WE ARE WAKEFIELD, WITHOUT THE RICHARDSONS’ WE ARE STRONGER:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42850.jpg



Quote: Fordy "Unless I'm very much mistaken the season ticket prices are less than last year not more, but don't let that get in the way of your character assassinations. Admittedly for some, the lack of a payment plan may be an issue but without knowing how many issues the cub had with people on payment plans last year then it's hard to say whether that is the right decision or not.'"


MC stated on twitter that the Limited company that runs the club could not get a consumer credit licence hence no payment plan.

Quote: chissitt "I would suggest that the increase in prices will have a lot to do with new contracts for the players coming in and other increases, I do agree though that the club could have put in place an instalment plan, but there must be a reason for this so why make a big deal of it if you don't know the full circumstances.'"

There you go scarlet, a sad yet simple answer, shame it does not fit in with your greater plans to ridicule and sully his name at every opportunity.

Don't know what your problem is this timeScarlett. Last year I agreed with all your points - for example I wasn't happy with the risk MC took with BOI but it paid off and quite rightly I ate some humble pie. With regards to recruitment wait for the lineup for round 1 before having ago.

I will try again to post but a word of warning don't use an I-pad because when you are in full flow it cut outs.
I have concerns which I think deep down many do but I hope that the lessens of last season turn out to be a positive. I am sure that no one at the club will want to go through that again with all the problems it brings. I accept that we will probably be in the bottom 4 again but the important thing is that the team play to 100% every game and we at least show we are not the easy beats we were perceived to be this season.
I know the squad will not have the big names like many others but wasn't that always the way with Wakefield. The difference was we had spirit which would not let us lose by 40 points every game and I hope B Smith can reinstate that in the current squad.
We will never be a Leeds or Wigan but being Wakefield supporters we don't expect us to be, so even the smallest victory means a lot to us. We are not arrogant enough to believe we will we can hope but just being competitive and not giving up after half the season is all we demand.
I expect in Brian Smith we will have a coach who can bring the work ethos back and would never admit in private or public that the season is over, not the best selling point for supporters.
I believe the squad needs a couple of flair players and another centre but at least we have tried to boost the speed of our back line. It is not good when a winger intercepts a pass and he is caught within 20 yards.
I will not be buying a season ticket not for any other reason than I miss too many games to make it economical for me. I will not be buying a shirt, however it looks because my physique and the Macron sizing are a complete mis match.
I will give MC credit for knowing that the Algarve is the finest holiday destination. We may not agree on the golf courses, I prefer those at Quinta over Villamoura but I suppose that is down to personal preference must like the squad we put together.

All most Wakey fans want is pride and effort shown by the players, that's the problem with last season.
I have no idea what went on at the club but the whole place was a depressing place to be, with just one problem after another. God knows what Brian Smith thought when he walked through the doors . It seemed that all respect from many of the players had evaporated and going through the motions was a culture .
NEXT SEASON will start with a squad of players who will provide effort and improve. Its still interesting how some of the squad still haven't played for B Smith and others have only played a couple of games. The whole culture of the club will change and only players that buy in to the process will stay.
Wakey fans in my view are up for a season to remember for all the right reasons, and will clearly see a club at long last on the up.
I would not be surprised if we manage the top 8 and im absolutely sure that will be the target .

Well put, Lampboy

Top 8, after being tailed off in the wooden spoon position would be a massive turn around and may well be beyond us.
But, if we are competitive in every game and the squad play as a team (which they did under Smiths charge last season, apart from the Sheffield game), then, who knows.
We till have some more players to come in and who knows where we will finish.
You can easily predict who the top 6 clubs will be but, the other 6 can finish in pretty much any order in the lower half of the league.
Both Hull clubs, ourselves, Salford, Widnes and Catalan will very likely fill 7-12 in the table and depending on form and injuries, we could scrape into he top 8 but, next season is about getting some stability and competing.

" I CAN ACCEPT FAILURE, BUT I WON'T ACCEPT NOT TRYING " - Michael Jordan:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42633.jpg



Targeting the top 8 is just a ridiculous goal.

Staying out of that bloody MPG will do me for next season!!

Anthony England, Sean Morris, Liam Finn, Ashley Gibson, Ben Shulver

They are all decent signings. The best thing about it for me is that we have managed to get rid of 3/4 high earning Aussies in Kevin Locke, Tim Smith, Dean Collis & Ali Lauitiiti - & replaced them with British players that are here to prove a point.

In my opinion it's all about being competitive more than getting in the top 8, if we can be competitive as Hull KR were last season then beating the Championship clubs shouldn't be out of our reach. Although I'd much rather not be in that position.

With the squad so far assembled will we win more than the 3 games we won last year - we will get wooden spoon that's locked in

Leigh have a much better squad than our on paper already - I know only on paper but they will be beating us in the super 8's

at least they are trying to get better!! we re just doing the same thing year after year !!!

Quote: Big lads mate "It's a shame for them Les it just shows what the pundits know. it will be interesting to see what they think for Super League 2016. i think it will be a lot tighter competition and may throw up one or two surprise's. 2 of last seasons top 8 finishers may be battling it out in the mid eights at the end of the season.
