I don’t think the loss of the match against Leigh is the fault of WP. For the same reason I don’t think all the losses under CC were his fault either.
Probably it’s a player thing, they’re not up for it, maybe some not fully fit or simply not good enough in quality. Maybe even a combination of all.
I’ve seen dozens of coaches come and go at Wakefield and only rarely does changing the coach make a long term difference. Most of them for one reason or another don’t last long.
Usually a ‘good’ coach is surrounded by good players he CAN coach!

Thought we just lacked composure, was disappointed to say the least. Another day we could have hammered them, we really missed joe westermans ball handling and read near line, dominated for long periods. Don’t think we learnt anything new tbh.

Can’t really see why WP gets any blame on this, too many mistakes by individual players.

Thought Rocky was mom and that Crowther demonstrated if he’s anything he’s a loose forward.

Or, Leigh were just better on the day

Forgot to say that bit!

The players did seem to take the game too lightly and perhaps that's because we'd won a few on the bounce and Leigh already had the wooden spoon in their trophy cabinet.

However, it's the coaches job to make sure that they ARE up for it and to find a way of not allowing complacency to creep in.

Having said that, in 30+ years of watching Trinity we've always had the knack of losing "easy" games and equally, dumbfounding the pundits by beating "loftier" opposition (as we did v Warrington).

So ive read today that the following jave applied and been interviewed

Paul anderson
Mcdermott
A henderson
Danny ward
WP

Dont know how true this is but if it is true really dontknow who i want between ward Mcdermott and poaching so im just gonna wait n see and support who ever gets it

Willie with Hendo as assistant for me.

I'd probably go Poching/Anderson/Henderson as all OK but no thanks to McDermot or Ward.

Where did you read it, Luppy?

And you heard that at which chippie?

That’s just a made up list of names mentioned on hear.

I seriously doubt that’s how it works except in the minds of posters on here.

FWIW I doubt we’ve interviewed anyone for the head coaches job, I suspect that went to WP a bit back but I may be wrong.

Of those names only Ward stands out as an asst coach as I suspect WP knows him well but like everyone else I’m guessing.

I will be honest, I read the same on the red, white and blue army.

The names don’t surprise me, though I’ve heard McDermott mentioned more than once.

We’ll just have to wait and see

according to an "insider" at another club, Mcdermott was interviewed by Trinity and was told that he hadn't got the job. I would be happy with Poching as head coach with Ward as his assistant .
