We’ve nothing to lose Luppylad putting that team out ,we need a big shake up ,only one I’d swap is Hood for Bowes ,the lad seems much faster at the play the ball and to counter the threat from Dwyer who will have a field day if we don’t step up the intensity in our defence . But what have we to lose ,I’d rather see us go down fighting with lads that want to play for us than a bunch of half hearted blokes that look like they have no desire to put the effort in for the fans or the shirt .

Why not, let's face it we're hardly breaking up a winning team.

It's right what they say players play better on paper Minnus in for MJ is a belter I ham right in thinking that in a reserve game Gaskell set up 5 trys ,so why does he look so bad in the first team .One answer as been the first team do not no how to read him .So the reserve must then

Jowitt
Johnstone
Hall
Lyne (very tempted to put Minns in)
Murphy
Miller
Lino
Fifita
Hood
Arona
Tanginoa
Batchelor
Whitbread

Battye
Kay
Walker (to interchange at 13).
Butler

Just watched the Salford v Leeds highlights , no rockets science from Salford just players running into gaps at pace ,offloads and second faze looking relatively simple when you watch the moves develop ,but it’s pretty alien to us for some reason .Leeds looked like rabbits in the headlights trying to stem the breaches , it’s certainly going to be entertaining for possibly all the wrong reasons when we clash on Fri . Leeds are certainly low on confidence but unfortunately so are we ,and all will depend on who has their heads in the right place and wants it more to take the spoils. It’s definitely a battle of the basement clubs and we’ll never get a better chance ,but I’ve heard that somewhere before .

If making sweeping changes was the correct way to go:

Max (Despite my criticism, he’s 100% committed)
Murphy
Croft
Hall
TJ (if he’s still a WT player
Walker
Lino
Fifita
Bowes
Butler (should be eager to stand out)
Batchelor
Tanginoa
Arona

Kay
Shaw/Eseh
Aydin
Whitbread

Just as it was when we gave them their first win of the season!!
Let's hope this time around we can show some guts and desire!!!!

Seriously suggesting dropping Jowitt one of the best and most committed players in a very poor squad
Sorry but no I would probably make him captain and this may help Miller.
Definitely a case for dropping Lyne who has done nothing in months.
Please play props at 8-10 and put Tanginoa 2nd row and Arona at loose

Think I’d rather see Whitbread at loose but I’d definitely be down for some changes in the team.
Tanginoa and Batch in second row.
Whitbread at 13.
There are options and we can’t keep going with the same forwards without shaking things up.

We all have our preferred starting 13 and subs ,and the truth is anyone of those combinations may work better than what we have at the moment . Some of our players for whatever reason aren’t committed enough to the cause , and they need to step aside until such time as their mojo comes back.Poaching could do with ringing the changes for this Fridays clash and see how things pan out , you never know we may get 17 players busting a gut and working as a team .

If Reece Lyne is surplus to requirements could we have him please.

Jowitt is constantly at fault for trys ie 2 v toulouse and the attack stops when it goes to him.he ok under a high ball.

It's nice that we can all pick our own preferred 17, and have our opinions on how the team should be balanced...but we have no idea at all of what state, particularly physically, each of the players is in.

We certainly don't have a healthy squad and appear to have quite a few "walking wounded".

Is our best 17 really the worst in SL, if and when fit??

Apart from the pass he sent to Kay for his try the Toulouse game?

After a two week + gap between games I would hope we don’t have hardly any walking wounded. There didn’t look to be any issue with them physically. As I have said we won the forward battle and had the lions share of field position and yardage/possession on the oppositions line. We just failed (yet again) to turn pressure into points and showed weak resolve in goal line defence.

Our best 17 isn’t the worst in superleague for quality no but it may be the weakest in terms of attitude and application.

1 try in how many games.not havung a pop at maxbut just dont getvthe hype around him at times we have won 3 games this season 2 of them we had an on loan player at fb.i sae minns play there on fridayand he looked good yes only v reserves but surleww need to try somthing

IMO Our squad seems to suffer more from mental issues ( right mindset/attitude ) rather than physical challenges if I was a guessing man. Take Roby for example the other day ,gets a finger dislocated, physio comes on puts it back in and off he goes , that’s what you call commitment and a tough mentality . We have the medical facilities to care for the walking wounded who will be assessed whether fit for action , but do we have a phycologist in the camp who can get them up mentally for the rigours of a game . We seem to wilt in the face of tough opposition . I’m no expert in anything least of all, sports psychology (I’ve all on spelling it ) but I do think we are missing a trick in so much as modern athletes need both physical and a good mental attitude to succeed in the modern era in any sport .

Max let Bott in twice was really poor from him. Lucky we don't have another decent full back.

Whatever the problems with the team I don't think they lie at fullback.
There are some people who like Max there and some who don't, and they will have the same view even if he plays a blinder every week.
I would 'rest' Lyne and try Minns there.
No doubt the forwards new an injection of fresh faces though, who aren't set in their ways - new ideas, and will to win!

I think Max has been one of the most consistent player all season if not the most, so if Sundays game wasn't up to his usual standard then fans should make allowances for the odd blip, I understand that he might not be to everyone's taste especially Rocky fans which included myself but even so credit should be given where it's due, just goes to show the fickleness of some fans.

The performance problems do not start with our fullback because the opposition have usually got through or around our line of defence leaving him somewhat isolated. I would suggest we look elsewhere to try to sort our defence maybe by being able to score more points.

Fullback is not the issue for us.
If we switch then so be it. But for me Max is the safest pair of hands we have.
You are only seeing his involvement in the tries because he made an effort to get there when no one else did.

But It's not just a blip With Max. Like I've said before Max Is Great catcher of the ball a very good Attacker a great passer of the ball But his tackling Oh dear I got slaughtered on here before, mentioning this, but Sunday it was there clearly for everyone to see. But it's there in all matches if you look It always has been He hides it very well diving at players & just missing going in with the knees. He's always 2nd or 3rd man in a tackle But it is something we should look at & I know there's lots of things wrong at Wakefield. But he is our last line of defence & it would help if he could tackle. Chester wouldn't play him so, & I'm only guessing, he could see it that's why we kept getting fullbacks instead of playing him. This argument could go on for a long time

So apart from the fact Chester DID play him.

I still don't get that people think Jowitt was at fault for those tries when Hall and Gaskell actually touched the guy but didn't make a tackle and Dave left the gap because he jumped out of the line
