Reasonable performance for this time in the season though I did feel our unforced errors did keep Wakefield in the game for far too long.

Nice to see Wakefield brought a few.........must have been due to the Wigan result!

They obviously enjoyed the goal kicking...........though the cheer for the 2nd was a rather amusing delayed reaction.......I guess they can't help being a bit slow



Anyone got any injury news as we seemed a little banged up?

Awww - missing us already!

At the end of the day the simple facts are that you lot don't like people questioning your incorrect assumptions that Wakey are badly done to and never get the rub of the green on refereeing decisions. Evidence points to the contrary on this matter but it still doesn't stop you creating embarrassing petitions to have referees struck off.

Should anyone dare to question these insane thoughts then a ban is the order of the day. Likewise should anyone dare to disagree on anything pro Wakefield or agree with anything anti Wakefield. You have some decent fans but you have some real vile ones too where it seems anything goes.

For example, in response to DoubleAone putting a perfectly valid argument together he was met with this.



The troll Barry Clegg regularly posts offensive material yet this offensive material is left on there.

The reasoning is simple, it's because you don't see anything wrong with calling someone a dick head or a c*** but a wrong word against Trin and woe betide you.

It's a lack of brains on the part of the mods to be honest but we should help them not deride them.

If I was really so bothered about posting on the Wakefiled board I'd circumvent the ban, no problem. I know you're wrong and you know you're wrong but keep flexing your cybermuscles anyway.

he dropped the bomb but took a great catch on the half volley from a kick

Glad to see Gibson playing well again for what time he had on the pitch.
Hopefully Kallum is ok though and the injury wasnt that bad.

What has been overlooked re Allen's contribution was his one on one steal from Blaymire(?) in the opening minute that led to Ali's opening try.
I thought his tackling generally was an improvement on previous performance but he does lack pace. Pity about the break with a little more composure he should have taken the 1st tackle or looked to come inside or arguably even better have passed to Scott Donald. But what I couldn't see was if the Wakefield player had got in a position to prevent that.
If so then he should have taken the tackle. It would have been tackle one, who knows what the next sets would have led to? But we're all great with hindsight.

I thought Ganson was appauling for both teams 17 pens in 20 minutes was shocking and not justified. The game struggled to recover from his appauling 20minute display. If we had 2 players back i.e. a brough or a scully we probably would have won. I really didnt think you guys deserved to win last night your 2 out of 3 trys came from terrible errors by us. Draw was a fair result

Not overlooked entirely...

just though the crucial element was different.



A much better all round performance than the friendly fixture and given this was within a disrupted team it is better then first appears really.

If this continues and with the Eastwood development then the lad may well have the opporunities..... a can see some real potential developing...but just not in the backs.

You've convinced me. The point is in the post.

I deserve 2 points for the Ganson comment

. Even the hardened of Rhino fan must say the game struggled to recover from that padantic t*at in orange .

I am constantly surprised that our opponents fans seem to think that a free flowing, penalty light game will suit their team more than Leeds? Even with pedantic reffing and stop-start games we still manage to score a good 300-400 points more than everyone bar Stains. Imagine what we could rattle up without a Ganson on the pitch?

You seemed to have miss read me there. Im not saying it may have favoured us. Im saying it would have certainly favoured the 15000 people that were watching that game because the ref killed it as a spectacle in that first 20minutes of sheer sh*te refing.

He didnt spoil it for me last night,,,although when he starts "inventing" rules I do get a bit frustrated.

I think for the first 20 minutes he forgot it wasnt on Sky and that the audience love to watch HIM.

Suppose, lets face it Smithy wasn't band for the final after booting someone in the face (I forget who). But **Calderspud** was banned for two games recently for tripping and they may want to make an example out of Bailey.

edit!

Not Calderspud, was Mathers......whoops!

assuming he is found guilty first

Phil Bailey and he deserved the accidental contact.

I agree, if only for that crime against humanity that he committed in the 1980's with Phil Collins, they both should have been locked up for a very long time.

Why?

When you hold down and mess around in the tackle (instead of rolling away as the law dictates) you're liable to get caught up with the player attempting to regain his feet to play the ball.

So he deserved a kick in the face (potentially causing facial injuries) because he held a player down for longer than he should? You're pathetic.

& That's usually caused because the players have got fed up with the ref not taking action so they take the law into their own hands.

That is quite clearly not what he is suggesting. The point is that when there is two players in close proximity like during a tackle the potential for accidental contact is significantly increased.

The contact was accidental as a result of Smith trying to get to his feet. Not deliberate in any way and no intent to cause any injury to Bailey. Smith doesn't look behind him and does not know position of Bailey's head when trying to get to feet.



Without Bailey and Collins Easy Lover we may never have had Fur Q's Uzi Lover though.

Agreed Smith doesn't look bahind him, but i dont need to look behind me to know someone has hold of my legs........I dont think Smith intended to connect with his face but he did kick out. I dont know about you but my feet go on the floor and push up to re-gain my feet. Not in the air.

Is it just me or does Bailey look a lot leaner than he did last year? Looks to have lost his bulk a bit.
