Player power and consultation with senior members of the team saw Poching not offered a new contract.

The team did not feel like they were being coached and certain players pretty much took things into their own hands at the back end of last season.

As said Mr Carter takes bad advice W Poaching had been around T Smith for a long time Guess he new what he was doing The fitness lvl seemed a lot higher than this season from day one .How many of the players who complained have left Would have been good to watch him rebuild the team ,though he was doing a good job my self and brining in younger players,

I don’t think he did in relation to us and nothing with regards the pitch but that could be because they won.

No but I see the media were purposefully taking photos of players legs at the game to generate an after game story. They took pictures of Proctor and Taufua knees.

It’s 3 week till we play on it next so I would imagine it will continue to improve.

Liam Hood doesn’t have to be “quick at hooker”. Not every number 9 is going to be a Damien Cook / Daryl Clark type of player.

Hood dictates the pace of our attack with his intelligence and accuracy in passing. Plus he’s dominant in defence and helps balance our efforts when the likes of Atoni et al are blowing up.

You could name 20 things wrong with our squad but Hood isn’t one of them.

Hello Mr Hood

The fact that you see a good player like Smith fluffing his lines at acting halfback shows how good Hood is.

Think it is more down to Smith not been a S L player ,one more bad signing from what I have seen . First time I have watch players at Wakefield and know who ever plays the standed will be poor with ball in hand. Going to Leeds to see if we can score a try

I don't agree but as a team we do need to get our attack more in tune.
We panic too quickly a rush things when a bit of composure would get us the trys.

I think Smith just needs to get used to the pace and pressure of Super League. He seems to do the dumb play or offload that might have been ok in the championship but get punished at SL level.
