I'm fInding it very hard to even think about the club at the minute. So sad that this is being allowed to happen.

Expected a lot more from you, tbh the score line flatters you a bit. The breaks we made with better backup play we would have had 40 pts. Powell needs to go.

Powell said: "It's not ideal, is it? It's not where we want to be or where we set out to be at the start of the year.

"We play Widnes next week so it becomes a massive game. We need to win. They will come with confidence now, having won that game. We've got to look forward and start playing better."

The Broncos' disappointing performances in the first half of the season prompted a review by chairman David Hughes, whose cash input enabled the club to spend up to the salary cap this year, and there is no sign of any improvement.

"They're a good group and they train hard," added Powell. "If we played like we trained we'd be great but it doesn't work like that.

"We go onto the field and we start doing things we haven't been doing in training. It's something we've got to address. We have to stick to what we've been doing really well in the week.

"I thought when we kicked the ball straight from the scrum on play one, the first time we'd had the ball, down their end it changed the momentum of the game.

"It gave Wakefield too much of a leg up for the first 20 minutes. I think moments like that define periods of games and I think it happened today."

Powell was forced to make a late change when forward Ben Bolger pulled out through illness and the Broncos lost stand-off Michael Witt with a shoulder injury and second rower Chris Melling with a neck problem before the end of the game.

F**k O** you useless get

Round 10-11-12-13 you said-LLLL
It's my team- Bottom of the league
Spend to the SC
We can still make the play offs
Challenge cup run- hmm

Now its about not being bottom

Sod off you idiot

P*s off

cheer up tre....you can always slag off my posts

even if we beat widnes next week nothing hides the fact we are a laughing stock of super league.

we are a guaranteed 2 points week in week out for other teams. we not even losing narrowly...

i have gone beyond demoralised, reckon they should be advertising samaritans on our threads....



oh well, onwards and downwards

Powell is e - sack him and pay him off and get in someone whp knows what they are doing. If this was Union I'd do it!

It's got so bad even the flatcappers can't be assed to take the mickey out of us.

Cannot believe how poor you were. Embarassing at times today!

It will be interesting to see what is said by those who went from London

Paddock has posted his thoughts on facebook...darth chris had train tickets and didn't bother.....sums it up really...the Championship beckons

In the past couple of years I have been to the Wildcats but choose to stay at home. Very depressing at the moment with many saying the team is not interested. The only ones whom see to see no wrong is the club management.

But whats gone wrong we were going to hit our straps by round 11 ?
Can it get anymore embarassing than this ?
Oh yes we have Widnes at home saturday,
Unless of course we have the result of the mid season review and who knows
just how far we will improve after that,

What an utter shambles.

Nobody in their right mind would have apppointed a 30 year old with no professional playing experience nor any experience coaching open-age professional players.

He has no redeeming features such as being inspirational, spotting good players etc.

It wasn't a gamble as gambles can pay off.

You might as well bet on the end of the world as Powell.

I don't necessarily agree with that. A young coach with knowledge and charisma could do well with or without top flight playing experience. However Powell seems to be coming up v short, especially with the latter.

How much more proof do they need to put him and us out of our misery. Sack him, pay him off and dont let him within 10 miles of the place. If the club is serious about the review they shouldnt even consider rewarding failure by finding him a job within the coaches, get shot.

I am just completely fed up now! but trying to think positive we are truly at Rock Bottom and there is only one way we can go and that is UP! all it needs if the conviction to take the action which should have been done weeks ago and we just may not have been right at the bottom of Super League.

The only time we will move up the table is in the off season when the table is in alphabetical order!

I've stopped going to away games. I didn't go to the OTR games, lose to Widnes and Gus will be handed my season tickets-This is utter tripe

There must be some sort of protest we can form at next week's game?

a boycott.........then again, nobody would notice as it will be another sub 3k crowd

Sub 2k crowd! That will be the protest....surely no need for juvenile antics of throwing towels.

