we look very poor so far. Just hope that our fortunes improve with the weather. IMO we'll finish bottom four again...with Widnes, Catalans and HKR. Shambles.

Defence is largely okay. Attack is still dire. We are relying on tries from kicks. And they aren't skilled ones. We're hoofing it to the corner and praying for enough confusion that we end up over the line somehow with the ball in hand. Its all we have at present. We're going nowhere fast.

ok should the worse happen in the coming weeks,lets keep price and hendo and keep watching boring rugby in the hope we scrape into top 8..if your happy with that good on you...if you want me throw a name as to who i,d like to see here,chris chester a very go0od young english coach whos done wonders at wakey and they are very good to watch,..but as long as your happy watching utter tripe

After 6 games we have won 2 more than we did last season.

The league table doesn't lie and I think we are about where our collective talent would indicate we should be. We haven't got the squad to compete at the business end of the table, it's as simple as that.

I’d predict 7th/8th. However, we are generally defending okay even with other teams having ALL the possession and territory due to our discipline.

If we can cut out the errors and indiscipline, we concede even less tries. How we sort out the attack I really don’t know I hope it’s just the time of year and the lack of practice together. To be fair to Paul Cullen his teams’ attacking qualities were something to enjoy (if you ignore the defence and attitude and drinking etc)... maybe we can bring him back as a consultant

Don't get me wrong, not a personal attack I was just interested to know who would replace him if we were to go that way. I would have thought it an equally uninspiring choice had it been Chester instead of Price to begin with, but given it looks like another good season for Wakefield I'd snap him up in a heartbeat now. Only difference now is we don't have the luxury of plenty of time for the change. Would he come? Would board be happy with another expensive payoff to the current manager, and presumably to Wakefield? He'd still be stuck with the core of Tony Smith's team so would it make any difference? All hypothetical as there's no way the club is gonna ditch a manager after 6 or 7 games.

Too early to judge Price after 6 games anyway, as bad as things may seem.

By the time of the split, if we are 8th it above and then improve during the 8s we can get a better idea of what the future holds.

Last season I thouht I was falling out of love with the game id followed for over 50 years. This year thankfully we're back together again - and that is not down to how many games we've won or lost - it's because I can see commitment from the players.

Two very good posts above. The players do look committed and I think the "flair" we previously showed was due to the individual flair of the players we had then as Sally said.
Right now the solution is going to be drilled moves and not "play what you see". This will take a long time on the training field to get right.

In terms of flair in the halves, I wish we had acted earlier and got Justin Holbrook. He was half back coach back in Australia and you can see how Danny Richardson has flourished under him. He may have made something of Patton.

Come on RD you weren't fishing

He was. His mind works on a superior level to us. We are merely pawns to be toyed with in his ideological game of forum chess.
