He's just well past his best now and I reckon last nights standard performance hot on the heels of similar v Fev will see Hall and Langi take the centre positions next time out.

That’s may be the case but will Mash be his own man and play form players or will he play who he is told to by the CEO. Lynne is a well known fave of the CEO after all.

What a strange thing to say.

His work rate was phenomenal last night.
I'm still not sure about Langi at centre.
Hall and Murphy are an excellent pairing at centre and wing, both in attack and defence.
Langi maybe should be used as an impact player ?'"
As I’ve mentioned in an earlier post I’m not blaming Lineham for TJ’s tries I’m saying that I think Kershaw takes the ball up better than Lineham, who certainly played better than last time I saw him.

Why is it a strange thing to say? Or is it that you don’t agree with the underlying suggestion?

| McNamara complaining about the pitch, says he's never seen blood or blisters like it.

| Rewatched the game today. Our energy in the forwards was so sluggish, literally for the first 19 minutes hardly our forwards took a drive. I didn’t notice at the time but Atoni was either playing crook or really fatigued, was properly sluggish. Proctor looked perpetually knackered too. Our back 5 pretty much did the ground work, so wonder why our kick chase was laboured on any decent kick we actually did.

I said to my son during the warm up that some of them looked really knackered.

Good to see we have a fall guy to blame for the defeat .Every body on about Lynn running in to touch,help by 3 plus Catalan players..Nothing said about Murphy howler behind the try line for there first try ,Nothing said about Smith holding on to the ball and getting smashed on the sixth tackle about 30 yards from is try line .In the next set of six Catalan scored .In fact Catalan scored four trys by Wakefieds mistakes in our half.Stood against a scout for Wakefield, at the match and he said well into the second half ,he was very disappointed with Langi but would give him a few matches .Pity some of you can not do the same with Lynn .Do not think he was any were near the worst player on the pitch .You can not expect or wingers to look good when we do everything in the middle of the park at half pace

I agree with you.
That was probably Lynne's only mistake.
A few other players made significant mistakes.

It was Lynes only mistake but let’s not sugar coat it. It was the biggest mistake and we were in the ascendency in a critical part of the game. That completely swung the momentum.

| Quote: Trojan Horse "Just watched the TJ try where Lineham went for intercept. Clearly a forward pass, amazes me how not one of wakeys 3 marginal forwards got missed yet that one wasn’t picked up by the officials. I can’t wait to see the highlights. Looks like 2/3 of the Catalan try’s had questions on them.
For the actual game. I’m disappointed but not too down.
I said a few days ago Catalans would attack us on the edges and they did just that. Our edge and kick defence needs some work.
I thought in the middle we were mostly equal to Catalans. There were no line breaks I saw certainly down the middle. Defence overall was good. Certainly something to tidy up on the edges though.
We had a 10 minute spell where we gave the game away. Starting with Lyne running out towards touchline on 1st tackle. Then a few forward passes, knock on and getting caught on the last. It’s such a shame that we weren’t smarter thst period in second half.
I think the in field kicking needs to be better too.
I thought Grant was inconsistent in his reffing and use of six agains. It was infuriating the amount of wrestling that was happening.
Prime example - Whitbread landing fast on his front tried to get up 3 times to be held down and no six again. Yet late in thst second half a Catalan player landed on front close to line and tried to get up (soon as he got down) and ref couldn’t wait to wave his hands for six again. I absolutely hate that rule, it’s so inconsistent and just makes the referees look bias. The sooner they scrap it the better. I won’t get started on the offsides.
Regardless though we need to be smarter. I don’t think it’s cause for concern just yet. Thought we were mostly a match for Catalans. Just need to make some small improvements.
That right edge needs addressing though.
What’s up with that pitch? Doesn’t bode well for us having to play on it numerous times. Is there an issue with it?'"
Couldn't agree more about the six again rule. It stinks. I think there's an unconscious bias applied with it as well. Grant murdered us with six agains and often I was left scratching my head at the difference was to what he was l;etting catalan get away with. There was one instance second half where a Wakey player won the ruck and a Catalan player was left on the deck behind the Wakey man on the floor and the Catalan player grabbed the wakefield player (who was on his knees about to regain his feet) and pulled him back towards him in a second effort and it still didn't get given as a six again. Not to mention the amount of times they were holding on to players and having hands in when Wakey players had regained their feet. Thought thy were very messy in the ruck and Grant just let it go all day. Evene radio leeds mentioned the reffing in that respect.