I will be there as usual but can't say I'm looking forward to it now.

Powell has no charisma what so ever. You see him on the big screen picking his nose, not looking intersested at all. He may be like that all the time - how are our players supposed to be motavated with him. You see other coaches with so much passion when their team scores especially Tony Smith and Mike Rus.

No, that's a red herring. Wayne Bennett is the best or one of the best coaches in the world and he comes across as having had a charisma bypass.

I used the game as a stop off on my journey back south. Two hours at Woolley Edge Services would have been more exciting.

It’s not only us that appear to be a farce. The Digivan with the Scoreboard only arrived 20 minutes into the first half and then drove directly in front of the sponsors stand before reversing back and setting up in the corner. It eventually flickered into life.

And as a passing comment what on earth do billboards around the city with models on chairs have to do with scrap metal recycling?

The ground I don’t think I have been to since about 1986. Hopefully they will get good news on their planning application as only a complete rebuild of Belle Vue would sort out some of its problems. The sponsors stand was full which can only be good for the health of their club. It is an old traditional ground which has some charm but the terracing has a very low rake and is in very poor condition being uneven and crumbling. I stood on the end terrace which now has a steel roof and large posts that block out parts of the ground, not enough to avoid witnessing our performance though. And it was leaking slightly. £20 entrance, you just don’t realise how good value the Stoop is.

The Wakey fans were in good heart though whether the song about borrowing your Dad’s gun to shoot the Cas scum meets with a family friendly atmosphere is another matter.

The programme was a double header so Hull will get the same programme. Words of wisdom that Powell guided us to 12th place last year.

And the game. Well after six penalties in the first 10 minutes we were 6 points down. Their first try came off of 3 penalties two of which were on our line. The second try was worked to their right and I think O’Callaghan missed a one on one, though they had loaded that side. It only took six tackles to go the length of the field. Their third was Ali lumbering through most of our team. Dixon received a lovely head shot that even the Wakey fans thought left nothing to doubt. Didn’t appear to be put on report, not that we were then inspired to do anything.

I can’t believe that Powell blames the scrum and kick chase as the problem that put us under pressure. It was one of the few bits of variety we have produced all season. Throughout the game we were one man rugby. There is not any support or alternatives. We were dumped on our backsides a lot with them having two or three in strong tackles. We might have the same numbers but it never looks that effective. Towards the end of the first half we had a scrum in their twenty and there was no hurry at all. In contrast Wakey still looked like they had urgency to get on with the game when at 18- 0 they could have slowed it down a bit. Plus they appear, well everyone appears to do everything quicker than we do, particularly around the ruck.

No disrespect to Wakey but they were not that good. They didn’t have to be. We offered no real threat. It is five drives and kick to the corner. Lacking in ideas and variety, lacking in runners and options. It is easy meat for a defence. In contrast Wakey had runners and options which confused our team no end. They had a good few breaks but were unable to make a great deal with them. Perhaps the conditions slowed them down, could have been far worse if it had been dry. We had more urgency in the second half but all a bit late really. Robertson managed to get sin binned for trying to delay the ball. Dixon tried a quick tap and made good metres as they ambled back without looking but that gap was snuffed out. Wheeldon scored under the posts when we did have a bit of pressure but nowt else really created. Think we had two tries disallowed, one in the first half as it came forward off one of our players when the kick caused confusion which was correct and one that was probably for crossing but that was at the far end and I’d taken to watching the rain drip in through the roof to keep me occupied when we had the ball. I think we only had eight interchanges as that is the last one I recall and Caro didn’t come on.
So bottom of the table does not surprise me and I await the words of wisdom from the Coach for the next game.

That's a real good piece of writing, Southern Reiver, take a bow.

I particularly liked - '...but that was at the far end and I’d taken to watching the rain drip in through the roof to keep me occupied when we had the ball.'

Well done.
