I thinks it's about time CC took Tupou to one side and gave him a bloody good bollocking about dying with every chuffin ball he gets. That break by Paulie Paulie had try written all over it until BT failed to get his winger away. With a kick to come we would've been just 4 behind with plenty on the clock.
Not one pass from him throughout the full 80!

We bombed too many chances in that 1st half. WTF was Wood doing when he had Jowitt on his shoulder with a clear run under the sticks and he threw a wild pass out wide somewhere. The kick earlier when two of our guys just ran over the ball in goal.

Why so many surprised comments. Its far easier for any Trinity fan to go in to any game with no expectations . Its what wakey do best. Must say with the squad we had and last seasons results I honestly expected a much better season, but if any club can f***** it up it ours.

I think what hurts me most is seeing a local lad Matty English have the enthusiasm to rip us open, one part of my was pleased to see him score, watching his development through the years at Stanley Rangers and Outwood school he's turning into a no nonsense forward

He's not the 1st and he won't be the last Wakefield area player to take the Shudds dollar. Did he have any affinity to Trinity prior, because he clearly had no respect for the Wakefield fans he gestured to after scoring.

I don't think he did, at the time there was a lot of clubs after him and I think even us showed interest but at the time, Shudds was flying high with expectations and it was local to travel to rather than wigan and wire

Hmm. It's the only Cup we have a cat in Hell's of winning. I am very disappointed but I couldn't go, so can't comment on the performance. All I can say is, we are a worse side than last season. I held judgement on this till now, especially with the fixture list we had, but the HKR performance was far from completely convincing. As someone who got berated pointed out, we were very poor for 20 mins in the first half and could have gifted a game to a team we are better than on paper. Yes, we put some good stuff together...in the end, with some good play, some lucky breaks and a strangely beneficent Mr Child, we got a scoreline I never felt comfortable getting carried away with. I suspected we'd get beaten last night and so it was. I think the 'Chester Out' title is harsh at the moment ....but I would have to say there is something very wrong with the way we are playing when in possession and it needs fixing fast or we will be having a very poor season and maybe even a middle 8 scrap. At the end of the day, who is out there better to replace him, unless we get John Kear back!? If we destabilize the ship now I would fear for us big time. Although I have my concerns, I think it's cool heads time, as badly disappointed as I am by this defeat and another Cup Final free year

Sadly, you are about 249k out.

He’s been on loan at dewsbury with Jordan Snowie, like you rightly say, a no nonsense prop, does the basics right, good to see Hudds bring him in and show trust, hope he keeps his spot.

yes I saw he had been to dewsbury, another of one of their players is a leeds lad played for Hunslet park side Billy Hayes not sure if he's now made a full move to them, he showed potential to be a very good scrum half but seemed to disappear for a period as lads do.

nice to see lads progress even if its not for your club you support

It would have been if we’d made the final! Thats the figure Steve Gill quoted as Cas making in 2014 ( getting confused in my anger last night!).

There was though an uplift in attendances during our run in the other games that seasons that put money in the coffers and it raised the clubs profile, something which for clubs like ours is priceless. Cup runs make it a lot easier to balance the books moving forward.

Rofl....

You know what its like on here.

The World has ended

till next week


...and then it'll be about to end !


I'm going to Ikea now, that is truly going to be life ending experience

Are you saying that financially, we're better off out of the cup ?
We certainly wont have made a fortune on our share last nights gate, which was pitiful, but, there's some brass to be made if we could get as far as Wembley.
