anyone who saw horo play last year should of seen what we were getting.

And I thought he was below par last night. His defence was shocking and a couple of times he seemed to slow the attack when he joined the line. I did think his support play was as good as ever, and you’d put your mortgage on him to take every high ball that goes up.

What negativity is this, you know whats going on in the camp do you?

Pure comedy gold

Horo had a mare in the penalty count, but otherwise he had a good game.

It seems obvious that Pauli Pauli is carrying an injury from the way his leg is strapped up, and he is playing in colder and muddier grounds than he is used to and after a long lay-off. He's going to get better as he gets fitter and the grounds get harder. He'll be a fan favourite by the end of the summer, and at least he is recovering his fitness against beatable teams and in games we are winning.

More than you I suspect.

A couple of weeks ago Chester said Paulis knee was strapped up as a precaution from an old injury.

Yes I read that , am sure he will come good but at minute he’s probably our least effective forward / mainly due to low time on pitch ,

Yeah, I don't get the overreaction from some about Horo. Yes, he played poorly yesterday but that can happen to the best but personally, before that he'd played pretty good and was deserving of his place.

Someone mentioned they don't know why Hirst has been dropped down the pecking order, who says he has. CC just might be trying t manage his props and get some game time into the likes of Baldwinson. TBh though when I watched the reserves game I thought he might go for him over Hirst. He was just generally busier, ready to take the ball more and was faster into the tackle. Hirst is obviously a bigger man but Baldwinson is a good size Prop and with having so many giants he maybe thought we could do with a bit more pace in the front row.

Why change my chippy, probably one of the best in Wakefield, and they are passionate about the team too.

As for knowing what's going off, then no I don't, as probably not many on here do either Vasty, that is apart from you, but as you have pointed put on numerous occasions, too much negativity and idle gossip, can have a negative impact and disrupt the team.

As others have said CC said it's an old injury he straps up for precautionary reasons, nothing to do with the leg break or the car crash. Agree with the rest. Wood in an interview said he'd come over missing a fair bit of preseason and wasn't as fit as he normally would be because of his leg break. So he's no doubt behind all the other players in terms of where they are in their fitness.
It seems obvious that CC is trying to ease him in gently over these first few games and with those gadgets on their back will be monitoring his progress as each game passes. Even at this point, you can see what he's going to bring when he hits peak form, he's already a complete handful for opposition defenses but isn't playing big enough minutes quite yet.

So before yesterday he'd hardly made an error or given a penalty away. There's no doubt though after yesterday he could do better and as a guy coming into a new side, I'd expect him to gradually settle in more and improve. Saying that I wouldn't be surprised if next game CC may get Batchelor in for example. Just to say if you play poor and you can lose your place because we've got these young guns on your heels, just to keep the players on their toes.

Wakey don't even get a mention on the front page os League Express!

3 wins from 3 and people are picking fault with individual players as though they watched every move they made in all 3, that's 3
just to emphasize 3, games
Reality check time!!
