Staying up should be easily achievable but you really need to kick on next season and some how increase the attendances.
Not easy I know.'"
Stopping getting beat by 50+ points every match will increase attendances it's as simple as that.

Agree 100% mate but I don't know where you start. Winning a few would be great but seeing the team that turns out giving their all for the full 80 minutes would be a start. Haven't seen your remaining fixtures so I don't know if there are any you would be targeting for wins.

| Quote: Wakefield No 1 "He sounded very positive in his interview on bootsnall just now, he certainly has the experience. Looking forward to seeing what he can do with this team, especially the defence!!!'"
What I like is that not only does he sound positive but so do others when commenting on his appointment. I haven't heard one negative point about him and if he transfers that belief we will improve and beat the drop

Only the usual idiot brigade slated Blaymire - never in a million years an International due to his astonishing lack of pace but did the basics for us and allowed what limited resources we had to be spent on Drew and Brough.

| Whilst talking about full backs, what does Max Jowitt have to do to get a run out??? Having seen him on many occasions throughout his short career, there is no fear of us been any worse off as a team by giving him a chance and the lad is a natural full back. The only one in the squad in fact!!
Back on topic, any update on when BS will arrive, if he hasn't already?

| Back on topic, I'd say the appointment of Smith for a year is a very smart move. As his remit will be to solely focus on staying up this year, he's experienced enough to not give a toss if he puts any players noses out of place, and focus on what he can achieve in the short term. The only bad things I've heard about him are that his interpersonal skills aren't great with some players, and that he can be 'overly technical' - both complaints also levelled at his brother, usually by players he doesn't rate.
I really don't think Wakey could have picked anybody better for the short-term.
Hope this appointment has cheered you fans up.
