It still makes me chuckle when people mention "all of the players that came in".
The biggest 2 signings were Tim Smith & Kevin Locke and I think we'd all rather forget about those 2.
Plus, the transfers came about with the appointment of Brian Smith, who cam in when Trinity had won only 2 games and many of the squad changes happened well before the middle 8's.
The big thing was, James Webster telling the world that we'd effectively written the season off and that Trinity were going to prepare for the middle 8's.
Although everyone knew that Trinity were certainties to finish bottom, from a very early stage in the season, the head coach of a professional sporting club should never come out with this type of comment and it was a real kick in the teeth for all of the supporters.
Having said all that, the fault was not with Wakefield, the fault is with the system, which still allows for the same level of transfer activity. Therefore, the same thing can still happen, euither to struggling SL clubs or Championship clubs that want to roll the dice.
