Slugs, Sloth, whichever. A team filled with dross and seemingly coached to underperform.
Never seen such useless lumps in a Wakey shirt at this level.
Lineham and Taufua, pathetic.
Hood a shambles. Battye past sell by date. Ashurst looks a sad figure. Crowther way out of form, Hewitt, what’s the point, Etc etc etc
An unfit DF looked light years ahead with enthusiasm alone. Created a platform to work from which transformed into implosion. Bloody awful spectacle.

He keeps saying in interviews that the players aren't listening to him.

Is he under the impression that somehow makes him look less inept?

I'm actually a fairly decent coach, it's just that the payers don't listen to me or do any of the things I tell them to do.

That's a shocking admission.

So I'm not a coach, but what does he say on Monday to make these players better?

Hey Tom. I've hadca thought. When you are over the line. Maybe try and put the ball down without letting go?
Hey Hoodie, when you have a 4 on 3 on your left, andvthey are short a player, how about we practise passing that way instead of where we are over matched?

Max, you think it's worth running in a straight line instead of running across so you close all the space fir the players outside.

Apart from Fifita and Pitts, I'm not sure who I could say had even an average game.
Dagger I thought was OK but he needed to run more to use his skills.

He could tell some to go home or retire. Or even tell them they are crap and won’t be playing again. Maybe honesty and realism would be a start.

You like to ask questions so can you tell me in what way he has improved our performances this season that would suggest he deserves longer.

I didn't say he does deserve longer.
I said the job of a rebuild is different to a job to improve this team.

I remember when he got the job and you and vasty pants and chissitt or whatever 95 names he's under these days we're waxing lyrical, mash this mash that as though you knew him, pure sickly. You backed a bloke with no experience whatsoever basically chucked under a bus by the messiah. If something isn't working change it. Oh and if a club or team are not going forwards there's only one direction they are going. Time to stop the mc and mash grovelling and face it they don't care about our club and have now completely ruined it.

Applegarth should be sacked now as he doesn’t have the team playing for him. They look a shambles that look as though they haven’t been coached.
A complete and utter embarrassment…. icon_surprised.gifops:

I fear that he won’t be though until the end of the season when the team is relegated as the worst ever SL side and the club ownership is resolved.

Sacking him would cost the current ownership more money and that’s what it’s all about not the welfare of the club or the fans.

Danny Brough made some good points that your 9 should be looking at the defensive line and seeing where the numbers are and give the ball to where there’s a man over. If not then one of the pivots should at least be seeing it and be shouting ‘boss ball’ and if the ball doesn’t come that side then ‘strong feedback’ is given….. lack of leadership and direction ball just goes wherever Lino is….

Quote: Hopwood "I'll pay! Unfortunately I can't afford a contact for an experienced coach to replace him. I suspect that is the problem or are we waiting for a new owner and a new CEO.?. Meanwhile it's groundhog day and the damage being done to the club is becoming so bad it will take years to recover if ever.'"

You ain't a clue about coaching cock first of all you need players capable and this lot if you know about rugby players at different levels we ain't got em thiko

I can tell you right now that is not true.
If you care to go back I was very much a supporter of Poching, and my first post was that it was a ridiculous appointment.

I have warmed to him when hearing him speak but ultimately he's judged on results and the team have let him down.

However I don't agree that they don't care about the club. They clearly do.

As with most things in life, you get what you pay for.

Mark was the cheap option to replace the previous cheap option in Willie. The club have not invested in a support team to help him, either.

Some of us have been saying that the stumbling block is Carter, he's been in charge of recruitment and what a mess it's been. Constant inactivity in player recruitment means all coaches are left behind the black ball.
Ultimately you get what you pay for but with the present owners total lack of marketing and movi3 the club forward funds have been set low.
Please remember after Carter's first 2 years stability he's had 8 years to develop the club and formulate a medium to long term plan.
The blokes missed a golden opportunity to make Wakefield compedative and bring the Wakefield public along with him.its a crying shame what he's done to the Trin

He said afterwards that he isn't worried about breaking the mic and believes he's the best man to help fix it.

I read some say who will want the job but the thing is when he was appointed no one was given a chance to apply. I am sure that despite the squad we could at least ask the question. The thing is do they want to ask it or are they happy for the pathetic performances to continue. If they actually cared about the club and supporters it’s a simple answer.
I have not hidden my views on MC and accountants running a business especially one that is sports based. He is clearly good at being an accountant but has forgotten what you need, to be a successful rugby club. This is definitely more obvious this season when all the actions taken are clearly to save money regardless of the obvious outcome. He will then disappear into the sunset leaving the supporters to follow what remains. I don’t know why he does not go now he can discuss his take from the takeover without being involved.

You've asked that before and it was answered as you know.
