so in a strange turn of events im currently in the middle of a conversation with Tex Hoys dad on Instagram direct messaging, hes saying some very very harsh things

Hope you find that attention you are seeking.

Some are saying it's the same players but different coaches. This is not totally the case as the majority of the squad assembled are his signings limited budget or not. If, however Clark had the finally say in the decisions I'll absolve Smith of some of the blame and conclude that we are even more amateurish that I first thought.

sorry what???? I'm simply saying who im speaking to and given recent posts etc thought it was quite on trend so to speak... i can screenshot etc but there are some offensive words used about TS and his treatment of Tex, i have disagreed with him as i genuinely don't believe TS would have the rep he does if he treat players poorly, i think its more likely to be some home truths they don't wanna hear about how the apply themselves on/off the field etc... Connor Wynne for example?? They dont like it so are throwing strops

Lastly what attention am i seeking by trying to get everyone some further insight into a players dads comment's?

I’d suggest messaging players dads and then posting it on here shows you are looking for some attention. Otherwise you’d have just done it in private and kept it to yourself

Bollox.
Get it banged on here and let's have a gander.

Is Milky121086 Tony Smith? Asking for a friend

Gotta laugh or we'll all cry things are that bad.

I thought he was referring to Cookie.

Eh??? A club legend? Who was treated awfully by us?

Our resident Rovers nuisance

When you look at where the criticism is coming from, It’s from those, or those connected with them, where the attitude was questionable anyway.
That’s why Wynne can’t get a game in Fevs team. Why Griffin can tell Hodgson to eff off but Smith soon got rid, etc, etc.
I remember when we signed Hoy reading that his connections to the Johns family, and the “fame” of his Father meant it was inevitable Newcastle would sign him, even though there were better players about.
Maybe it’s his first time in an environment where he’s accountable and not entitled?

I would venture that in terms of preparation, attitude, commitment and match performance we are arguably, right now, a worse team than Wakefield last year. Although they had severe shortcomings in terms of squad quality and available recruitment level, Wakefield 2023 at least tended to show a level of fight and commitment allied to a workable game plan which attempted to make the best out of a very bad underfunded hand their coach had been dealt with. I would say it is very difficult to make that same claim for us in 2024.

What I am finding hard to comprehend however is that it is less than nine months since we beat Warrington (then still league leaders) and Saints (34-6 no less!) whilst losing narrowly to Catalans and Wigan (to a golden point) in two hard fought games. As late as last August (the Wigan game) I still harboured thoughts of possibly sneaking a play-off spot. At the very least I felt there were foundations on which to build upon for this year.

I know we have lost two or three decent players who subsequently have not been adequately replaced, but the rate at which we have been going backwards since last August has been nothing short of insane. We've gone from being a semi-decent (if not exactly spectacular) side, with some promise in there of better times to come, to being the most dis-organized rabble that any of us have ever witnessed wearing the black & white. Even the most wildly optimistic supporter (if indeed there is anyone left who fits that description!) cannot see where the next win will come from, even London away is holding trepidation for most of us.

I'm sure we've all heard the saying 'sometimes you have to go backwards in order to ultimately go forwards' but the club, and Smith specifically, is taking that maxim to almost unheard and obscene depths. None of us was expecting too much from this season but surely none of us equally could have even remotely imagined the sheer scale of ineptitude which is currently being trotted out on a weekly basis. I would surmise that Wakefield supporters last year acknowledged that their side were trying their best against at times insurmountable odds and as such at least felt some pride in what their team was trying to achieve.

When was the last time we felt any pride in our club? Far too long ago for most of our tastes I am sorry to say.

HALLELUJAH!! A fan who sees sense!! This is what im saying, isn't it a bit odd that the players who have had poor attitude seemingly on and off the pitch are getting sacked, let go etc by the club? This club is rotten and has deep rooted attitude problems that stem back to the end of the Radford era, Reynolds, Gale, Wynne, Evans, Griffin etc etc and now Hoy, i strongly believe they are getting told things they don't like hearing and wont buy into the way the club are trying to change things, and if that's the case this is the time we should all be getting behind the coaching staff and backing them getting rid of players who are stealing wages playing for our great club
