Lets hope the lad has a cracking game because we're lacking an in form stand-off and it's a great opportunity for him to show us what we've missed.

We've missed the ball back inside but don't worry it returned today!

Not a surprise really.

Thats his only trick in his locker though, offers nothing else imo

At least he had a trick!

He did OK tbh - but he was only on for around 20 minutes.

OK is probably on the generous side, but he came on when we were already chasing the game so mistakes were inevitable I suppose.

Personally I think Jamie's time at Wakefield has to come to an end sooner rather than later - he didn't really show that much creativity last year and I think if we're honest the main reason we have high expectations of him is because of his Shrek look-a-like namesake at Old Trafford.

On the way back north I tried to think of any of the sides in SL who would genuinely want Jamie as an improvement in their half-backs and could only come up with Celtic!

We need to have half backs who are creative and who (perversely) other SL teams want to snatch from us - Jamie is neither of these. I know he's had a bit of a rollercoaster personally over the last couple of years, but we can't carry players for sentimental reasons.

Sorry Jamie - you've served us well, but it's time for you to move on for the sake of both the club and your own career.

Good to see that youve given him a real chance to reproduce the form he is capable of!!!
Like so many fans on this forum you seem fickle in the extreme.

I'd accept that I was being fickle if he'd created countless tries last year and I was judging him on 1 match today, but he had a poor season last year and didn't seem to have any new ideas today.

I'd rather see any player leave us when their game is showing signs of starting to decline, rather than renew their contract in the hope that things turn around for them only to see the decline continue. By leaving at the end of this year, Jamie could at least walk away with his head held high and with everyone's (including mine) thanks for his service & best wishes for the rest of his career.

.....and the fact he hasn't played much in the past few years..

harsh I know but true

the situation with a local player that you tend to like, and shows promise but then not come up to expectations becomes difficult and embarrassing in the end,
Jamie has had a tough time of it of late and is suffering in finding his form due to not getting a constant game, as yet I would stand by him but sure he knows his time at wakefield is becoming no.1 choice is getting slimmer, would he be willing to play second fiddle or would he move back to fev

Less perversely, if other SL teams did want to snatch one of our half-backs, they would, and then we would be back where we started.

I know it's a couple of years away at least, but I put a lot of faith in our new ground. It will attract more marketing opportunities and fans, and thus more money, and we will be a team players will want to play in, in front of good crowds in good surroundings. Then maybe we'll start to snatch other SL teams must-have players.
