So so predictable. Kicked to death on the last tackles again. Very reminiscent of the Leeds home game. Remember that one Scott?

Wish this rain would have started a couple of hours ago would certainly have slowed play down a bit. Disappointed with today but if somebody would have said to me at the start of the season we would be in 5th at this stage I would have been thrilled. Can't fault the teams commitment and performances this season

Re: Don't mess up : Sun Jul 23, 2017 4:40 pm  

we messed up but I quite like our fixtures. Lynn was horrendous today heart size of a fart. Sts were excellent tho

Re: Don't mess up : Sun Jul 23, 2017 4:41 pm  

Very disappointed with that perforfance to be honest.

Very flat all round given the significance of the result. It had been built up by the club, only to get a performance like this.

Yet another game where the last tackle kicks were abysmal.Agree a kick is only as good as the chase but when we dont kick into space that cliche becomes irellevant. I will give Williams some praise, as I felt he was continually probing and asking questions of their defence near the line.

We also missed far too many tackles giving them far tok many metres.

Wilzay was spot on about it not been a goid advert to encourage the stay aways to come back.

People can perform their own post mortems on our performance to day but you have to hand it to the Saints they were better in every department. If they continue like that throughout the play offs I can easily see them in the Grand Final.

I agree.
We made some mistakes and a couple of decisions went against us but in the end Sts were better than us. No shame in that.
I thought the young scrum half had a blinder.

HOME
Leeds
Wigan
Saints
AWAY
Hudds
Salford
Hull
Cas

5th Place but still level on points with 4th and only 1 point behind 3rd. Not sure what to make of the fixtures to be honest. Think I'd rather face Leeds, Wigan, Saints at home than away. Salford and Hudds away should not hold any fear for us given how we've played this season. Away at Hull is tough but winnable. Cas away is another tough game but it's not impossible.

You'd also hope that given the 3 home games we have got it would be better for revenue than Hudds and Salford at home.

Regroup and let's go again!!!

KingStreetCat sums it up, 6-24 down and we fail to score right on half time.
We had been poor, with no ball but still could have been within touching distance, especially when we scored straight after half time.
Saints squeezed us down the middle like Salford did in the Cup.
Saints line speed was too quick for us to get our leisurely passing out to the backs.

4th would have given us virtually the same but with Cas + an extra game at home which MC reckonned was worth >£70k. Lets not underplay the financial enormity of today's disaster.

Choked on the big occasion again. Absolutely gutted. And despite our best season in years less than 6k there to see it including a healthy Saints following, seems to me the wider Wakefield public couldn't give a monkeys chuff about the club.
