All I’ve managed to find so far press conference wise is this:

‘Wakefield coach Chris Chester admitted: “It was another disappointing loss, another game where we put in a lot of effort, but [there was] a lack of quality in the team.”’

More of the same spiel.

That’ll help motivate them again. If you keep telling a player that they aren’t good enough then eventually that will become their mindset. This might explain some of the issues we are seeing.

He said basically the team keep making the same mistakes, they lack quality, plenty of effort and we are about to turn the corner.
With regards the team anyone watching his coaching master class (which could be open for debate) that we sign grade C players because that is all we can afford or maybe sometimes B- if lucky.

Doesn't help when there's quality not in the 17 in Brad Walker.
Don't know what he's done wrong or why we've signed him.
2 years of his RL career wasted, a bit like George King!

We don’t like negative statistics ... but we have lost our first six games for the first time in our RL history... https://mobile.twitter.com/TrinityHerit ... 8834609153 Record breaker

Let us not forget we are about to turn the corner.

It's specifically the first 6 games of the season, including cup games (even against lower league opposition) I think you need to take into account the teams we have played this year - exclusively all in last year's top 6. (only missing Warrington) It would be interesting to know if we've ever played only top 6 teams in the first 7 fixtures before? Edit: and 6 out of the 7 away from home

It's very debatable if we would have fared better against last season bottom six teams!
There are no easy games in SL and I just don't know where our first win is coming from.

We will see when we play them. My point is, it's too early to make a judgement on this season when we've only played top sides, almost exclusively away from home. You can point to the results and the way we've collapsed at times during the games, but the reality is we maybe should have beaten Leeds, we could have beaten Hull FC and even last night, had Kay's try been awarded and we'd gone in front with 10 to go, I would have expected us to win. We were looking pretty dominant up to that point in the 4th quarter.
We seem mentally fragile with errors and periods of lack of concentration or direction. Scoring from pressure also seems to be an issue, but we've played some teams with excellent defences. I still think we're short of on-field leaders to rally the troops and keep the focus during a game.

Too early....you say we lost to good top sides yes on paper we did but are leeds playing well NO did they have alot of injuries YES like i said in my previous post leeds have won 2 of there last 8 both against us.i also feel the hull game was a game we should of won they played a extra time game with only 4 full days to recover.i really admire how positive you are i tried to be for last night game tipping us to win but sadly i was wrong .think where now in a postion we mustwin at least 1 of our next 2 games can i see that happening..no
