Let's hope he is more concerned with our poor game management than the referee. The signs are there that we can do it but we're running out of time to turn it into points.

Hope so. Lets hope that the hurt of losing a game that we should have won will spur us on next week against Bradford - lose that and get Whitehaven & Workington programmed into your Sat Nav's.

Your normally even handed but not this time Dave. A few eejits as ever on both sides but the continued attacks on Rangi were poor - even you must have heard them.

As for the match I felt the Devils deserved the win but Smith was sublime in the 2nd half. I think you will be too strong for the Bulls. This is a NEW Wakey team and as long as these half backs are retained you will be OK, McShane badly missed imo.

Don't think there were any surprises in the opening 4 games of the middle 8s.
We were expected to lose but nearly didn't
Hull KR were expected to win but nearly didn't
Widnes were expected to win but only just did.
Bradford went to script.

To suggest we are down on the strength of the 1st set of results is illogical. The next two fixtures are crucial. Willzay and Scarlet should hold back their orgasms until after then

Granted I wasn't there and only saw on TV, but I saw Salford fans throwing objects at players, much worst than shouting out.

In your opinion, Wakefield could lose both of them or they could win both of them, but I wouldn't be so bold as to call it either way.

And well done to you for being by far the most pessimistic poster in Christendom.

Although I don't blame the ref for the defeat, I would be very interested to hear Brian's comments regarding the referee. I've agreed with everything he's said in the previous games on this matter, and even though we can't pin the blame on the ref, the man in the middle has a massive influence on how the game is conducted so it's a valid point aslong as it has substance.

Can we arrange a special party for Wilzay and Scarlet P if (yes if) we are relegated….I have neve r read such a load of tosh in my life. Were they at the game or sat at home eating Yorkshire Puds ?????? There was no lack of effort or enthusiasm imo….in the first half Salford played a near perfect basic display . Dobsons kicking game killed us , we had to start every set from our own line and our last tackle kick was totally ineffective…..infact I think we had 2 attacks on their line and scored from one of them. The second half was totally different and to be honest I think if Godinet had played we would have won that. Tim Smith created some wonderful tries with J. Miller but the man is barely able to walk let alone run and has to rely totally on his passing game. Contrast this with Dobson and Chase who constantly run the line looking for a gap to put some-one through, and they both have a great kicking game so If one is covered the other takes over. With a little more composure we would have won that game, if anything is lacking it's a leader on the field to calm things down and prevent us from the dumb plays we are making at crucial time...

It's far from relegation confirmed that the doom & gloomers on here are secretly hoping for to continue their moaning. We should have won we were the best side more composer and we will be alright.

TRINITY FOREVER

Those doubting the woeful...I won't say cheating...decisions from Child were undoubedly not at the game and can only have seen the snapshot of TV.

Seeing it live, the things Child didn't give to Wakey, but did for Reds was obvious...

We made our own mistakes, but anyone who has played or reffed at a reasonable level will see how the result was "managed" today.

That said...should still have been good enough to win.
