I thought our 2013 squad was average really and we punched by getting to the final

Still think gentle was a good coach and think we'd have done good things with him

Although obviously radders delivered amazing things aswell

Peter Sharp and gentle were both sacked to early imo and sharp esp brilliant coaches

Looking back Sharp's sacking was madness and even at the time seemed premature. Everyone you speak to rated him as a coach. The Cooke fiasco tore the team and club apart leaving Sharp to deal with the fall out. Hetherington then appointed her adopted son Agar which set us back years.

Gentle was sacked after the Huddersfield play-off humiliation after the players downed tools and refused to play for him. Like you say Gentle was a good coach but something had to give and it's easier to replace the coach then most of the team.

The reverse has happened with Smith so we need to be patient and give him time to sort the mess out and build for the future.

He is playing in the championship, if he was good enough for SL, he be playing there.

Didn't you recently critise Bowden for being in the championship, so not good enough for SL, is this different from Ashurst.

His arguments fall apart like a one legged man in an AR se kicking compitition

So have a few other clubs and have the clout and prestige to outbid you for players.

The only thing Talentboy got right is that Sharp was sacked too soon.

Think a few super league teams will be in for Ashurst

Not confident bowden will play super league again as he's just a run of the mill prop really

Ashurst 37 tries in 200 Wakefield games which for a out and out 2nd row is pretty impressive numbers

Why haven't they signed him then, you are talking nonsense, Ashurst was an average SL player is 34 years old, no SL club (maybe except London) would sign him.

Bowden has played at the top level of SL, played and won in cup finals

You obsession in trys by forwards is also weird.

In was In the squad that's if

He played a very minimal part

Our props who carried us were taylor and Watts

You need your 2nd rows to offer strike in attack Ashurst does that with that try record ....what's weird about that

More weird some of our fans defend players with stats like these

6 trys and 52

And 1 try in 51

And both who offer very little for a super league club

Danny washbrook played alot of games of the bench aswell

Neither him or bowden were the reason we won in 2016/17

Luckily we had alot of other great players who did the business for us

You saying if bowden didn't play in 2016/2017 we couldn't of won a trophy.......?
