Simpson was awful! gifted Wakefield 2 tries alone with his errors.
Brierley is a work in progress, didn't expect a lot from him today.

Without being picky but any Wakey player could have and would have dithered over Howarths kick, that's what we do, so expect Simpson to be a Wakey player soon!
As for the other try he 'gifted', if it's Johnstone's 2nd, you need to look at the first 3 he ran through.
Brierley looked lost, can rip it up in the Championship but has he got a big enough character to stand up to Brough when he does something wrong, because if he doesn't shape up Brough will let him know.

Brierley will be a work in progress, we should know more in the next few months, today was more about getting him some match fitness i think.

Fair enough but like a lot of people on here like to give Howarth stick, I like to come back with a mid season report and am happy to be proved wrong.

Brierley won't cut it in Super League. Trust me. Simply not good enough.
Miller has the raw makings of a SL half back, weather he will be coached into his full potential is another story. Finn is just what it says on the tin, can win games, can be a bystander.
For us to kick on and be serious top 8'ers we need a Ben Roberts, a player we were linked with but missed out on.
Hopefully Chester has his eyes on someone of the like. We need to break the bank.

No we don't - are you Andrew Glover or James Elston?

So after one win you want us to spend what little (if any) money we have left, and your the one in despair?!

Break the bank no, spend a good amount yes. It's no good giving our competitors the upper hand when it comes to signings , a quality signing can make all the difference. We need to look at the bigger picture and look to sign key players in key positions. . Widnes got brown to build a team around and the process didn't happen overnight .Warrington new half back pair look like they have played together for years and that was at the expense of shipping a very good s/ h out. It's about having a vision of what player would match in. I REALISE we are not in the position of Warrington but things can not be done on the cheap. Hopefully J K so arrival will relieve M C from talent spotting.

Thought Finn had his best game in a Wakefield shirt did some really good stuff.

I agree.
It had something to do with go forward of the pack but also seems to be Chester's influence. Hope that continues.
