To be honest you do come across as a grade ‘A’ prat. It’s nowt to do with you. Feel free to disappear back down the hole you crawled out of last season.

Correct the team on paper was ok ,but have under performed spectacularly, no heart no desire no passion or pride for the shirt , just players going through the motions and a coach who has been happy to let this happen instead of wielding the axe . Would we have been any worse without our overseas contingent ,I’d say no yet they were still put into the team week in week out ,when it was plain for all to see that they were unfit for purpose . All academic now as we are on our way down but I honestly feel if Brian Smith had been given the time and resources we would have been looking at a far more competitive team than the one that has got us relegated without so much as a whimper , the word embarrassment springs to mind watching our great club bow out of super league in such spectacular fashion (sarcasm)

You are right the team on paper did look ok , for most there was just the problem that age had overtook most of them .The team on paper would have gone well in S L, 4 year ago ,but now no speed in legs ,more chance of been injured , as turned the team in to what we are now a championship team ,And at present not a very good one

In the case I’d proctor most definitely ,time has caught up with him spectacularly, but I’d argue that it’s not the age but attitude and passion and lack of outright skill are more of a factor in our players poor performances than age ever has done

I’m sure I saw an interview with M A saying he hoped to have Bowden and Whitbread back, and hopefully Dave will be ok. Doesn’t he know he’s gone.

Willzay,love him or loath him is a Wakey fan. You seem to spend a lot of time hanging around on here, haven't you better things to do. You were OK at first but now you are just becoming an irritant.

It was plain for all to see that Proctor’s Stella NRL career had caught up with him big time ,but Atoni hasn’t even reached his peak as a forwards and Tofu or whatever he was called just couldn’t be d to put it blunt . We’ve had some dodgy overseas players but boy these have been some of the worst to put on a wakey shirt and all in one season ,you couldn’t make it up if you tried . Coupled with that a team that looked devoid of any attacking and defending structure and handling skills of school kids, it’s no wonder we are where we are .

According to an interview our coach is looking forward to his continuing association with Long at Wakefield next season. He believes this season has made him a better coach and things are improving in attack under the guidance of Long.

Think I might give next season a miss if true .Was going to pay for hospitality as well ,was looking forward to watching a lot younger team, with a coach that played attacking rugby Can not stand one more season of the dross I have seen at Wakefield this season .Worse rugby I have seen at Wakefield in all my years of watching them .Even the poor Wakefield sides had young players pride in the shirt

I decided half way through last season to give this season a miss., the grandson lost interest and I couldn't raise any enthusiasm.
What I did feel was my club had become a half baked excuse of a club run by people I could not support and put simply my club had been taken away from me.

Everybody should make their choice I guess but I'll be there.

I'll be there till I drop.

Thought the attack had improved and looked okay since Gale came in, then went to after Long joined

It's looked crap again when Lino was back in the squad. Perhaps it's coincidental but we really seem to struggle when he's the main go to pivotal player. Previously the ball was shifted quickly with Jowitt getting involved early, now its very clunky again with the team not entirely sure what Lino is going to do, run, kick or pass. Gale has become subservient and much less effective in that time too.

The squad really wasn't okay on paper. No depth at fullback which cost us badly. Having Smith, Lino and Gaskell as our choices in the halves was clearly the worst in the league. Knowing that even had Tanginoa been fit all year, we would still be relying on players such as Lynne, Ashurst and Pitts when they are so clearly past their peak. There is no hiding from that, the majority could see it from the games in pre-season.

Mash does have his fair share to answer for - looking shocking in attack the vast majority of the year being the main one. Persistence with Proctor despite making no meaningful contribution and not being able to play enough minutes another.
