Losing isn’t a problem providing we learn from it. Full time team , injuries and sweltering heat … all helped to show our weaknesses . We def need a half back going forward …. Kay isn’t the answer , Gale struggled today … tbf they all did , and not convinced Lino would have made that much difference . We need to be sorted for the run in and the vital last game .

We need a fb who can tackle too and play when rushed

The problem with losing in the Championshio when you are full time and spending a SL player budget is it creates an element of doubt in the squad that other teams will now see as a weakness, other teams will now smell blood, you find after the first defeat you will have a few more, it has happened so much Featherstone we’re well known for it.

Could be a tricky Grand Final mind if it's Toulouse .

Well Wakefield won't be playing if the GF is in Toulouse and they're a different side on the road.

It's ridiculous that the final is played at anyone's home ground to be honest, but that's another discussion.

Re: Toulouse game : Sat Jul 20, 2024 6:32 pm  

Haven't seen the game, but it would appear to be the culmination (hopefully) of a steady decline in team performance since the "high" of the 1895 final. Ok, we've had injury problems, but the teams that we've put out, including today's, should be capable of beating Toulouse.
Tiredness should not be an excuse for a full-time professional sports team.
We have arguably the three finest wingers in the Championship, and I particularly noticed in the Dewsbury and Batley games that none of the wingers received a pass other than when they were carrying out the initial drives in a set. What a waste!
Hopefully today's hiccup will be the last and we're back to winning ways next Sunday.

The problem is we are likely getting Russell and Trueman

Who's going to come that is good enough to improve us but knows they won't get a gig next year.

Well the rules regarding the comp aren't something we control Boxer and I reckon you'd not complain about hosting the Grand Final at Odsal if you won the league .

I wonder if you would be saying that if Bradford were top of the league by a landslide, I'm guessing not.

Re: Toulouse game : Sat Jul 20, 2024 6:51 pm  

We have 10 games left seven at home and three away. We do panic, it was unlikely that we would go all season undefeated in the league. We lose and it’s, this player needs to be replaced. If we finish first and reach the Grand Final then our prize is to play at home.
