He did. He was no better than Gaskell.

I'd say losing Jowitt and Murphy. They're about the only two X-factor players we have.

And how many points did we score

I've just listened to the post match interview and Applegarth shows absolutely no understanding of the position the club is in, or, more importantly, how to get out of it.

Least alot will be happy that gaskell going to be out for a few weeks

Ive seen more attacking flair in the amateur game absolute disgrace. Just don't know where we go from here.

The Coach got the players he asked for from Mr Carter .He had been on the first team coaching staff all last year .If he could not see after Miller left that a class stand of was too of the list. W Poaching had to work with a squad he was given .Think questions should be asked about who were the players who complained about his coaching ,because it is now clear to everyone one who went tonight what a bad call it was to get rid .We left with 30 seconds on the clock ,but Wakefield fans were leaving way before that ,and a lot were saying it is the worse attacking back 7 they had seen ,And some of them had watched as long as I have .Our attack is not up to the top half teams in the champions. The team is just a set of old players who faid in the second half

Well it was 0-0 with Gaskell and 26-0 with Smith...



Seriously though i'm not convinced either is a super league standard halfback but Smith now has his chance to prove himself in that position. And God knows we need him to.

Something has to give and quickly, we are dire and not scoring a single point in 3 games is humiliating.

Poching ultimately had better players to work with, as did Chester, and for large parts of the last 5 years we were poor. This squad isn't a patch on last seasons so it's no wonder we are struggling. We have no game breakers (other than Jowitt, Murphy and Tanginoa). The rest are just work horses at best. Pitts and Ashurts are the least dynamic back rowers in the competition. Lino only seems to spark when there is about 10 minutes left and then its often headless chicken time. Gaskell may as well not bother for all the impact he has on a game. Not seen enough of Smith in the halves to fully comment but there is a reason why he was in the championship and not SL.

Can't wait can you to stick the boot in....
Yes he has in a different coaching role FFS.

And now he's head coach and completely failing at it.
