He signed a new 2 year contract a few days ago...

Cool thanks for the reply!

Would have to add Scruton to the list as well...he was our best forward today and was shouting at the rest of the team when we bombed yet another half-chance in their 20.

I know Tim Smith is the club pariah at the moment and some don't want him pulling on a Wakefield shirt again, but worst case scenario for his court appearance this week will be a ban and fine, so he will be available next week and for me has to play, because without him leading us around the park, we are screwed !!
I think we made one clean break today against a championship side (and then managed to drop the ball with the line begging ) and that was from a tackle bust. We created absolutely nothing in attack, it was yet another lacklustre, sub-standard, dire performance, and having Miller and Godinet as our two half-backs simply does not work. Neither is capable of setting up a structured team attack, and neither has a kicking game.

IF WE WANT TO STAY IN SUPERLEAGUE, TIM SMITH HAS TO PLAY !!!!!!!!!

Someone has posted Brian Smith has said Tim Smith won't play for Wakefield again...

No great loss. Whilst he may have been on the pitch he's only played once (v Bradford)

Quite honestly, based solely on his time at our club I think Tim Smith would be a bigger loss than Brian Smith.

Agree completely the bloke has no balls and is lazy. People who are saying we desperately need him next week......what difference will he make? Have people forgot that he has played nearly every game...we have been crap nearly every game and so has he.

Signed a contract extension with us last week.

Tim Smith has been a load of pony all season and in the two times he has played with us scored about 12 tries- great half back play! As for today the best played was the one who has been out for about four months- Danny Kirmond. Johnstone made a good break and the score could have been levelled until the ball was dropped by yet another Wakefield played who can't catch. I'm afraid we could be on the wrong end of a drubbing next week. After 3 coaches it must be the players who are at fault. On another topic what happened at the back of the stand. I heard it involved MC?

Well that was a very poor game today from both sides in my opinion. The referee was also crap..head high shots and blatant off side from Sheffield going unpunished on several occasions.

Despite that Trinity were awful the worst I personally have seen them play in 35 years and I will not be spending more on watching that tripe next week.

Except for Kirmond, Johnstone, Scruton and Simon they are all an absolute joke unprofessional and showing a complete lack of skill composure or commitment. Kirmond has not played since June but was our best player by a long way in my opinion.

It's a fair point about the Cas rejects. It's one thing getting players from the Rhinos when they can't break into the squad, as they bust a gut to prove themselves, like Amor. It's another getting ones who Cas took on hoping for better but turned out to be duds (Tansey, Moore). Is there a single one of these bargain purchases who have been worth the money? Even Sammut was a waste of a shirt.

Maybe this is the reality of our means. Or just bargain shopping masquerading as it and being found out.

Or being naïve and clueless in recruitment.

There is a certain negativity about it, relying wholly on a profit, nothing else. We have decided that we won't spend money until the fans come through the turnstiles in greater numbers, rather than spending money to provide an incentive to get them through the turnstiles. Speculate to accumulate and all that.

It's not that we get the team we deserve, but that the club gets the support it deserves.

No one runs a rugby club to make money, and it's easy for me to say whatever I want when it's not my money on the line, but if you budget on 3K crowds, you get a team that deserves no more.

Carter will get the attendance figures he deserves.

what ever we are paying him is a waste of money
