Westwood was magnificent tonight, but oh for a couple of half backs who can break open defences with side steps & changes of direction. Really entertaining tonight & up to very near the end you could have expected Wakefield to nick the game...well done to both teams. I think you would expect young Akiola to spend a bit more time on the pitch though.

Spot on all of this. King brothers are good squad players. George isn’t the biggest prop but does a decent shift. Toby was drifting inside when defending last night which wakey were targetting. A number of forum members just like to moan and groan despite when we get a win, don’t know Why some bother going the game tbh!!

Aww mate, set the scene.

Antony England (of all ppl) did 33 minutes straight for them. Did OK for them as Wrll, a lot of hit ups.

They subbed him, fot Pauli Pauli who's a bit, must easy over 19 stone and then some. His legs are HUUUUGE.

His first run is a monster, Philbs shot out the line and got bounced off good style, And it was worrying.


Their next set, he ran a bit wider out and went straight into Bmm, who ing picked him, up like he was Luke Robinson and dumped him, flat on his back.

I was worried child was going give a own fot a dangerous throw as he's already given a random one for that. It was amazing.

Pauli Pauli spent thr rest of the game hiding and not wanting to take the ball in, And hitting our players after we'd passed the ball. Proper lazy.

Them gaps in the first half were on the other side of the field from me so couldn't see who was at fault. Tony king put a shift in during the second half, even after taking a knock.

That being said, I don't think Toby and tyrone is a great defensive partnership

Excuse me, why is having a view or a point a moan, oh I get it it’s because it doesn’t agree with your view it then becomes a moan. If someone doesn’t like X player but you think he as done ok well fair enough just say so. Don’t call people moaners just because it’s not your view. BTW this is not directly aimed at you because a few do it on here when some have ago at certain things and they don’t agree with it MOAN MOAN MOAN lmao.

Ps T.King was poor and for that reason he made M. Brown look bad, my view not a moan.

Wakey creates overlaps both sides, I'll have to watch again but I thought it was just them flooding the flanks, my thoughts were that both halves and Scott grix all attacked the same side making up to 6 on 3, maybe wrong about the personnel but they had clearly identified that we defend with a very rigid structure, which to be fair I expect most teams do. Enterprising stuff from Chris Chester and it definitely bears fruit. In the first half we didn't get to grips with this so I would say the players at fault were further in field rather than the edge players who were outnumbered. Our coaches clearly had words at half time and our flanks were exposed less. I thought wakey left points on the pitch last night, they should have scored 3 sets on the run in the second half and then we give them a sucker punch with the Cooper try.

They contributed massively to a very entertaining game IMO they seemed to have attacking intent every set, great to watch I am sure they will have a good season and good luck to them.

I usually have to pay to hear talk like this!
Was a thing of beauty


In regards to Sita, i dont think we've got ourselves a 20/30 minute prop.
Its more going to be he does 10-15 and hill does 25-30.
However if he can come on and make and impact like that and get everyone of their seats, il be more than happy!

It was an odd game, some great moments and some superb tries and we are clearly going in the right direction but I left the game feeling a bit disappointed, maybe conceding a try on the hooter does that.

But there were so many positives and not least Ben Murdoch Masila who was the reason i opted to renew my season ticket this year. To say Ive been disappointed with him is an under statement but what a try...worth the entrance fee alone,he beat 7 defenders.. half the chuffing team....!!!

I thought Akuola is showing that those you tube highlights were not just a small portion of carefully selected highlights but he can really take it up like that on every drive...

I'm not sure on the King Bashing I thought Toby had a solid second half and made some strong last ditch tackles on Bill Tupou who is a top quality Centre. I think Mitch Brown will be sat next to Matty Russell on Good Friday.

but the concern for me is still the halves our last tackle Kick is the worst in the league but to be fair when finishing the game out Roberts did show he can come up with solid touch finders......but that's bread and butter to a half back and something we shouldn't be getting excited about.

James Child is hopeless....

Agree with the sentiment on here. At half time I said to my mate what a good entertaining game it was and we were behind. Credit to both sides and some terrific moments to savour .... Sita's run, Ben's try, Lineham ' The Rocket' out pacing a speedy Wakefield back line for a tremendous score. Yes we won and it was a good progression from the Catalan game but having been subjected to tedious dross for a good while now it was great to leave a game having actually enjoyed the experience

Give it a rest for once and put your dummy back in!!!
Biggest diva on this forum!!!

You're honoured, you got a "lmao" not just a "lol".

Really encouraging that we came back after being behind at half time. We struggled to do that in the past.

Lol.

There is nothing like juvenile name calling from grown men on forums.

Do we have an AUP enforced now? Last time I looked Section 3.2n and 3.2m may apply.

Are we not able to make our differing points of view without insulting each other?
