Unless you believe in miracles the only future for Wakefield Trinity is part time players playing in the championship ground sharing with Dewsbury. The name might survive but Belle Vue and Rugby in the city will just be history. I expect Wakefield will become the only city in the country without a full time professional sports team.

Anderson Paea Ashurst Kirke Kirmond Collis Hall Owen all missing and the reason IMO we lost by 40 and not 4 is we were playing Saints and not Hull ! and we have played the top 4 teams in the last few weeks with a patched up team. We would have struggled with a full team against these sides let alone the one we have been putting out. Having said this our Fitness/Conditon is far inferior to other teams IMO.

As a club, we're done.

Unfortunately this is how I feel about the current dire situation.

Webster 'we're not big enough down the middle' is getting tiring....Last night he had these in the pack...Scruton (6ft 1 17 stone), Kavanagh (6ft 2 17 stone), Dan Smith (6ft 2 17 stone), Jon Molloy (6ft 1 16 stones), Mickael Simon (6 ft 2 16 1/2 stone), Ali Lauitiiti (6 ft 3 tall 18 stones), Matt Ryan (6ft 5 tall, 16 stones).....It seems to suggest that he would like to sign yet another prop forward and probably try to off load Sammut who has turned into another Mellars type signing....

Going back to basics for defensive coaching a team in mid season that had a full pre season to sort out their defensive structures.

Bang on.
Our defence hasn't been right for 4 years.
Yes, we've done ok in some games but, the problem has been there for some time.
There is certainly a lack of the collective team ethos and far too often players are looking at each other, instead of covering for each other.

I'm no Salford fan but, whatever Tim Sheens instilled in them a few weeks ago has certainly worked and even without many of their first choice
players, they are working as a team. We on the other hand are not.

Webster has adopted a losing mentality and it clearly shows with our performances. 496 points against in 12 games says everything.

Let's hope that we are saving ourselves for the cup !

Very hard not to agree with this, apart from the negativity at the top bit. I think Carter and his colleague have been very positive in most things, although like many now, I do think giving JW such a long contract was folly.

How long do we have the privilege of playing in the dilapidated stadium - what happens when our time is up there?

10 SL defeats in a row. An 80-0 hammering. Conceding an average of over 40 points a game.
Yep, Webster must go for me. Nice bloke but out of his depth.

Re: Miller at loose forward! : Sat May 02, 2015 7:50 am  

Well at least Hull K.R will be happy. 10 tries against us next week will bring their confidence back and will be back on track to challenge for the 8.

How did miller play at full back? They said he played well on the radio, is he a better FB than a 6?

He is a runner rather than a play maker so it just might be a more suitable position for him. His tackling is atrocious but then so is Hall's, (and the rest of the team).

I don't know how many posters went last night but this is how I saw it,we would not have won the game but the score would've been 18 points less if the fool in the middle and the old man with a flag could see.At 20.4 down Riley had a opportunity to score,I thought he had but ruled knock on.Should have been 20.10 wether it was a knock on or not,Sts went up field and scored.Regarding watching the tries on your Telly in your front room,a lot came from mind boggling decisions.I personally thought we did ok and Miller had a good game at FB,Tom Jhonstone had a good game with a performance above his years We need to be more creative in front of the sticks and hold them down in the tackle longer like others do but we'd get penalized probably.All of the Wakey fans I spoke to last night after the game said the same,so the radio judgement of a game dos'nt wear with me
