Fair play to the man, he has responded to his critics by posting here.

He has not actually made a judgement, so we should not criticise.

Someone, however is responsible for the incident, and that is for the
courts to decide.

We all offer our best wishes to the girl and her family, for a speedy recovery,
free of any trauma.

In the meantime, we should actually be encouraging the editor to continue to
put Wakefield Trinity on the front page by the clubs achievements taking pride
of place.

I hope AG and JE extend an invite to him to attend the pre match dinner for
the Salford game, where the positive aspects can be discussed in a friendly,
comfartable environment.

Not a bad idea.

Happy stories don't sell papers hence a procession of 'Wakefield is crap' and 'Wakefield is full of nasty people' stories on the front page.

A news paper editor should know how news is gunna impact different aspects of the city of that paper. personally there is not enough positive news about wakefield put in our express thats why people give our city and our club a bad name. And i agree witht he comment made on his reply I totally think the express is a joke get rid of em all, I'm not stupid and it doesn't take someone with more than 5 GCSE's to workout what that front page was inclining about the club. That is a page read by many people in the city that is going to put a lot of support off Wakefield Trinity wildcats. I understand that this was a serious case of assult and it's sad for that poor woman if it is the case but when there are probably goodness knows how many crimes that happen in Wakefield every week its funny how they choose to smack the readers in the face with another big story that words the headline so it puts a bad shine on us.

My comments in no way detract from the sympathy I feel for the victim of this terrible attack.

I agree with the editor that the local paper should report this matter. I agree that their role is to bring matters to the attention of the community given the standing and heritage of Trinity therein. It is right that the recruitment policy of trinity is open to scrutiny (did many of us not indulge in this about Leo Latu?)

But W.E. could have fulfilled these duties without the harrowing image being splashed on the front page. On an inside page perhaps.

To masquerade as an agent of civil democracy whilst exploiting this sensationalist front page image to sell the newspaper is, in my opinion, disingenuous hypocrisy.

Are we to believe that the W.E. would have treated this story in the same manner had they recently recruited somone who had recently been subject to a criminal allegation? I think not.

I think a line should be drawn here.

There is no one on this forum that has and will condone such an act, the law will takes its course and I hope the right decision will be made.

The relationship with the media i.e Wakefield express and the sky sports team will have to be worked on to show the positives of the club.

There is nothing we can do about speculation of our future in SL, we can only show the positives of the players and fans in backing Andrew Glover in a achieving our aim to be successful.

I hope Mr Bradley can take this on board as success for the club could give him increased sales getting behind the club than trying to show the us in the wrong light

It's not just us though, is it? As others have pointed out, the WE thrives on negativity and offering the bleakest view of the city it possibly can. This is more polemic than balanced journalism. The rag needs a new editor, someone who understands what a local paper is actually about, not someone who appears to have one eye on the editor's job at the Daily Mail.

Thanks - am I approaching my limit of intellectually affected use of arcane punctuation yet, or can I continue to wield my semi with wild abandon?

Take a leaf from many football chairman, sick of the negativity, ban them. If they want to report, they can pay to get in. Tough.

There's the official website, loads of sports ones and local radio stations to get messages out to.

The Express is not fit for fish and chips, makes them too bitter. Years and years and years of feeding them exclusives and what has the club ever got back in return?

They are fools to mess with a club now owned by someone who can afford TV advertising for his business, and that ain't cheap!
