Looking at the muted celebrations from the players after our try....do they actually wanna win this?!

For wakey to survive Smith needs to go nevermind being made captain.

Get in!! Looking alot more lively this second half

Don't know how many wakey fans are there but they're making some noise.

Tupou chance not giving it to Owen is it going to cost us the game....

Port decision making and even poorer defence is why we'lol be going down

That lost us the game

100% agreed with that

Think it was raised at the time that Tupou isn't a centre and he has little experience there to make the right split second decision...

It's going to be very tough now. Home games need to be won along with Sheffield away.

That and Scott Moores general performance.

Owen would have put the game to bed if Tupou had just given that ball. Plus, seemed like Sio only played about 20 minutes even though we looked alot better with him on. Coulda, woulda, shoulda

Bless

Seriously it's not fair to blame it on Tupou, he made a split second decision that cost you a potentially match winning try. The score at the other end came of a really poor kick. For me both teams were in turn ok and very poor, shame you lost but there is at least something to build on.

it was at our request that we swapped Moore for McShane, from what I saw not the best money saving idea.

First of all, Salford on paper are almost the strongest team in the 8's. Chase, Dobson, Jones-bishop, Sau, Patterson, really poor players eh?! I think not, for all their off field problems, lets not forget just a few weeks ago they scored 30 odd unanswered points against HKR, so when their heads are on, they are a match for anybody. Considering we didn't turn up until almost half time, we did pretty well. The last 10 minutes was shocking, Scott Moore was poor most of the game, Sio was probably having his best game so far, yet was taken off?! Shame for Tupou because thought he was playing well, but obviously his decision not to pass did cost us the game. Scruton at dummy half?! Just brain explosions sadly. Positives, at times Miller and Smith did combine well, negatives, long kicking game was awful. Thought Mullally and Molloy were good. Lee Smith excellent goal kicking, but he's too slow for me.....

Moore had a 4 v 2 on his outside and chose to kick anyway just because it was the last tackle, poor kick at that. He then got stepped when he should have made the tackle.

Reece Lyne despite being a winger and reputedly a speedster never made much effort to chase back but then totally gave up with 45 metres still to run to the try line.

We had that game won then preceded to throw it away with bad decision making, poor execution, unforced errors and soft penalties which is typical Wakefield.

Hard work to avoid the million pound game now that is unless we finish 6th or below

Yeah, we already have a winner of the Sad Act of the week

.

5 words sum up that performance. Dumb.dumb.dumb.dumb.dumb. In that order.
Jesus when are we going to wake up and smell the coffee, that we're in a dogfight for our lives.

But what I don't get is, why are people so surprised?!! We are an average team at best, the league table doesn't lie does it? In a normal 27, 28 game season we would have conceded over 1000 points, we have only made small improvements under BS, not enough to suggest we can beat any Super League opposition sadly. Let's not forget though, when asked in his first interview, BS said what needed fixing wasn't rocket science, they were his words, yet we have won once under him in 9 is it now?

It's disappointing that we didn't win but you can't seriously be suggesting we haven't improved under Smith?

Like I said, small improvements, but obviously not enough?! At the end of the day, we have to start winning games, simple as, there's no hiding place for the players, coaching staff or anyone, can't keep blaming the ref etc every week and hiding behind lame excuses, I've actually stood up for them a bit by bulling up Salford in a previous post! The first half hour was inexcusable as re. lack of just enthusiasm, I make no wonder if true he and the players now won't speak to the press.

There was no lack of enthusiasm from my view.
The 6th tackle play and a bit of discipline around the ruck cost us in first half.

First half kicking game was shocking! Salford kept getting the ball on the front foot and played on from there. Also dummy half marking was awful right from the kick off, if you cant do it from the start what chance do you have later in the game! We cant keep giving teams leads and hoping we can come back, This coupled with a PROP at dummy half after the hooker took a scamper, passing the ball into touch under no pressure, flopping on the tackle when the game was in the balance, kicking out on the full from the kick off, BASICS, BASICS!!!

I am sorry but the tackling for the Griffin try's both of the brothers was nothing short of appalling. I admit we have improved but sadly still not enough. We have changed the team, allowed players to leave and be replaced by those we wanted but still we lose.
The most worrying thing is that we have been building up for these games for several weeks and still lose to a team in disarray off the field.
I would also say that it is time to play Johnston in place of Lyne because he has genuine pace and I doubt we will see him again next season if we are relegated.

Agree on Johnson. He probably would have caught Chase.
