| Our only tactic is 'chuck it to Ali'. To be fair to him he did his best but we need to give the guy a hand.
Oh and so much for the catering 'improvement'. No pies, disgusting chips and undercooked burgers. Don't think i'll be bothering again.

| Can't believe I wasted £205 on this yesterday. How Agar is still in a job baffles me different personnel same garbage. Uncoached, zero structure rugby league. Bradford stick to a basic game plan and run out comfortable winners, how hard Agar? Chuck it to Ali and hope for the best. The ht kids games have the same plan chuck it to the big lad. Laughable. Why is Liam Kay at Leigh when the utterly pathetic Lynne is given countless chances yet proves nothing? When I think back to the days of John Harbin and Kear who had no cash but would have dreamed of the resources Agar has had and worked miracles makes it even more galling.

| Nearly all of them need to learn how to catch a ball, back up the man with the ball who makes a break and start using their brains a bit more. We're never gonna win any game in this league if we keep coughing it up. Bradford are no great shakes but they didn't have to be, we gave them 2 tries on a plate through our own errors and we were so knackered for having to tackle for so many sets we couldn't get a foothold in the game. I was so looking forward to tonight after Sunday's second half display but I just feel deflated and disappointed because we really should have won that game tonight. 2 games in no points, at least we have time to work on things now before Wigan away a week on Sunday.

| Some fans need to wake up.
- Agar isn't catching the balls
- Agar isnt giving away stupid penalties
- Lyne played well just another 'scapegoat'
Agar's worst decision was putting Walshaw at Prop Forward and then taking him off, that's something I agree that is a outrageous decision.

| Richard Moore runs it in as hard as anybody we've got yet can't get a game.yes he makes errors but he's 100% committed game after game.

| Mr Hicks put them ten points up, and that was all she wrote; an awful spectacle and not a performance that bore any resemblance to the second half fight back at Salford.
The decision to chop and change to squeeze Sammut in was a poor one; if he had to play tonight, I'd have put him at fb and let Mathers have a sit down.
I don't like to sign up to conspiracy theories, but that's two games in a row where we've got absolutely nowt from the official in the first half; if you were a cynic, you'd almost believe that our card was marked in relegation year.

Wasn't really a rant was it? More of a question.

I think a lot of teams are going to figure out your ball down the left flank attacking play sooner rather than later, you really overloaded your forwards down that side v Salford and you did it tonight v the Bulls it might of worked if you give yourselves a chance in the game without the penalties.
But teams are going to wise up to this and place their best defensive players to man mark players like Ali and Ryan, Agar has got his work cut out.

Thanks Christ I am not a Wakey fan. You are an embarrassment.

| I dunno if this has been mentioned - but the tactics RA enforced last night were absolutely abysmal.
Don't forget their half back went off in the first ten minutes and played with just Luke Gale who is bang average.
WHY in the name of god did Sammut start on the bench!? What a debut, having Sykes at 6, then swapping your half back pairing around half time to then move Sykes to centre!?
Pita Godinet tried is hardest, god bless him, but I could've wept for him, having to play with two different partners.
I cannot remember once where him and Sammut linked up. Either play him or don't.
And I sincerely hope McShane improves for you, his distribution from dummy half was painfully slow. Whenever he assed it was tentative and sloppy, whenever he scooted he got five yards then passed - he looked totally indecisive and seemed to have n confidence in his decision making (quite the opposite of last week)
Collis isn't fit - dunno who watched on sky but he was out on his ass after 25 minutes
Well played to Ali though - he did everything he could to make some spark, was a pleasure to watch when he got the ball.

| I thought that Lynn had a good game bar the one drop which lets face it he wasn't the only one to drop the ball. I thought he ran it in well and his defence was good, I just think that he needs the confidence to back himself more.
I thought that Anderson and Smith had good games at prop and Fox also had a good game taking his try well and defending well.
Our defence was good througout, they didn't really break our line and there trys came from our individual errors.
If we can keep the defence like it has been in the past 2 games for the rest of the season we will be ok.
Our attack looked like what it was, a group of players who had hardly played together before, but in time and with plenty of work on the training pitch we have the talent in the side to cause teams problems.

I agree; and given that you're a Cas fan, I would have thought you'd be immune to embarrassment by now?
I'm comfortable with my view that we've been reffed out of the first 20 mins of both games we've played so far this season; from the first 10 minutes alone last night, Washbrook penalised for a not high high tackle, Smith penalised for a perfectly legal ball steal and Purtell awarded a try that was never grounded.

How long though, my fellow altoftian?? How many winnable games will have passed before they start causing problems? And how many games will they cause problems before they string wins together?
Don't forget that Bradford team are in the same boat with players in/out.
Everyone knows wakefield can play better than that, but it'll be about winning ugly this year against teams like Bradford/Cas/Widnes etc
