Wakey have been great, their defence very solid and Lino has kicked us to death.


Meanwhile we’re still playing 5 drives and a boring high kick from Smith 10 points down with 10 minutes left?

It’s as dull as dishwater, isn’t it. 
Not entertainment at all. 

Wakey all over us from minute one, no idea how we managed to score 10 points

Wakefield very good - well done to them.


Peet's post match comments might not reflect how he really feels of course but can't agree that we weren't far off. Im still confident in us but tonight was the first night a bit of doubt crept in. Our forwards are lacking punch, our attack is blunt and there has been a lack of intensity in a lot of games this year.


That said - we've been here before and come out the other side - this team have got plenty of credit in the bank. Peet will stay grounded as he always does.

The only saving grace is that it's still June. 12 games to go before the playoffs, that is plenty of time. I think it was Matt Shaw on his podcast this week who said that we 'look bored' and I fully agree. I'm not sure what's motivating them at the moment. It's doubtful we'll catch KR now and so all focus has to be on peaking at the right time now I feel. I doubt KR will lose 3 games and we win the remaining 12. We now have to time our run.


The only thing I would raise is that it's time to address the Farrell issue; another nightmare from him. We had all the momentum 2nd half and he makes a key error, in addition to struggling all night. French was just French after a few weeks off, he'll be fine. 

I think it was here, might have at t'other place, where someone said some thing about Harry Smith playing his way out of an England place, and I thought the same tonight. But who would replace him? Marc Sneyd? Is there anyone else (Lewis being a 6)?

I’ve very little interest in England RL. Even with Wane in charge. 
They’ll get pumped by Australia and it’ll be a bit embarrassing for British RL. 


So I wouldn’t be overly disappointed to see him get an extended rest over October & November. 
On recent weeks showings, you wouldn’t pick him. But there’s 3 months until the GF. 

Wakefield had 1 specialist prop today in the 17.


They absolutely dominated us in the pack. 


Out enthused, more energy and significantly tougher.


Havard and Dupree were shocking. 


Faz, it’s kind of sad to watch. I’ve defended him but he’s one of those players that when age catches up with them, it catches up quick. 

Come on people, we've seen this spell time and again now and we've surely all realised by now that we don't need to go OTT! The players are simply a bit bored and waiting for the business end of the season. We will be absolutely fine come the games that actually matter!! 


Looking for individuals to blame is silly. French was off, Field wasn't at his best, Smith struggled, Havard was quiet, Nsemba has had better games and on and on and on. Our best players just aren't fully on at the minute but they'll find it. The players deserve our trust after this last few seasons IMO. 

Well that was a tough watch,beaten by a better team on the night,no need to panic as pointed out we have been here before but will bounce back ( I hope).


Wakey are a good side no doubt but if you had money on it would you have it on Wakey or Wigan for the GF,I know which one I would put it on.
