"“The game was heavily to Wakefield. Most games, it looked like in the first half, it would probably end 40-16."

Is this quote a repreesntation of the whining and defeatism on this forum? This is a quote from Rick Stone. Some people need to take off the rose tinted specs and be more objective, even the coach thought Wakefield dominated the first half of the game, and he is right. The difference today was that we took our chances when presented. If we are to make any inroads against the better teams, we simply cannot have a period of the game with Wakeman, clough and to be honest Hinchcliffe on in the forwards during which we will be totally dominated by the opposition. Like many are saying here i would give Mason a shot for wakeman at the moment.

Is it just me or is Hinchliffe also having zero impact whether he's at loose forward or hooker. What a waste of a substantial overseas wage!

And so you should, without getting involved as to who benefited most from his decisions' he's clearly not ready for SL and seems to have learned nothing from last season.

Having seen the last try back again I think brough did the right thing at the end. There was brough with brierley close to him - there were also three wakey players- including one who had kept up with brierley for pace, surrounding them. Jerry was in acres of space so smart decision.
Last week we were offloading in traffic and it messed up!

Pretty much agree, Wakey got the calls first half, Broughy had a couple of moans, including walking off at HT, second half we got the 50/50s. Whether his calls were right or wrong he appeared to be easily influenced.

Problem is under Jon Sharp and now Hanson refs keep quitting so we have lots of inexperienced refs controlled by a former ref with a track record of controversy. To top it all play Catalans away and you get Alibert as VR

yeh i agree seeing back on replay, thought at the time give it brierley but brough was spot on!

as for the one wakey scored with jones bishop when he went full length of the field it looks like ferguson got in the way of brierley for the tackle
