Didn't Liam Finn come from the championship?

He had a few years at Cas and under a coach who actually knows what he’s doing. Dean would be coming in after scoring against part timers into a ridiculously poor side.

Applegarth has already said during his post match interview yesterday that the halfbacks next week will be Smith & Lino.

Interview is here if anybody is interested. Applegarth is from about 27 mins in.

Thanks but 60 minutes of torture last night was enough for me without now listening to the post mortem !!

Tbf it was a decent interview.

Ok...you convinced me and I have to agree with you

He seems cool as a cucumber. I really hope he can turn it around as he’s Wakefield through and through.

Fev got beat without Dean today...shows what a difference a quality half back makes

Fev didn't have Ford either today (reportedly out with what might be a long-term knee injury) and four other regular starters, but there was more to it than that, just far too many errors.

Both Warrington and Fev seem very happy with the arrangement for Dean and I suspect Warrington will continue to want him playing behind a pack that, notwithstanding today, is usually on the front foot.

Yes,pity Gaskells injured, we could have done the neighbourly thing and loaned him to them, as a good will gesture.

The game was streamed live on The Sportsman and it was a bit of an error strewn knockonathon with some rugby mixed in. Halifax even coughed up the ball twice in the last two minutes but Fev returned the favour both times.
Craig Hall's attempt at a drop goal on 71 minutes, with the score at 18-18, was a giggle.
