| Quote: ball-in-hand "Enjoyed the game tonight. The team on the field is not far off being competitive. Its difficult for Chester as he can never field the same team two games running however Jowitt needs to be first choice full back. We need an organising half back to partner Miller and a replacement for Kopczac who can break a tackle . The three quarters can match any in the league but without a half back to dictate the plays they are less effective. Very impressed with BJB since he came back . Lynne is making some good yards. Tupou had his best game of the season tonight and Pitts Westerman and Tanganoa have been our most consistent performers.'"
Fifita ???
Agree with all that  |

| Quote: wakefield1990 "It’s the spine that defines any attack and ours isn’t good enough imo. Walker hasn’t done a thing since coming from London, Hampshire & Jowitt are streets ahead. I’m not jumping on Walker as he seems low on confidence but the fullback role is key to any attack, especially when you’ve got a left edge of TJ and Bill. Imagine them on the outside of French for example.
It certainly wasn’t the forwards who lost the game tonight, they matched Wigan if not bettered.
All in all a decent performance and one we could have won.'"
Half of our forwards. Kopjack and westerman are past this level. Bad recruitment that weakens us over 80 min. They are lower league imo now |

Westerman has probably been our best forward this year with the exception of Tanginoa, yes he’s at the end of his career but he certainly gives his all and gives us that extra ball handling forward |

Yep, Westerman has been good, before Kopczak came he was getting played off the bench at Salford, I think it's time to do the same and start Tangata. |

Well played Trin, good effort, they gave it their best shot.'"
Walker didnt have ball taken off him, the second tackler in just stopped him grounding it |

Yes Miller played well .. no he didn't silence the critics ! We had enough ball and field position to win any game. |

| Quote: Willzay "We went toe -to - toe with one of the best teams in the league and people still aren’t happy. Jesus. Most people on here expected Wigan to thump us.
A few stand outs for me. One, Miller. Even though we lost that was his best game this year for me. Two, I think Crowther and Wood really compliment each other at 9. The timing of the pass for Arona’s try was spot on.
But we really do need to stop standing so flat at the opposition line.'"
Agree though crowther was superb as was arona kelpi and billy miller was ok but still not creating owt..the problem is its still another defeat 5 wins in 28 or 29 v sl teams no
We should of won tonighy we had more possession and alot of good field postion but couldnt score wigan go up other end and score as charlie63wildcat said |

I thought we started a fresh set of six after, Bibby looked confused so reckon we got awarded a ball steal??

If it's the loan one, wasn't he injured? |

If any of your attitude rubs off on your son it's not difficult to see where some of the player problems stem from. Seemed a much happier bunch tonight without Rocky on the field. With Max our best full back I'm not sure where Rockys future lies. |

Crowther would be the first name on the team sheet for me, but not at hooker. I’d give him the 13 shirt and build the side around him, Johnstone and Jowitt.

| Quote: MOPSEY LIVES ON "I’m fine but thanks for your concern, the reason why we’ve played well against Wigan twice is that we have managed to get parity with there young forwards. I simply don’t accept mediocrity like most people 5 from 28 is simply unacceptable'"
You seem to have a bit of an obsession with the age of the pack.Starting packs tonight there was actually very little difference between average age - Wigan (27 year old),Wakefield (28.3 year old).
Saints probably field the oldest average age pack each week.
Are you ageist ? 
I actually agree its time for a change of coach.
Ive no idea who you are,if its true you are the father of a player it doesn't make your comments any less valid,but i would question for the sake of your son whether this forum is the right place to voice them. |
