Maybe that's where they're problems began, at one time they'd just buy a stream of Wakey players emphasis is on buy, but because Wakefield have been made substantially viable over the last few years up until the pandemic at least, that's one avenue not now available to them, probably a good thing really because they now invest in their youth system which is now showing dividends.

Well yes I’m afraid. There are few logical reason why we have suddenly gone from a top 8 team to cellar dwellers in what is actually just one season of actual RL.

The only serious loss was Brough, more for depth than anything else.

2019 was a disaster but the reasons were obvious to even the most biased of fans. Could have been handled better but hindsight and all that. We started 2020 reasonably well, 2 wins from 5 I recall.

So truth is we’ve only been monumentally crap since COVID and although it’s played it’s part in our downfall it’s still no excuse.

So let’s have some perspective, however poor we are it’s a relatively new thing and as such is hopefully transitory.

If it’s still this way same time next season then we will be truly the worst team in SL and knee deep in the poop.

I agree. There are now two reasons why I no longer detest Hudds, 1 they now stand on their own two feet, 2 we now beat them more times than they beat us, something that always softens the blow.

Told you, it’s a weird game. Will it last? I live in hope.

Still sure?

Even I’m baffled but not surprised.

Our pack is under a lot of pressure,try as they might some of our forwards struggle to get over the advantage line or dominate rucks,yet that’s not to say that they aren’t fully committed.

Any new coach has got to sort this out,as we have got some talented players in the three quarters.
