can't see any reason why we shouldn't be the fittest team. we have spent most of the last 4 matches stood at the back of our posts........

fwiw, playing hickey for 16mins total yesterday was a joke. both jarrod and kear should be equally responsible (1 for been so unfitm the other for picking him)

this is turning into a soap opera. 16 mins, 19 the other week. he clearly can't be fit enough if that's all he can manage.

You are spot on, we are effectively playing with 16.5 players instead of 17.

I've been trying to be the voice of reason about him and saying we are being a bit harsh on him but he's run out of time as far as I'm concerend.
I'd rather have Hendo as a prop, or get a loan player, or play a kid.......or even play with 3 props doing more work....but not Hickey until he gets his rather large belly down the gym.

Slimming World group meet at Outwood Memorial Hall on Mondays apparently. I'll even give him a lift!

Your being generous with the 0.5, I dont think he's half a player (other than in size), although only Amor stood out in our pack yesterday.

yeah and Amor aint even our player

I too think he could be a good player and its a big shame he arrived in the condition he did. Lets hope its just first season syndrome. Remember when Wigan fans wanted rid of Pat Richards and Warrington fans were disappointed with Mat King first season. A few games in the U20 maybe should have been the preferred route for Mr Hickey to the first team

Feline, its a "big disgrace" and he won't be with us next season anyway, PR and MK were both close to "world class" so don't hold you're breath with player like Hickey.

I thought you had totally lost it Al, with the reference to MK (Korki) as being close to world class Good job I re-read feline's post

Another 15mins or so match time against Saints - what good is that for Wakefield ?? I dont know whos most at fault - Kear still playing him or Hickys state of fitness !! The buck stops with the player tho - its a discrace the state he has come over in with all that time waiting for his VISA !!

The coach should not have played him, he needs to play in the reserves.

I understand Higgins was going to play but had to pull out at the last minute, Kear could have played one of the kids like Spiers or Trout. There's nothing left to play for this season, it's the perfect chance to give the young lads a shot in the first team, after all it's one of the major reasons P & R was done away with.

On Football Manager i'd never play a player who was under 85% fitness, I've won everything on there so I know what i'm talking about
