There were a lot of Wakefield platers that deserve a shout out today.
Kelepi got man of the match and rightly so. Had a big game from back row and centre.
I thought Kopczak, Green and Tangata all played really well. Kopi looks like a captain to me. And I'd sign the other two. England tried but he's coming to the end of his time I think.
Lyne got us some hard yards when we were struggling today.
And Escare was our most potent weapon after Kelepi. He made a couple of mistakes but also made a try out of nothing and looked likely to break all the time. I think he has a lot to do with our defense improving.

I think a mention ought to go to Danny K, played the full 80 (I think) and did some graft.

Yep, full 80 and ran his blood to water.
I thought that Tangianoa and Tangata were outstanding, especially with the "extra" minutes that they had to play due to injuries.
Certainly no lack of effort and we are playing as a team again.
There was some awful lack of organisation on last tackle plays and some terrible dropped ball in the first half, which is where the game was probably lost but, the effort was excellent. Miller too has rolled his sleeves up.

Yeah can't fault his effort since his recent return to the team. If only he didn't give those needless penalties away. What was the point of that headlock on the last tackle, with about 3 minutes to go, when we needed the ball not gifting another set?

Tanginoa has been the signing of the season.

Re: The Players : Mon Sep 02, 2019 9:11 am  
IF ONLY IF ONLY !!!!

This thread sums up our situation perfectly. We only need one player, a decent half back who can read the game, quickly adapt to the match situation and provide leadership to the group. WE HAVE THE PLAYERS TO PLAY AROUND ONE.

I don't know our plans for next season, but to me the wages of aging players like Westerman and Atkins are a waste of money. We ought to try and get the best half back available and then decide to use what is left to spend on others.

Perfect example are Salford, man for man I would say we are a better squad, however they have the one man that makes all the difference. If we had the services of Jacckson Hastings for a full season instead of brough/Miller I can speculate we would be fighting at the top of the table and not the bottom.

It's just a question of money. I'm sure Chester would love Jackson Hastings but that's out of our league.
To be honest he's out of Salford's too. That's why they can't keep him.

I do appear to be picking fault but we can’t afford him now but Salford took the gamble with his problems in the NRL to sign him. I doubt it would have been that high a price at the time because Salford were not exactly cash rich and he had few options available.

I agree about Tanginoa especially, he's been very consistent since he came, he certainly should be used mainly in the second row and only at prop in an emergency. Tangata will hopefully get better the more he plays at this level, and I think Green is better than Hirst. I doubt we will sign Escare for next year, so I suppose it would be Walker at full back with Jowitt in reserve. I think the forwards have stood up the last few games, and we have improved in some areas, but we are still making the same errors though! The game yesterday kind of summed up the whole season, very up and down and all a bit frantic at times, but it looks likely with London losing yesterday we are gonna survive by the skin of our teeth. I think some serious soul searching and looking in the mirror from the coaching staff and the players is needed in the off season, or it could well be a repeat of this year. :roll:

Re: The Players : Mon Sep 02, 2019 6:54 pm  
I think how we've played over the last few weeks, Well defended, is papering over the cracks. Chester keeps saying "I couldn't ask anymore of these guys they worked hard" which is true BUT........... there's more to rugby than defending we've got to learn to attack he seems oblivious to the point that we've no cohesion up front no planned moves or anything. I think there's too much of a my pal situation for anything to change next season
