Welcome back

Mark Henry looks suspiciously like a centre to me ...

Cashmere reminds me of Cartwright a lot.

Smith had a bad day at the office but was made to look stupid by Sibbit on several occasions.

Parker impressed in the second half with leadership and passion.

Worst of all, the burger stall had no peas (the only thing worth visiting Wakefield for) and charged £3 for chips and curry sauce!

Plus points Stapo,Myler,Big Phil,Parker,the horse .
Minuses Wilshere,Talau,Smith,Henry,Sibbit
I am still to be convinced by Cashmere I hate to say it but he is starting to look a lot like Korkidas to me (some may take that as a positive but I definitely dont)
The lack of creativity when we had 6 repeats sets was worrying.
Still it is only our first game against real SL oppostion and there was a lot to positive about in the second half.
The less said about the first half the better

NOW THAT IS A BAD MATCH! these are the teams we should be beating whats is going on! We need to play the ball alot deeper than what we are doing! And stop but fance snap and goes in let just go back to basic and then work on these tricks!

You need to stop trying to slow other teams down to Div 1 speed then it was a joke today I couldn't believe how Smith allowed you to mess in the ruck.

Think Mr McRae will shake things up a bit. Wilshere to Full Back, Rachford maybe in for the possibly injured Smith for starters. Turner & White should also be in contention as Henry & Smith v poor today. I felt Nash was sound today and hopefully Sidlow knocking on the door again.

We are lining out far too flat. Nobody running on the ball at pace and we need to be much deeper. We are in a different League now and our very predictable 5 drives and a kick need to be changed - awful to watch.

Wakefield`s try from the face ball was a cracker and down to good coaching and practice and shows what could be done near to the line without the boring up and under seen on 90% of plays.

pardon translate

We are far better than you If you had beat us today I would have been shocked. Don't think you ever looked like winning tbh.

But hope your season goes well.

Thought first half we were looking at forty to fifty even with our depleted side, you certainly looked a few yards off the pace. I think a better team than us would have took you to the cleaners.

Second half credit to the coach and players, especially your 6 and 7 who ran the show. I hope you can keep hold of Myler, but being a realist and in a similar boat to us it wont be long before a so called bigger club comes in or he wants to win trophies and or represent his country( maybe he can with Salford).

Thought number 8 had a excellent game today must go to your number 8 (forgive my ignorance but did not catch his name) saved two potential tries running back to tackle two of our backs in the second half.

Without trying to sound condescending if you play like the second half you wont be far away.

We never play well at Wakefield, i dont know if its the ground or what? but we always seem to fall apart there? its only early days lets not get to worked up.

WTF are you talking about?!

Why in God's name should we be expecting to beat a Wakefield side that were a division above us last year, particularly at their place?!?

In future, 'remove head from ar[size.[/sizese before posting' may be a useful rule to consider?

Luelui for you was excellent today we are crying out for a player like that at Wakefield. 1st half you guys were very poor but the 2nd half you knocked it around well.

How can a ground that has been there over a century be described as soul less? Belle Vue is many things but it ain't soul less! Bloody hell!

For me the truest write-up on the thread, if Rooney & Brough had have been playing we'd have been spanked out of sight by half time. We were awful, as it was it was down to Drew to run rings around us (as usual) & let no-one be fooled by the 2nd half "comeback" against a side who knew that the win was safely in the locker, too many poor peformances today & a full strength Wakefield side would have embarrased us today.
