Agree , but most worrying is it is not just the wingers ,it is all over the team We have had 5 attempts to get the 6 right in 12 games it is a disgrace .At home we are out of the game by half time most of the time .Great that Lino,and Max as signed for next year, but the Hood signing in a key position as got me worried that we are still going to go down the roof of old players ,and we have not learnt anything about a team of old men Would like to know how come a coach who as not won a game and is playing the worst rugby that is up there with any I have seen by a Wakefield team in 68 year of watching them .is still in a job

The worst thing about all this is that we seem "happy" to get through the season and be relegated.
Regardless of whether we will attain a good "B" rating, under the new IMG rules, this just isn't right.
We're now 0/13 and there is no sign of a "W".
Catalan away and the Leigh again for our next 2 games, which will take our streak to 15 games.
What is the bloody point

Yep. And 13 games in still none of our wingers have actually scored a try. That has to be some kind of rugby league record.

Even if it means a transfer fee I would be all over bringing Lachlan Walmsley to Trinity. He’s probably the best winger in championship and has pace and can find the line.

If Kay is fit next week for me he takes Taufua spot. I would probably stick with Lineham as tbh I think he’s been doing ok since he came back in.

Your doing it tough at the minute for sure, I’ve said on here before if you go down it’s not the end of the world, I’ve been through it with Leigh turning up to every game in 2021 hopeful of a win but to be beaten again by silly mistakes poor discipline and other fans constantly taking the pi**.

Use it as a chance to wipe the slate clean, clear any finances, and rebuild, A strong Wakefield in the Championship will surely attract players.

All is not lost yet, 2 wins and your in the mix with Castleford and having watched you both I think they are in more trouble.

The one thing I have learned over the last 10 years is make sure you have a quality coach. Lam for us has been amazing.

What you have currently is a decent coach and money, we have neither

I can’t help thinking that in a couple of years we could have had two of the best young centres in the game with two of the most exciting wingers outside them

Jowitt, Murphy, Hall, Pratt, Johnstone would be very tasty and all home grown

Did hospitality on Friday night and the food was good again!
Nice for it to be announced in there that Max has signed on for 2 more years....
Think we're going to need him.....
But - was torn between Belle Vue and Oakwell and only went as three of us had booked the hospitality (two mates from Wakey)....
I left at HT... Mates were quite shocked - but I asked them if they could honestly see us scoring 22 unanswered points to get back in the game?
Er no.
Caught the train and managed to watch most of the 2nd half of Barnsley in a pub in town....
Would never have done that before......
It's that bad for me.....

Re: Squad Vs Leigh : Tue May 23, 2023 9:14 am  

Felt pretty much the same, BG...watching Trin this season is a real chore, especially on Friday as it cost me £100 for 5 tickets for family members too !!
We could have had a much more enjoyable night out absolutely anywhere else for that kind of money

I agree. It's painful at times.

I keep telling myself it'll be all the more sweeter when we win.......but I'm starting to wonder if I'll be celebrating Christmas first.
