That was actually quite encouraging when you think we’ll have Frawley, Croft and Miller all able to execute some nice link play up at the line.

It might be a friendly (though we said that last year) but the approach is really disappointing. There's very few of these trial games and we've just pssed away 40 minutes being lazy and Ill disciplined.

Miller having a bit of a half to forget. Olpherts still dire.

Gannon looked good tho off injured. Ackers looked lively. It is just a friendly but some echoes from last year.

Shambolic first half

Getting hammered
Gannon with another head knock
Miller having a dreadful game
Stupid kickoffs
Awful discipline

Ofcourse its a friendly, but plenty of people have paid good money to go watch this rubbish

Having said all that, Wakefield should also go really well in the championship next year, they’ve recruited really well for that level.

What's Olpherts done wrong?

The short kick offs have killed us. Hopefully Smith will get the point and drop this tactic permanently.

Cam Smith looked a bit sluggish before he went off. We seemed to pick up when O'Connor game on.

It was disappointing that Miller was burned for pace by a championship winger (well, he gave up).

Hopefully we see a better attitude in the second half.

Wouldn't say Miller was dreadful. He created our only try, and looks pretty lively. Yes, the kicks were poor!

Miller had a poor half. Chucking out an offload, giving up on the chase, gifting possession the short kos and the intercept pass.

I’m hoping Millers is just a case of trying too hard. You can see the skill is there.

Olpherts had an awful missed tackle in the build up to their first and was lucky not to concede a try when numbered up 3 v3 and he comes in rather than staying on his man. Thankfully Walmsley dropped it.

Who would of thought

Do the basics of rugby league and good things happen

Right, line drawn now. Never start a game with that attitude again.

Miller looks very good joining the line as expected. What the highlights reels never tell you is how good players are with their consistency and with their D. Time will tell but he definitely has skill.

Goudemand quietly been very good.

Who’s number 11?

Littlewood I think.

I was right about O’Connor to 13 and Johnson to 9… I still hope Johnson makes it at Leeds he was very very good at junior grade.

Ackers rightly MoM but I thought Frawley had a few nice touches and pushed him close. O'Connor and Goudemand solid too. Sinfield looking a lot more assured ball in hand.

Olpherts scored a nice second try. If that doesn't put him in the shop window he could still be decent back up for us if he builds confidence.
