Here is my assessment. The team as a whole has no idea how to create and overlap for winger or create a gap for a player to run through. The forwards take the ball standing so are never going to break a tackle. No one is even trying an offload. The defence is OK until they go behind then they give up.Dagger wasn't good enough for KR so he isn't good enough for us. Kershaw just runs sideways so does Lynne. Langi and Tafua try hard but are too slow. Lino is getting no help. Smith is not a superleague halfback. Whitbread and Battye are probably our best forwards. Ashurst Proctor and Pitts need to retire Hoods passing from the play the ball is too slow and Atoni is a complete fraud. He played 10 minutes gave away 2 penalties, dropped the ball and looked like he wasn't interested then got substitued only to return when it was 22-0

I like Applegarth as a person (or at least how he comes across). He's clearly a nice bloke and he clearly knows his rugby otherwise he wouldn't have been so highly thought of. But I cannot abide by him piacking Atoni and Proctor over other players like Sam Eseh (or even sending Butler on loan for that matter who also had a better pre-season than those two). We bring a player in on loan and don;t play him (Senior) and we also leave Bowes out (who for me is our liveliest hooker and should at least get on the bench). I can't understand some of the selections but there's also a lack of attacking structures. Isn't that the coaches job? Leigh's structures looked so much better. Only other excuse I can give him is how disrupted the spine has been but don't think Gaskell and Jowitt change much.

Leigh didnt play that well to beat us as soon as they scored our heads went down and game over the second half was merely a training exercise for them apart from lino whitbread kershaw and pitts-who should be made captain straightaway-not just a lack of effort like smiths tackling but no heart unless we get a couple of players in with something to prove like escare or corey norman and play a hooker at hooker ie bowes i cannot see us winning a single match this year weve scored 23 points in 8 games will we score a 100 for the season im almost tempted to see what paddy power has to say on it

Thanks for that!

It’s true though. You bombed a couple at least with some sloppy execution, the Briscoe pass & an unnecessary obstruction spring to mind. If you’d have been clinical you could have got 50, which speaks volumes to how poor we are because you are a very handy team but you shouldn’t be that much better.

No point twisting it to make you feel better.

At least they aren’t bringing shame and embarrassment to the Trinity colours because we decided to not use them this season after all what’s special about this one.

Nothing is going to make me feel better believe me, especially acknowledging you could have done us by even more.


Even your coach said after the game, “I was a bit frustrated at times as we probably blew four for five tries as well,”

I think you are maybe just a player or two away in your pack from being a real play off chance this year which for a promoted side is some going.

I thought you guys played well today. You've certainly shown us what can be achieved when you have an owner who actually cares about the club. Sadly, our current owners don't care enough to learn from others in how to run it properly or to find someone else who does.

Good luck for the rest of the season and for your next season in super league too

To be fair SC, he always seems to say that.

Forgot to mention that it's clear to everyone with a set of eyeballs that the current incumbents in leadership roles are the wrong choices. One wouldn't get in a team that's going to get relegated and the other (as experienced and as good as he has been) wouldn't say boo to a goose. Pitts is the only bloke that is a leader in that side.

Dire performance.
Lino was on his own out there.
No one laying into each other after a try had been scored....
Feel sorry for Will Dagger.
Ref wasn't the best, but at the end of the day, it didn't matter.

And one that has [isignificant [/ifunds to put into the team....
As I said, please do put your money into the club to see where we'd go.

Many have which went towards a mower I believe.

I do wish that I had your extraordinary wit....

I believe it is true, but it was a top of the range mower.

It would appear the club is looking to utilise the players in some sort of tyre inflation service for other players. They must pass some sort of test showing confidence in inflating their own tyres first.

It was mentioned on here a few weeks ago, about people's perception of a certain person a few weeks back, which in all honesty brought mixed responses,both good and bad.

You do hear of players losing respect for a coach.

Could the same be happening here, but instead of the coach losing respect, it's someone else

A 32 - 0 loss (especially at home) would literally hurt for days (maybe even weeks) prior to this season.
I barely felt anything at Full Time yesterday (and no I wasn't there, gave up attending matches weeks ago) there wasn't a flicker of emotion, I just laughed and moved on with my day.

This season is literally zapping away all my enthusiasm for Wakefield Trinity.
It will return, probably next season when we are in the Championship.

I feel pretty much the same way Wildthing. Though to be honest, I'm feeling that way out with the sport in general. It's been a while since I watched a game, and really enjoyed being there.

I felt on Good Friday, that maybe I need a detox a bit from the sport altogether, as i was fearing that it might start to affect mental health, and to start, removed myself from any social media to do with the sport, including this, only chancing my eye yesterday. Don't know whether that will carry on in going into going to games, I've been going 45 years nearly, and you can't just turn it off.

I felt no emotion at the end, whatsoever

I felt anger that i’d given them another (undeserved) chance, that i’d paid good money and given up another day to support them that could have been doing something more enjoyable instead. It is not a mistake i will be making again.

The sickening thing to me is that there seemed to be a good crowd there yesterday and they were with the players all the way until they did their usual now, capitulation.
I thought Lino was MOM by a country mile and there was effort there by most of the team BUT the quality is not there.
For those who still have hope, I admire your optimism.
I for one am sick of seeing dross like that served up game after game.
How the hell do you expect to get spectators in to watch that?
The sad part about it is that there's still most of the season left to watch our demise continue.
Get a deal done with Atoni, Proctor, and Tafua to return home because they are no better than what we already have. Play Windrow and Eseh! The loan players have added little, but there there again if you don't play them how can they?

What makes me angry is that they have turned the club into a laughing stock. We have always struggled with an image problem but this season they have managed to drag the club down to a new level. We have usually struggled with the ground but produced a team that always kept us in SL for 25 years. This season we may have sorted the ground but at the expense of what brings in the crowd the team. We are an embarrassment despite 25 years in SL, progress on the field started to regress four seasons ago and I am not sure we have finished yet.

Loan players shouldn't be guaranteed a spot.
I didn't mind Taufua playing instead of Senior.
I can see Proctor is putting effort in. He was all over the place for his stint, and was really peed off when it wasn't working for us but as you say you need your NRL GF winning signing to be best on field.
Atoni is just a waste. Not sure why Mason not in.

So once again nothing from the club. Stuck with the current coaching team then on course for relegation.
