Well praise be to Allah, that that is over!
At least we weren't nilled!
As others have pointed out our new French signing looks pretty decent, certainly better than his future team mates.
Lyne took his try well.
That's about it on the positives!
Much work to do before St's away!

If you mean least game time that's an agar issue. Websters had him in. Contributes lots when he plays

Awful performance, zero positives to take out of that. Season now over, time to plan for next year.

If he couldn't force his way into a misfiring Wakefield team with even Walshaw having time in the front row then that's an Andy Raleigh issue I'm afraid!

I don't dislike him, he's got some quality and I'm not assassinating him as a player but he's not as good as Anderson which was my original point. If you wanted to show some love for him then you've done that!
Who would you have dropped for Anderson

Is he retiring at the end of the season?

I'd have liked to have seen Anderson on the bench at least and with hindsight play Ryan in the centres instead of Keinhorst making a bench spot available. Tautai could have done to have been at 13 from the start as he was when we played them at home and won.

Raleigh gave it his all today and was one of our better forwards IMHO. On the plus the second half we only lost 12:6 and that was after Ryan fluffing a certain try (although Catalan probably took their foot off the gas).

Summed up when it said afterwards that Catalan spend the full salary cap and have 13 first choice players out today. WTW spend nowhere near the cap do they and that 17 not far off our first choice?

Simon looks like he will be a good buy for Trinity next season.

If there are reasons a coach isn't picking you that are beyond your control it isn't his issue. As I said. Webster is playing him. Anderson hasn't been dropped.

Yeah well beaten today but Les Cats are always a tough test in France. Just as long as Webster can ensure this blip doesn't become a setback, then I'm not worried.

And you know for a fact that Agar wasn't picking Raleigh for something other than ability.

I know Anderson wasn't dropped, he's been injured but the original point was about how much impact Anderson would have had on today's performance.

So who would you have left out in favour of Anderson

Well, at least the players had a nice mini-break as reward for their efforts over the previous five matches .

Also, this will hopefully put to bed the highly optimistic notion that we’ll scrape into the eight .

Yes on the first point.

Anderson isn't injured.

I'd have dropped Washbrook and had Tautai at loose.

Go on then?

He was

Wouldn't disagree

I agree the season is over now which is good as we thought we would be battling relegation.so why not play people who could still be here next season would it not be better to play the likes of crowther anikin shulver jowitt Johnston instead of gilmour etc
