May have been more to do with the quallity of them, not signing world class players and getting Aspinwall instead.

people don't seem to understand that SL isn't as attractive to the Aussie's and Kiwi's as it was a few years ago, the poor exchange rate and tightening up of tax loopholes means it isn't as good a payday.

There have been very few big name signings from the NRL this year, Hohaia and Waterhouse are the only two I would consider household names.

I don't think Agar and Gentle did a bad job with the signings they made for us (Hull fan in Agar compliment shocker!)

That was a pretty dour affair, particularly in the first half, which was significantly less entertaining than watching the mighty Sandal Spartans U13's beat Lindley Swifts yesterday morning.

The second half livened up a bit, particularly in the last 20; for mine, Ganson saved Hull from us nicking it at the end - what the bleeding hell he was up to when Moa went hunting again was a total mystery; on report but no penalty, and a lovely gesture to make a player leaving the field with a head injury come back on to play the ball - bonkers. There's some improvement in us and in decent conditions, I think our pace and fitness will see us get some good wins.

As for Hull FC and their 'big club, top 4' mentality - I just don't see it; they were dull, cynical and like us, lacked the ability to finish. Gentle out.

I don't think Moa went headhunting from where I was sat (south stand) your player Southern? went into a tackle then young Ellis hit him hard and he fell to the ground quickly with Moa in the middle of attempting a big shot expecting Ellis to hold the player up and as the player went down Moa tried to hurdle over the player and caught him by accident with his trailing leg. It was put on report because Ganson or his touch judges didn't seem to see what had happened (no change there then).

I certainly don't see us in the top 4 this season and neither do most of our fans, the conditions killed any chance of an open expansive game and lead to mostly barging down the middle. Our execution was very poor but Wakey defended well. Good luck for the rest of the season (apart from the return game at your place )

Two things that give me belief that this side is going in the right direction, firstly is that Agar's got the side very fit, fitter than I've seen a Wakey side in years, a side where they seem to get stronger in the last 20 minutes, which is really encouraging. Secondly, he's got the defensive patterns well drilled and that makes us harder to breakdown and beat, he's basically laid good foundations with which to develop.

The attacking side of things will get better as the season goes on, when the players become more confident and used to each others style of play. We've seen the attack in glimpses so far this season and you can tell when it clicks, especially when the ground hardens up, it will be pretty good but Agar has still got to sort out who the strongest side is and where to make best use of all the players.

Did you have a pair of binoculars with you and the ability to slow down time?

All I saw was Moa flying in like Superman trying to put a billy bigshot on Southern and getting it wrong - again.

Nope I was just saying what I thought happened, Moa was going for a big shot on Southern but then pulled out of it and jumped over Southern, if you want to talk about headhunting look no further than your own Richie Mathers and to a lesser extent Ben Cockayne.

Mathers is not a headhunter - Cockayne does get a bit carried away sometimes, but his discipline has been much improved thus far.

Still want to know why Hull did not put 40 plus points against a very poor side ?.
Forgot its Agars fault eventhough Hull have 8 new players,Forgot again they need time to gel those 8,Forgot again Hull had to change the game plan because the weather only effected them.
I blame Agar for them not putting 40 plus on us,Well done Richard Agar

The weather affected both sides and made it a battle of the forwards, which we won hands down. Wakefield really struggled to contain them and couldn't make any ground themselves.

The reason we didn't score though was dumb plays in your 20m. We had too many chances and still couldn't find the right play other than scooting from dummy half or sending in a crash ball. If we tried something we dropped it.

Wakefield managed to score two, and must only have had about three scoring opportunities all day. That's worrying for both teams. If our full back didn't have a brainfart, and your players not been lucky with the kick that was meant to be a catch, you'd have been nilled.

Both teams really need to work on their attack.

Or, without the black and white specs on - both teams defended extremely well, but couldn't find an attacking spark?

I thought we were a very poor side so whats that say about Hull ?
Not a lot me thinks

All Trys are scored in Rugby from mistakes.

Thats probably the biggest load of gash i've ever read on RLfans and i've seen a fair few gash posts in my time.

Have a look on the Hull board - it's full of stuff like that!
