Why not can't be any worse!
But not the Tony Smith at KR, he's rubbish and doesn't know what he's doing!

I didn’t expect us to win but the way we turn the ball other and gift penalties and 6agains we don’t give ourselves a chance.

Up the Trin

If you mean Brian Smith is brother, he is the one that got us into this mess If he had not left a Wakefield team that was so fit Mr Chester would not have been able to live off the basic of that team for 3 years

I never thought I'd say this, but I've followed the club over 50 years and turned off the commentary mid way through second half. I'm very quickly losing interest in attending or listening to games.

Same here. 1963, I was 10 years old and watching the cup final on the telly. I was hooked from that point on and I have never, never felt as despondent about the club as I do at the moment. I actually stopped listening at half time, I just knew what was going to happen cos it happens in 90 per cent of the games we play. The sad and worrying thing is that Im not really bothered.

There has to be something in this, as the player's weren't happy getting up at 6 to train.
It appears we are now reaping the benefits of 'player power'.

Neither did the club. That's half of the problem. Why on earth couldn't we expect a win, Wigan are no great shakes this season. I think from the top down we expect a loss and hope for a win. Wrong attitude IMO

Kevs Head has nailed It, it used to hurt when we lost, now the fight has gone. We've gone from 'hope' to 'expectation' but the only expectation now is to lose.
