| Quote: Isaiah "But you also just said ... "We have too much quality to lose this surely?"
So was you meaning the quality of the coaching staff?'"
You misunderstood.
We have too much quality in the players we have that they should win just by being much better quality players almost to a man even with poor coaching or without a coach at all.
That's my summation on the quality gap between the players of our team and Wakefield's.
I posed the questoon that no matter what might be happening behind the scenes here (and indeed wakey) we should come out on top. The way I worded the question introduces an element of doubt (in my mind) even with that vast differential in quality but still feel we should win comfortably.
What do you think?

| I agree that on paper we look better than Wakey. But on paper and on the pitch are two different things and there's other factors to throw into the mix. We don't know what our response is going to be to the defeat and players meeting last week. It needs to be positive but that is by no means a guarantee. And then there's Wakey themselves. A new coach can often provide a boost for a club. Particularly in the first game when everyone is out to impress.
Whilst I have confidence we can get a win I don't think it's a sure thing.

| I would rather face a team coached by Chester and Brian Smith that's for sure.
If we lose I would sack Radford, as the team on the pitch is so far apart in terms of quality that a loss is just unacceptable and there is something wrong behind the scenes.
How many of Wakey expected side would get into Hull's 17? Maybe Simon?

You can be a pedant sometimes, Kosh, something to do with being a mod (not the Lambretta type) I meant, as you well know, leave of his own volition. Something Smithy does regularly

When we played them we played some of the worst rugby I've ever seen us play (trust me it was that bad) and we still only lost because we didn't kick the goals. They were truly awful and you'll win on size alone. If you do lose then you'd have to ask if its a conscious decision to get rid of the coach.

Sounds similar to when Allam wanted the KC.
Allam "Can I have the KC and West Park for free please?"
Council "no mate"

Kosh and sarcasm? Now that's new

Not me. We need a win to get 'back on the horse' and get some confidence back. Then we can work on stepping that up to the better sides.

I'm with Kosh on this one. A good win tomorrow, followed by a win at Caravan Park will give the boys confidence for the game against Wire. Hopefully by then we'll be back to the form we showed at the start of the season.
