| Quote AS108="AS108"How did your monster pack get on? In all seriousness, good to see you’ve been taken down a notch or two. The attitude of Wakefield fans the past few months has been extremely arrogant which makes no sense given you’ve failed to make the semi finals the past two years and have won nothing for donkeys years.'"
Your right about some things here, we sounded unfit and unwilling to dig deep today and I do imagine that some fans have been arrogant and that in a way being grounded again by this result, taken down a notch or two like you say, may help us in further games.
However, Wakefield fans are very understanding that we have not won anything for years, or that these past years we have missed out on semis.
But from where we were three, four years ago, having playing called up for international duties, being put in the dream team, key players signing long term contracts etc I think are perfectly acceptable reasons for having decent expectations of the season ahead.

| Quote Trinity1315="Trinity1315"
The thing is, it's a long season, and despite some of the comments from visiting fans swooping like vultures, Trinity do have some cracking players, and we have a right to have expectations.
'"
Of course you have a right to have expectations, there are players in your side that would grace any team in SL and I still expect you to be at least knocking on the door of the playoffs. But when you have bigged yourselves up all winter only to get soundly beaten by everyone's favourites to be relegated you have to expect to get a bit of stick.
I do wonder if you have made a mistake by going with such a big pack though. Not just because of the reduced interchanges but also the shot clock. It makes breathers much harder to come by and you have some big units. Not saying that is why you lost day, but the games have been really fast paced this weekend, and I will be interested to see what effect it has as the season goes on.

Time will tell but, I suppose if you're going to have a stinker and be brought down to earth the first game is the one to teach us all a lesson.
Sounds like we can only get better!

| Quote Trinity1315="Trinity1315"
Much has been said/speculated about the size of our pack and the potential effects of the eight subs rule. I saw no evidence of fatigue caused by this. What I did see was a team that for 65 minutes wanted it more and grew in that belief after a slow start.

| Quote asmadasa="asmadasa"For those that didn't perform then Chester ought to consider dropping them...the squad should be big enough and healthy enough to rotate at this stage of the season.
Worrying that 42 points conceded to probably one of the weakest SL attacking teams with allegedly the top side to face next week so little time to fix up a poor defence....
'"
I have to say that i was surprised with the forwards selection - especially with Anthony England not starting the game.
I think there will be a few changes for the Saints game.

| You can only say, well played London and for Trinity, a HUGE kick up the booty is required.
Although we started brightly, you cant win RL games at any level without the right attitude in defence and ours was awful.
Conceding 42 points is awful in any game and without trying to take too much away from London, who were smart with ball in hand, made very few errors and who worked damned hard as a team, that performance was unforgivable, especially with so many travelling fans having made the effort to support the team.
Very disappointed and missing the 2 points today could be crucial come the end of the season.
I think we took victory for granted and got what we deserved.

| There's no knocking the performance of the London team and Danny Ward has nicely smacked Chris Chester's ar5e but
We really give teams all the help they require. You could list a gift to almost every member of the team. Randell continues to give needless cheap penalties, Broughy not reaching touch, Crowther losing ball in consecutive carries, Arona giving penalty on last tackle, Miller not grounding ball, Tupou getting run in to touch on 1st tackle, Johnstone nowhere to be seen when Hampshire took that quick tap, BJB hopeless defense etc etc Same old same old.
Weather was nice and Duke of Kent pub was friendly enough with good service.
Goodnight all.

| Quote wakeytrin="wakeytrin"Contacted London direct, no seats for away fans. All seats reserved for home fans. Got match day tickets already, won't be able to stand for 90+ minutes. How are they allowed to get away with no seating for away fans.'"
Yes it's totally Outrageous that A Super League club expects supporters to have no option to Stand without paying extra. Unlike London Broncos Which does have a Free covered stand with Seating unlike the Visitors on Sunday .
You can get away with anything when you use the old "We've History & Tradition " Claptrap.

We (London) probably have over 1000 seats now unreserved which away fans can sit in behind both sets of sticks. Well we did until a bunch of your fans decided to try and destroy one of the stands, so I guess based on that most of you guys perfer to stand anyway.

It takes a monumental ability to twist that load of spin. Trail finders is an utter disgrace and no other team would get away with it.
