Sometimes sport cruel. That failure was hard earned by no other than the bulls board and club themselves. Despite the funding to maintain a team that was not viable the bulls squad failed to make the playoffs despite been in the driving seat still with 3 games to go.

The table says wakey earned the 8th spot and that will remain in the history books. Enjoy your rugby league... We do .

Richard Agar has improved Wakey this season and frankly I don't really care what Hull do, we have had a good run this season and having watched them all my life I am proud of what Agar has achieved and hopefully we can build on this next season. You see it benefits the game if more clubs can compete at the highest level and it would be nice to see Hull get there as well.

Finishing in the top 2/3rds of the table then getting thrashed in the playoffs doesn not constitute competing at the highest level, but then I guess that's the best clubs like wakefield can hope for.

I don't recall seeing Wakey being thrashed, in fact it was the lowest losing margin of the weekend matches.

Listen to yourself. Wakefield (who lost by 20 points) did not get thrashed because it was the lowest losing margin of the playoffs so far.

What. The. Fuck.

Does that not illustrate how terrible our playoffs are, and how woefully out of their depth 50% of the teams who compete are?

He didn't get much stick for Hull's performances during the weekly rounds of the season, it was his complete inability to get a win in a 'must win' tie such as a crucial game against the Top4, a CC game or a playoff that brought much criticism.

He has had a good season with a makeshift Wakefield side, but he is still yet to prove he can win a big game under pressure.

On that vein Warrington, Catalan and Huddersfield should not be in the play offs ?. Kn**head.

He's done very well this season and turned us around, and importantly, as he's said himself changed the way people think about the club (on the whole)......we've played some great stuff at times and finished the season really well...

Any sensible rugby fan knows we gave Leeds a very good game last night and although the scoreline favoured Leeds by 22 points it was a lot closer than that.....had Washbrook made the play with 9 minutes to go we were 4 points behind with the momentum.....the gap in the scoreline only grew because we were having to chance our arm in desperation and Leeds capitalised on that....as a true champion side would.....

Agar's true test of course will come next season.....there was no pressure really this season as every man and his dog had us down to struggle.....with the way we've finished anything outside a top 8 finish will be looked on as a failure and the pressure will grow......even a poor start and the pressure could be on as expectation will be much higher......hope he does well though becasue he clearly knows the game very well and always comes across well in his interviews....

I think Andrew Glover deserves more credit, he has completely transformed the club. Under his owenerhsip, Wakey can really build something. Also think the fans deserve some credit as it's great to see Wakey getting good attendances.

On Agar he's done OK. You have to look at it realistically, Widnes were the new boys and were going to have a season finding their feet, London have had a terrible season and so have Cas ( think both will bounce back next year), i think Salford and KR threw away their season, while Bradfords problems are well documented. He has done very well still to get them in the play-offs as he threw a team together at very short notice.

I think his acid test will be next year, I expect Cas & London to bounce back and be play-off contenders next year, KR & Salford i'm unsure, while Widnes still need a few signings to challenge IMO Bradford have lost some players but i expect us to finish between 7 - 10.

Can't argue with that really, though I think Cas may struggle again.

Can't argue with that really, though I think Cas may struggle again.'"

I think it because of how Cas have performed this year, the exodus of players taking place now, the lack of quality being recruited and the improving form of similar teams, such as London and Widnes. I have made an evidence-based conclusion.

You, however...

Lack of quality being recruited? We have signed an England international an ex-new Zealand international, a Challenge cup winner who has the potential to be great darn lane, we have Gilmour who is one of the most experienced player in the Super League. A winger who was showing incredible promise before an injury and Hauraki who showed what he can do when he got played every week at Crusaders.

Happy Days await then.

agar's useless. He and wakefield make a good match
