he also plays well against quins and salford (well he always did for us)

BURN HIM!!!

You've got Paul Cooke, everything will be fine

BURN HIM

3 players played their usual 100% games yesterday. Korky, Richard moore and aaron murphy. Good on you lads!! Rest of you hang your heads in shame as for Paul Cooke you are the biggest waste of a Wakefield shirt ive ever set eyes on! Hides in defence, doesnt bend his back even to pick a ball up goes missing not for minutes but yesterday for most of the 80 minutes and for his kicking daddy cool at half time kicked better. its a shame we have resorted to signing this kind of rubbish and for him to come and try to fill broughies boots your having a laugh Kear! I wouldnt even let him near the boot cleaning room he was DIRE!!! We started the season with 90% same team that won games obviously weve lost that 10% of class we had.

TBF I thought Korki, King, Murphy and JD were the stands out for us supported by the willing work of Hendo. The rest for me were way off.

That said Brough wasn't playing that well for us before he left. Some people have short memories. That said he's a bit of an enigma and players of that nature are hard to find and replace.

Even the everwilling leadership and work of Morrison was absent on Sunday. That poor bloke looked knackered and I am not surprised as he's carried the team in recent weeks.

It's class, quality and leadership we're missing at the moment IMHO. We're low on confidence and I think JK has shown a little too much loyalty to some players of late.

Interesting times ahead for sure....

very very harsh on Paul Cooke. He has played only 4 games for us in different positions and with different partners. He probably isnt match fit due to lack of game time. Time will prove that he is a very good player. We need to get behind him rathe rthan slag him.

Here here we need a scrum half and quick !

You beat me to that one



We have a full back in the youth team

Please dont start having a go at Cooke. What we need is a 7, who is a natural 7 and plays at 7.

At the moment we have 4 players who are in the first team every week that can play 6 but get pushed into 7 even though it is not their natural position - Cooke, BJ, Morrison and Obst.

The whole time we just "fill" 7 with a make shift 6 we will not have an idea on the field.

We must now be massively under the salary cap (even though I am sure we were before) - Newton on £80k, Tronc on possibly similar, Brough on £120k thats £380k we accounted for this year so call it circa £280k + the fee received for Brough and the fact we are not paying Korkis contract now which means we could afford any 7 in the world, or with a fee one of the top 7s.

Basically after this long maths reply I am asking for the club to put its hands in its pockets and use some of the spare cash they were not anticipating on having at this stage and keep the fans on the terraces before they walk.

You forgot to mention Jeffries

MMMM! under the salary cap mmm! maybe? money to spend mmm! maybe?
Remember one thing when you ask these questions the man who makes money decisions at the club makes ebeneezer scrooge look like richard prior in brewsters millions!!!

bloke behind me took offence to ben jeffries getting MOM and proceeded to slag him off. Mrs jeffries took offence to this man and threatened to spit on him from the window above. how funny that was!!!

Jeffires played reasonably well yesterday. He was looking for gaps and runners, esp in the 2nd half

i think korki, king, hendo, murph and maybe jd gave 100% sunday. they were let down by the rest who seemed to lack aggression and enthusiasm. tronc was a disgrace, could hardly be called a professional sportsman. him aside ,the forwards have been pretty solid this season. i'd say this week we should see gledhill, davey, hyde and morton. let those that want to play, play and those that don't p off

I've said before that I think we need a name signing to give this season a lift and bring people to the game, now that 3 of our few crowd pullers/pleasers have departed. But it also depends on who's available. No point chucking whatever money you're no longer shelling out on some big name signings on someone who doesn't fit the bill. In those circumstances, I'd sooner we saved what we have and got someone decent in at a later stage, or next season, even if that means relying on a lot of the youngsters to see us through. These lads have never let us down in the past.

He wanted to play with a big team though so you can hardly blame him.

Why did he go to Bradford then?

To be fair, Bradford supporters do seem a little more portly then your average RL fan, so i can see the reference in the Mystic one's post, which by it very presence must mean the Bulls are above Trinity once again.

Hmmm wonder what the suspension would be if he =#BF4000EDIT: blah, blah, blah...

Same suspension as you're about to receive for making the same tedious insinuations.

Keep banging that drum, sonny. I can delete your accounts a lot faster than you can create them.

RR

He couldnt get into a big team.

He wanted to learn from "arguably the best young coach in the British game".

And yet there are still some fools on the Bradford board calling for their coach to be sacked! What a bunch of muppets. Unbelieveable!

its a huddersfield matter so take it to their boards , or have you something to hide?

Danny has gone, we move on, in time we will have another good No 7 and hopefully soon will be linkin up well with Cooke or Jefferies to start creating again, lets be patient (but not too patient!!) have we any young lads coming through we can throw in ?, other teams have done it with success.

Too true. Anyone who thinks Cooke is going to be the organiser Brough was needs their head testing not the same style of player at all and neither are BJ or Obst.
