| Oliver Wilkes was absolutely terrible. Why is Danny Orr being used as a 3rd prop, and why is Danny Ward playing like he's a stand off? Several players are just not good enough. Ben Jones Bishop is far too good for our team. If we are going to play such a boring brand of rugby then its no surprise people will fall away and crowds will drop instead of rising. I'm getting sick and tired of it tbh, and no longer look forward to a game like I used to because I know exactly what I'm going to get. A performance with no passion, players looking disinterested and McDermott talking complete rubbish post game.

| Have to agree with you listy..
One of the worst games of Rugby League I have attended. Quins were horrible and The Wildcats not much better.
Will still head to the games to get a footy fix, but if I wasnt such a league fan I wouldnt bother. Quins were horrible, I get better dispays watching Queensland Cup.

| I enjoyed it, clearly the weakest squad for many seasons but ill give them 5 games to show what they can do as a team. Wakey are decent and with a defence like that we have plenty to build on as fluency in attack comes with match practice.

Typical rubbish from a fan of a losing team and I fear a know all Aussie by the sound of it. We (Wakefield) were just fine, we won, away from home, that is all we needesd to do. If we don't have to get out of third gear to win then why should we, that as they say is your problem not ours.

You've no chance of making the playoffs with that side.

Know all Aussie right here...
All I did was say that both teams were rubbish, if you're happy with your team to risk losing games by only playing 'as well as they have to on the day' then fine. Great mentality up there in Wakefield.
As I've noticed on this board (by some), in the bar post game, and chatting with the group who I went to the game with we were all of the same opinion. The game was 3rd rate rubbish, neither team looked great with the ball in hand, error rate was horrendous (to be expected at the start of the season). Yes I am now a Quins fan, but I feel that I can actually step back and see the game in its true light without the glaze of a deluded fan.
If you think yesterdays game was a great advertisement for our game, I feel you are a bad judge.

Agree 100%. Our attack, well ... what attack? If Wakey had the sun on their backs like we did first half then Brough would have rained balls down on us like it was the Blitz. Quins, well er no, let's go for the grubber (until 4.30pm when stuck one in the air in the near darkness). Maybe McD was sat in the Lexus to long and hadn't noticed nearly 4000 other people including the Wakey players shielding their eyes with the programmes!?
We may have had a great goal line defence, but I am sorry that will not win us any games if we can't create in attack - and I saw nothing on Saturday to convince me we can score form anywhere outside on the opposition 20m line.
BJB will be the new Will Sharp carting the ball up for the first three tackles. One talent now wasted for another.
BTW who was out man of the match in the WIN text voting?

simpsons/017.jpg Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 -
Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader.
Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward.
Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I?
Update on Quins Mogs :-
Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo.
Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas.
Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9.
Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.:simpsons/017.jpg |

| I don't know whether it was the WIN text vote, but BJB was announced MOM and Players Player (won 2 bottles of Champagne).

We will just have to wait while September for that, one thing is for sure you certainly will not with that side, and of course we are 2pts nearer the play offs' than you ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

| Like I've said before, we can market the product to death but there is no point when we can't get the fundamentals right. The posters are a complete waste of time when that is what is actually offered. What do people actually think the aim of this expensive marketing tool is? To create an interest? To increase awareness? The money would have been better spent on a half decent player or sacking McDermott, and then relying on word-of-mouth instead of posters selling a product that effectively doesn't exist.
IMO people aren't going to wander down to The Stoop after seeing one of these posters - people will do more research into it and find out that the side are awful. And even if they did wander down, they won't be returning, we'll be stuck at the bottom of the table with no club next season after we paniced after the RFL's little warning by implementing marketing strategies that a student could come up with that are completely wrong for what we need. Sort it out.

We've got a better squad this year than previous unless of course you mean the shattering losses we've had of ollie wilkes, and jason golden to your good selves.
We've a battering ram in tronc, a centre who can pass in millard and plently of expierence and know how in morrison and newton, we'll finish more than 4 places infront of you lot.
