| I would partly apologise to Yaha. With the resume I can see that for the 1st 2 tries on their right-and indeed for Johnstone's 3 knock-ons we did not have the numbers . This in itself raises questions.
Duport chased one of their breakouts for 70 metres and collapsed in an exhausted heap. He is not fit.He is not able to perform any of the range of roles needed by a centre except that of making a few metres and thereby destroying the impetus of the attack.It is quite clear when one is at the match that the half backs have no confidence in him.It is not just that he is hopeless he is also a positive liability at centre.If anyone can prove I am wrong about this I would be interested to hear .All the French fans around me on Saturday think that he is useless.Of course when williame is fit we can get rid of Duport.That will not cure the many other problems that we have ,but it will massively improve our three quarters play.
I have spoken to a number of English neutrals about my report. In general they think that A,that Walsh was not as good as I thought B that I was unfair to YahaC that Anderson was very bad-they had not realised that he was injured and D that in general we cannot cope with attacks that move the ball quickly.They think that an English club would have sacked our coach long ago.I will add that Wakefield will finish around 8th this year. Where does that leave us?Our so -called giant pack is powder puff and paradoxically we have a very strong spine and a very weak rib cage.

| I'd say points 2 and 4 would go a long way to resolving point 3.

| I aint as doom and gloom as some.
We have 2/5ths of our spine on the sideline (gigot, bird) with bird being the best forward in the comp. Its a long season. Just need to pick up a couple of wins soon to keep in touch with top 4. All it needs is a couple of wins and youre back up there with the nature of the league and how close lots of teams are.

| By spine I mean full back-Bosc or Wiliam-Gigot is better than neither- Half backs and Hooker -Aiton is playing well. Bird is good ,but he cannot do miracles.
Leigh are currently missing 8 of their 17 to injury and one to suspension.We have won4 of our last 22 matches-or something very close to that. Some of our players -as the coach correctly says-are not good enough.

| Gigot is 100% better than Williame and Bosc at full back.
With how influential Bird is, I would count him in the spine.
