| I was happy with the pack yesterday so would leave that exactly the same, except hooker maybe.
The backs were well outgunned against Salford but stood up well (ish). I don't think they'll have the same kind of onslaught against Bradford.
Our kicking game is the biggest thing that has to improve. First half was horrible, which invited Salford back on to us when we were in the arm wrestle.
If we can put an attacking kick in on the 6th tackle, or at least pin them back rather than giving them a tap on the 20 metre line it gives us much more field position.
If that one thing had changed yesterday we would have won. The other errors for me came from that issue, whether through fatigue or through having to take a chance when we should have been camped on their line.

I'd like to see Godinet in for Moore if he is fit and also wouldn't mind seeing Ali in there somewhere. He adds something a little different to our other forwards and would give Bradford problems. Either way i expect us to come out on top against them on our own ground and relatively confortably after an early arm wrestle. We'll shut them up and do them by at least a dozen.

| Lynne is one of our best backs and people say he wants dropping because he can not catch chase.Chase is one of the faster players in rugby and as scored long range try,s against all teams tupou is a strong player who is getting stick for one bad call . Thinks it is funny how chase had the last laugh on the Wake,y fans who had been trying to take the p---s out of him all the game

| Quote bellycouldtackle="bellycouldtackle"Anderson is poor weak player ( anyone know why he was allowed to go to Amsterdam the weekend before a big game ) , Simon is not a 13, Moore is a poor player.
Tim Smith has to play as he is our only creative player.
Got to presume that Godinet is not fit, but if was fit then Coach Smith made another poor selection. So for me he has to play against Bradford.
Anakin must play.
On paper Bradford are a much better team than us, they are bigger, fitter, faster, more skillful, have a better kicking game, have confidence from winning games. So we are going to have to be at our best to have a chance. That said we ran Salford close and they are a better team than us. I think that if Coach Smith selects the right players in their correct position we have a chance all be it a small chance of upsetting the odds.'"
How do you get, bigger, fitter, faster and more skilful
They've been good in a lower league and aren't as good as when they played in SL (from which they were relegated)

| I think Belly should be watching Bradford then.
Apart from Annakin he doesn't seem to like anything about Wakefield.

The banter between Chase and the Wakey fans goes way back to his Cas days. He gives plenty back when he ends up on top.

How ironic it was when he moaned about a leading arm and got put on his arass  He ruined Rapartis career with probably the cheapest shot in RL history.

| In all fairness I think Rangi let you off lightly after his full length try, didn't see him direct anything to the Wakefield supporters which was surprising given the grief he got.

| Pop Tart, I have moaned about the club not having a Rugby committee to advise the board re players, as a result we have had our legs lifted. Webster was allowed to sign a bunch of useless soft forwards, only Simon has looked the part. Other than Simon and Anakin I do not remember any aggression from a single Wakey forward all season. And as for Anderson Dreadnought , wow he really bossed that Salford pack yesterday. Him and Scruton really smashed in and got us going forward. I moaned about Ian Kirke as its a disgrace that he has had the time off that he has had.This is not me being clever after the event, I was posting about it six weeks into his 16 week holiday for a slight groin pull. The time off the players have been given, the lack of fitness. The signing of known poor players , Anderson in amsterdam the week before the Salford game. The total lack of respect shown to Anakin, and the final nail in the coffin the ridiculous swap of MacShane , a real quality player, with Scot Moore, a real poor player just beggared belief. So Pop Tart I suppose you are correct there is little to like on the Rugby front. That said I understand that there was effort on Sunday and that has to be admired, the pity is that we have allowed the standard of player to drop so far that effort alone will not get us a result against Bradford and Leigh as both those teams now have superior players to us in almost every position.

You're late to the party; Wakey fans and Rangi Chase go back a lot further than his recent stop-start Salford career, hence the stick he got.
