definite improvement !

Tiny steps and next week we will be better again.

I don't expect victory next week but, hopefully we can run les Cats close.

To be fair to them they had four players that were named in their 19 man squad that pulled out through injury so it wasn't as strong as expected.

So if all those players had been available who would have been dropped?

Evalds?
Josh Griffin?
Logan Tomkins?

You can't play 'em all.
