| Cannot believe some of the posts on here. Sometimes teams like anyone else have a bad day at the office yesterday was one. I travelled down and was disappointed but in a two team game one has to lose and in the past we have lost plenty. Get up for next week now

| I don't think people on here have an issue with us losing, but it's in the manner in which we did it.
Twice this season, away, and to the same side.
When you've driven down, witnessed that and then drove back up, after watching effort by the team only in the final quarter, there's no wonder of the negativity.
I do believe in getting behind your team, but they're happy to take praise when deserved, they should also be prepared to take the flak when the brown stuff hits the fan. You would in any other walk of life

You need to carry on with high lighted bit mate and i never said all injuries are so no i dont disagree with myself and 25 years working in this makes me confident with what im saying but like ive said where all entitled opinions.

| Quote: Eastern Wildcat "Absolutely shocking Wakefield.
Another example of our inability to play for 80 minutes.
Can't use the injuries as an excuse, we had enough out there to beat them, or at the very least compete for a lot longer than we did.
We certainly aren't as good as what we are.
Good point made by Trinity 1315, regarding contracts and incentives. I remember when I started doing the salary cap, I had a meeting with a bloke at the RFL, who went through all the ins and outs, and he said that there were some teams that offered contracts, with incentives for players and some that didn't. At that time it was those teams with the incentives that were at the top of the league. The only thing though is it would all need logging in and reporting to them, and nothing being missed so there is no risk of breach'" I would of thought the incentive was to play for a team that could win a trophy and even better get selection for your country

| Well I've slept on it. Still annoyed at the team. Credit to London they played to their strengths and beat us again. We had no enthusiasm, they had it in spades. Our tackling in the first 60 was amateur to say the least. Glad we won't be travelling down next year as I would be giving it a miss after 2 visits this year.

For those that have watched Trinity for a long time, we are used to getting beaten and in itself, defeats are part and parcel of all sport.
However, Trinity are (in theory) a top 6 club and London, were rock bottom, with just 3 wins this season (4 after yesterday).
Defeats, when your side has left everything on the field are easy to deal with but, without wanting to take anything away from London, who clearly know how to beat us, to lose because of poor attitude and turning up soft is just not on.
After the opening day debacle, I said that the loss would cost us at the end of the season and now we've multiplied that x 2.
I agree that we all can have a bad day at the office but, having had such a poor experience against them for the season opener, this is unforgivable, really unforgivable.
You have to think that for whatever reason, the preparation and travel to this fixture wasn't right and we failed to learn anything from the earlier loss.
Changing the halves, who were just finding some understanding and dropping Jowitt, plus, the Sau / Pauli exchange dont seem to have helped.
But, this appears to be attitude, rather than ability, something which is down to the coach and his staff.
Having said that, the coaching staff dont drop passes and concede penalties or miss tackles.

I agree with a lot of what you say, but you can't seriously say Miller shouldn't have come back?! If he was 'medically' fit to play, then he was always going to come back, as will Broughy when he is fit, they are our first choice halves. Max has been a bit unlucky, but Hampshire was playing better at full back for me, and that was CC'S preferred choice before the halves got injured. The last time we played well was probably the Wigan game, when ironically or not the halves got injured?!
I also would blame the coaching staff to a degree, Ward seems to have out coached if you like Chester somewhat, and they are no mugs clearly, but the players must shoulder most of the blame, because that opening day defeat must have been still fresh in their minds, yet they probably played worse yesterday! They can't have much pride in their performance if they didn't want to rectify the wrongs in round 1?? I actually think it's good we have Catalans up next, that was almost like a final for them, lots of emotions etc, and i'm hoping they are a bit drained, and it's kind of after the Lord mayor's show etc....

| Having got up at 3 am flown back from Italy , rented a car and sat waiting 4 hours for the game to start absolutely gutted, left with ten minutes to go and has the 3.5 hour drive home.
Thought team selection was good enough, and was looking forward to the win. Left hand side was like a turnstyle in first twenty. First half we probably completed twenty percent of our sets , miller looked like he needed a game and couldn’t have tackled my granny, missed touch kicks , dropped balls on first tackle.
Thought London played a simple game and did it well.
Sure as hell won’t be going to magic

I picked this weekend as trip away in place of Liverpool. Probably still the best choice with the upcoming shafting Catalans are going to give our pussies.

Great effort form you there, absolutely commendable.
Pity the players didn't have the same commitment.
We all know that Catalan blow hot and cold and lets hope they are due a "cold" week next week.

too many of us thought it was going to be easy points and embarrassingly we've proved its not the case I for one would like them to stop up

Tbh I could see London beating Leeds , still have us to play again so it’s by no means certain that London are getting relegated .

A SQUAD GAME! with 4 points we should of got in London is going to cost us any hope of a top 5 position.
Max should straight our leave he isn't getting the opportunity at this club he deserves - how Reynolds is even in the same conversation as him is embarrassing

no us is and always will be a good season if we don't get relegated.
its just us fans who dared to dreamed when we got close to the semis last couple of years .
but realistically that was down to the big clubs have injuries to be fair and us having none

I just don't understand how we don't put effort in.
god knows how but this squad was third in the table! and 3 winnable games coming up to put his in 3rd on our own with daylight from 6th...
this squad had the chance to make the semi finals for the first time for the club in a long long time - how can there be no effort?
