| A massive thank you to all the players,coaching staff and diretors for this season so far. It has been great watching this team, they have jelled into a committed and determined unit, they have played some very good Rugby and have scored some breathtaking tries. I know that have giving 100 % for the club and the fans. Rightly so, before a ball was kicked we were a bottom two side, they have dumfounded the pundits, RL watching public and me. It has been a joy to behold.
To see some of last nights comments on social media from some Wakefield fans it just quite staggering and sadly confirms that we do undoubtely have some of the dumbest fans in the world. Firstly Salford are an excellent team and last night they were at strength and played very very well, credit to them. Yes we were lacking players but some of our lads, namely Walker and Gibson stuck their hands up to play when they should never have been on a Rugby pitch. We were disrupted by late pull outs, Kirmond, BJB and Topou : not ideal. We looked tired, yes a few players just had one of those games. It was just a game to far for our forwards who apart from Huby and Anakin just could not match Salfords aggression. My only criticism was that we did not react to Salfords very impressive line speed, we simply kept passing the ball so that the ball reciever was getting hit on the gain line, we should have started scooting from dummy half 4 or 5 times in a set to put some doubt in the Salford defensive line. MCB and Huby had great games
We are in the top 8,we will have a few weeks of players out, then lets enjoy the top 8 and give this team our well deserved support.

| Understrength side last night meant that we had no go forwards and little chance to create anything. However, we tackled and tackled relentlessly and never gave in - that kind of attitude will stand us in good stead for the rest of the season and beyond.
Shame we have run out of troops again for the cup - I fancied our chances this year if we could have kept our primary squad intact. That second double up of games has crippled us, literally!

| We were well beaten - it happens sometimes. There was a level of grit and pride in our performance that deserves our thanks and respect, when you're under the cosh like we were last night it would be easy to concede 60+

| Best post I've read this year belly which coincides with one of the worst that I read on here last night bagging our younger stars of the future.
Some fans need to remember just how far we have come in the last two years..

| Yes agree, great post. Appears to me that everybody at the club, chairman, coaches, backroom staff, players and fans are giving their all and doing a great job for the club. I'm proud to tell anybody I am a Wakefield fan and I cant see that changing. Ups and downs are part of the game.

As a Salford fan your sentiments echo everything our fans are feeling this season. Both clubs have had a great season and as long suffering fans of underperforming teams it's great to see smiles on the faces of both sets of fans who are being treated to exciting rugby league, by players that obviously have a huge amount of pride pulling on the shirt. Whilst I was elated at our performance last night, I felt sorry for you guys as you looked jaded and we dominated for the full 80. I think the extra 2 days rest for us was a big factor as was your injuries. I also think the defeat a fortnight ago was a huge motivating factor.
I've read your thread on the game itself and it's refreshing to read so many well-balanced views of the game despite the obvious disappointment. I really enjoy watching Wakey, you've got a great squad of players and I really hope both of us can gatecrash that top 4.
Good luck for the rest of the season and hope to see you again in the Super 8's!

| Nice post Sale Slim.
It's nice to see our teams at the top. Both have had troubled times in recent years and it's great for the long suffering fans to see the Rugby both teams are serving up.
Good luck in the semi.

I agree with most of what you say. The problem is, they way we have played means they have set a certain standard of performance, so then it's slightly disappointing when we drop below that for whatever reason! Of course you simply can't keep performing at a high level all the time, we still haven't conceded 40 points yet, and there's probably only Cas, Salford and maybe us who haven't, Leeds, Hull and plenty more so called 'big' teams have, so a massive pat on the back to all concerned for the improved defensive efforts. However...... just a couple of things for me, recently I think we have looked a bit blunt in attack, we are relying too much on opposition errors to score tries, I think now we are seeing the true value of Miller now that he's missing. Williams kind of flatters to deceive a bit for me, much as I like Finn, I think he struggles a bit with no pace next to him, and maybe next year being a year older, he won't play in as many games consecutively, therefore it's crucial we get the right half to go with Miller, whoever that is. But overall, considering where we were just 2 years ago, it's been a pretty remarkable turnaround, and hopefully with bodies back, we can definitely improve on last season's position, which is all you can ask for really.

We conceded 42 at Cas but numerous times this season when games looked like they were getting away from us and a big score was looming (unlike previous seasons), the team found a way to respond and either win the game or limit the damage.
After some of the barren years we have had to endure, anyone bagging the team or individuals after one disappointing performance (albeit understandable with the injuries and number of games in a short space of time) needs to give their head a shake
