Quote: GET EM ON SIDE REF "Pleased to see us signing young British players

But anybody with eyes can see that we are desperate for 2 decent props and 2 half backs my fear is we will get none other than a couple of loans it’s not looking too bright enjoy the season it’s our last one for my money

Sadly that's very hard to disagree with.

Another moan I know but it would have been nice to see the full match report and interview up on our site as with the Rhinos. Instead we have www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/2011 ... -wildcats/

I agree with The Trip. I thought it was disgusting that all we can offer is a couple of lines instead of a match report.

Not really cost effective. Leeds had all their 'admin' staff working and they could also 'piggy back' the costs on the RU game. Are you expecting WT to spend money on match report/interview facilities for an away friendly? The professional sports media organisations, how did they report the game? Not seen a report for the Express, YEP,Y Post or other sites. Much more financially efficient to see JK's interview on the Leeds site.
I'd much rather see the money where it would have the most benefit, but if you feel that this is on the reporting of an away friendly.

And probably still will be come June!

No doubt it will be the subject of many a thread as the season progresses.

Excuses Excuses, Yawn Yawn, We obviously had someone updating the site because they stuck up the result and team. All I am stating is that it would not have taken any longer to put a link into the report and video link of JK, I'm sure the ERhinos would not have objected.

The Trip is right,
it doesn't cost that much to knock up a bit of a report even if it was one sided and just about our positives, this why we are looking so amateurish

Don't talk daft; no-one expects them to send an outside broadcast unit - a decent match report and a link to the interview would have been enough.

Unfortunately, we don't seem to have anyone at the club who understands the importance of a proper communication strategy - it's a problem that comes up time and again.

i have to agree with the original post and title of this thred. the balance of the side is wrong.
yesterday, we had no "gears". when leeds stepped up the pace, they blew us away. i cannot recall us making more than 2 passes in any play.

i would have thought that the squad wanted to play rugby, but the style of play looked all too familiar to me (same as the end of last season). none of our problems from last year have been addressed (poor defense out wide, struggle to clear our own line, kicking game not up to it etc)

i went to the match hoping to see some hope, but came away very deflated. if the game was a trial as to who we were going to keep for next season, then we would have korky and paul johnson, + possibly tommy lee. the rest did nothing to enhance / prove anything.

kear has always built his teams around a big pack with a creative scrum half. we now have neither.

Would expect that all concerned with Trinity, including fans and staff, went home reasonably happy yesterday. THATS WHAT A FAN ON HERE THOUGHT ABOUT IT

One Question...

Why didnt we have the names printed on the back of the shirt?

We have a new team basically so to enable the fans to get to know the players as quickly as possible surely the best idea was to have the names printed on the back.

The squad numbers were given out early december.

No excuses can be given for this imo

I have to say I wasn't attracted to the light blue away kit IMHO it has no affinity to Wakefield Trinity.

In my opinion Kear is in the process of clearing the deadwood from last season and replacing them with young, enthusiastic and determined english lads. The likes of Gledhill and Johnson at prop are a prime example however, there's a knack to accompanying that youth with season experienced pro's and those with quality in pivotal positions.

Three area's worry me, two of which Kear touched upon (Prop & SH), the last, Defence (Goal Line more over), which never showed signs of improving last season. I do believe Kear is in danger of losing his job if the back end of last season is repeated
