I agree with poptart on the selection of Trueman if fit.
Tom Johnstone and Ollie Pratt need another option from the halfbacks, as they are only feeding off the oppositions 5th tackle kicks most of the time. If we can get the ball out wide or our kicks on the opposition line that`s when they come in to their own.
Max as done well covering in the half backs but Trueman is the real deal when fit ! Also when Max is at full back he does come in to the line and his miss out passes to Tom have been productive in the past.
Trueman can not be match fit , If fans think playing one match and missing 4 plus makes him a great player so be it .Think we should stick with Max in the half ,and Rourke at full back .There should be no way Rourke should be dropped for Max, ,he as been out standing the matches he as played to bring in a player who at present is not fit .Just got to laugh when I hear people say ,he could make the squad to face the Australians I think you’ve got a point regarding Truemans match fitness but then again you’ve also got to trust that the coaching team will do whats best for the team cohesion. Rourke has been very good at what he does, bringing the ball out, fielding kicks although he does seem to have at least one unenforced error per game in him. What he isn’t as good as Max at is organising the defence and linking up on the edges to create opportunities out wide. Overall though he’s been a very good understudy to Max. With regard to England selection, Im assuming you were talking about Max, there are few alternatives at FB once you rule out Welsby! You either have to play someone out of position eg. Farnworth, Lewis or you consider someone like Pryce who despite being an attacking threat just isn't ready for an England Vs Australia series, he’s certainly not as adept at Full Back as Max is. So maybe it’s Hobson choice but Max comes into the conversation regardless because of the lack of genuine options. On the off chance ou were referring to Trueman for England then I’d agree, he’s nowhere near Was referring to Trueman playing for England ,sorry if I did not make myself clear .Think Max is not there yet as a international ,but is one of the best full backs I have seen at Wakefield for a long time .When you think how Wakefield treated him over the years, think we are lucky to still have him at the club .Would make my day if he did make the squad to face the Australians. ,but still get the feeling we are still look on as a small club by people in charge |

Agree; how can he ever get 'match fit' if he doesn't play. |

Leigh pretty much at full strength so this will be a big test today but why not.

We are sorely missing Uele IMO, we don’t have the same yardage without him.
I’m not happy with some of the decisions against us today and their last try was of a pass that was half a yard forward

Would like to see their short dropouts again. The first looked like it was taken just behind the line and the second looked like it hit their man just behind the line.
I wish we could get Trueman playing every week. We look better in attack with him on the field.

Criminal that we used only 3 subs, should have had Seth on the bench and Rourke 18th man.

The second drop out they took Pitts out then dropped on the ball. |

If we had looked after the ball better in their 20 in the last 10 minutes instead of forcing it we would have held on for the win, but gave the ball up cheaply with a penalty and the rest is history
