I think we lost on tactics and adaptability today.
We should be able to handle a team going off side.

They played well and any team with Drinkwater and McGuire steering them around are going to be difficult to beat.
They realised how the game was going and reacted accordingly. We did not.

I didn't see anyone not putting effort in. Only people making wrong decisions.
That needs to be put right but it can be put right.

I'm pretty sure our season is not over yet.

Seen some cracking games over the years in far worse conditions than today and from so called part time players.Typical English spring weather and not an excuse to play like we’ve never seen rain before .
Still don’t move up to meet attacking players and still players stood receiving the ball, I’m no coach but I thought these were the basics no matter what the weather was doing.
Having said all this we”ll go to hull and give it to em ,because we are wakey and that’s how we roll .

Maguire spent 10 in the bin and they matched us , certain players need to give themselves a good shake.

2 points off 5th tonight.
All to play for

We always slip-up when we believe our own publicity. We are a much better side when we're the underdog with something to prove. I've lost count of the two-steps forward, one-step back over the years.

But I'd rather be a Wakey fan than a Wigan or a Leeds fan right now.

We lose on tactics every game. When we win it's in spite of the tactics and due to off the cuff bits of individuality.

I don't agree. Our tactics allow our backs to play like they do. It's not off the cuff.

We lost, could and should of won as frustrating as it is move on to the next game and support the lads.

Up the Trin

I can't just shrug that one off - it was bloody awful! Wherever a decision was to be made, we unerringly made the wrong one - and the inability to change tactics in the 2nd half when the weather fined up a bit was just baffling. It was almost as if someone had made a decision to freeze Johnstone out of the game on purpose - he was nothing more than a skinny prop for 90% of that game, which is just criminal.

Negative, amateurish and after a complete performance at Leeds last week, inexplicable.

I agree with everything you say it’s frustrating but what’s done is done hope they learn from it, the decision making was terrible.

Up the Trin

Agreed
How many repeat sets did we manage 2 ?
And as for "creating" anything, the less said the better, we were bloody awful.

Defensively we went well but with ball in hand it was as bad as it gets.

Just wondering why Chris Chester has looked time and again at the grounding for Johnstone's try frame by frame and says nothing was wrong.

Had it been a TV game and a video ref they wouldn't have got as far as the grounding. Johnstone's effort was disallowed for putting a foot on the touchline before launching himself and the touch judges flag immediately went up.

Result/performance aside for a second, Johnstone`s try was a perfectly good try, again 3 officials all within 1 to 2 metres of the ball on the ground, each with different angles and they cannot get it right? Picked up on it with the Catalans game finish, was given up as a no try so if there was no screen it would have been just disallowed straight away. Great piece of skill discounted all because of incompetent refereeing, also strange how not one of them spotted the clear knock on in the build up to the KR try?

Don`t think we deserved to win that game, thought we were poor and they looked the team more likely to score the whole game, but if the officials had got those calls right we probably would have come away with the 2 points.

What had the ball on the ground have to do with it if his foot had previously been in touch?
