The pack did ok. Thought Anderson showed very well for first game back. The backs were shocking. I was one of the few who spent my hard earned money last night. Most would say I'm foolish and I'm beginning to think I am. Cannot see another win unless someone is brought in to shake things up. There seems to be no spirit and that's not the Wakefield way.

The most gutless Wakefield side I've seen since god knows when. Don't have any enthusiasm and don't even seem to get the basic stuff right. Little effort expended. Webster is so clearly out of his depth because he can't even motivate his side to make an effort.

If we manage to survive, which we don't deserve, season tickets next year will be a disaster, because everyone will know all that matters is July onwards. No one is even being entertained for their money.

ThInk my trip to France will for sightseeing. At this rate it doesn't seem worth going to the game.

Totally agree. None of the basic requirements of a rugby league team are evident and considering this is the most expensive squad we have ever had, the coaching staff and the majority of the players should hang their heads in shame.

I think that's the thing that annoys me the most about this whole situation. We have always been behind the 8 ball in terms of quality and spend compared to most (if not all) of the other teams in Superleague. We have never, ever been the worst on effort and spirit, in fact that is what has pulled us through many times and ensured we have not finished in that bottom place.
This team is seriouly lacking in that department. There seems to be a resignation when gathered under the sticks after conceding a try, that it is just the first of many. Nobody is talking, geeing the team up, they just all stand there looking forlorn and sorry for themselves. Sometimes things don't go your way boys, but you're paid to do a job, so stop feeling that it's someone elses fault, stop feeling sorry for yourselves, get back on the horse and go out there and prove that you deserve to wear our famous shirt, because right at this moment in time I'd take it off all bar about 3 players. This is our club that you're destroying, you can always go get a job at another club (although ot sure many would want you at the minute) whereas we can't go find another team to support.

Scott Anderson, Mickael Simon and Danny Washbrook are about the only ones that can hold their heads up at the minute. The rest for me just seem to be going through the motions. Have all the rest of them just accepted their fate, and decided they can do nothing to change it? If so, we need a head shrink to convince them otherwise, as actually they are the only ones who can change it. Find that Wakefield spirit and utilise it, refuse to lie down and be beaten! As a group of players they have the talent to dig themselves out of this hole, they just need to find the motivation and belief. This club has been fighting on all fronts for a long time, don't be the ones that finally let it succumb, get out there and make the fans feel that you're as proud to wear OUR shirt as we are.

Rant over!

How many will have sorted their futures out already? They are few Trinity products in the current line up who would naturally give a stuff about the club more than it just being a job.

The anti-tamper deadline was 1st May, not that it is ever actually stuck to. So guys out of contract like McShane, Godinet, Ryan, Riley etc may well know their destinations next year. All the others who are in contract would be free agents anyway at the end of season if we go down. If we do drop then the club will lose out on a fair amount of possible cash assets in transfer fees.

In the past if it looked like we may go early we could have cashed in on one or two players to teams who were pushing in other areas or were much more likely to be playing superleague next year. Now because of the super 8's we have to hang on to those making the financial hit even harder should, as looks likely right now, go down. From a Wakey supporting point of view i am probably at my lowest ebb in all my years following them, i see no future for this club.

I thought our pack did ok with ball in hand last night, but defensively we are so poor it is untrue. No line speed and absolutely no slide. That comes from coaching but mainly fitness. A side only has to put 2 passes, an offload or a step back in side and the gaps are just there.

We need to find the funds (try to find a taker for Sammut?) to get someone like John Kear in to oversee the whole lot (and maybe force Websters hand a little). Im not JK's biggest fan when it comes to style of rugby and junior development, but atleast he would increase the intensity and get the team working. Something that is seriously, seriously lacking.

Most of them need X-raying to see if there's any pride or passion in there.

pretty sure he would be our starting stand off under any new coach. Hall is terrible there and creates nothing and Miller's form is woeful at the moment

You are very touchy my friend, and i guess you woke up on the wrong side.

The most noticeable thing for me was the kick chase, the ball was in the air for ages but the players just appeared to saunter up. No aggression, no passion, no heart.
