Don't mean to be pedantic but it wasn't actually Hicks who gave the Purtell try, he quite rightly wasn't sure so handed it to the Video Ref. We cant blame Hicks for that decision.

TBH I can't even see Salford making the 8 this year don't forget they are a team strung together pretty much in the off season. Going to take time for them to gel also you LOST that game
Cas have the most depth to the squad we have had in years and when Webster is back to partner the Beast we have a centre and wing combo the will scare every team in the league and will score a lot of tries.
Rangi has gone which IMO is a good thing, he was fantastic for us but we relied to heavily on him and we were seen as a 1 man band that will not be the case this year we will be a lot more structured.
We have recruited very well, you on the other hand have had a lot of off field troubles lost the bulk of your squad your NEVER going to make the 8

You complete and utter bum hole. Bren said we were refereed out of the game, obviously stating that the VIDEO REF gave Purtell the try. Are they still performing lobotomies in Cas?

| Sammut should not have played imo. Simply not had enough time with his team mates to have a chance of it working, plus it disrupted the rest of the team having to shift players to fit him in 20 mins into the game.
Defence does seem better but ball handling and kicking was very poor.
One other aspect which frustrates me generally and not just last night is our abject failure to support the ball carrier. I am pretty sure most other teams in the league would have had 2 or 3 players supporting smith when he made that break and even if we only had 1 it would have been a try under the sticks

| You would have to hope Wakefield don’t play anywhere near as bad again this season, because last night was awful. Bradford didnt need to do anything special to score any of their tries last night, they were all gifted by countless unforced errors and stupid penalties. The decision to play include Sammut was a poor one, I thought Sykes and Godinet played well enough against us on Sunday (in the second half) to warrant another bash against Bradford. By bringing Sammut into the halves, you have two new half-backs with little training under their belts and it showed. Anywhere in and around the Bradford 10 and you looked clueless, apart from the obvious crash ball by Ali.
Completely different team from the one I watched in the second 40 at Salford and hopefully it was just a bad day at the office.

| Couldn't believe how bad your lads went last night, poor ball retention, ill discipline, missed tackles, poor kicking game coupled with some poor decisions from Hicks and the video ref gifted the Bulls a win. A bad day at the office all round, you get them days when nothing goes right, but no doubt Wakey will bounce back and can and will play better. Good luck for the rest of the season.

Is the correct answer. You now progress onto the grown up's board.

Webster is injury prone and is well past his best which is why he is at Cas and played only 7 games last season. Problem is you've got him until 2016 so keep paying for that expensive player in the treatment room.
I'm not so sure about your half backs to be honest either.
Carney is a very good winger I'll give you that and if he can stay suspension free and sort his tackle technique then he'll probably get 15-20 tries for you.
It's a long season you may well do slightly better than your 12th last year(one below us!).

| Funny how playing decent for 40mins last weekend has everyone salivating, then one game later everyone's in self destruct mode saying we're doomed,all our players are garbage, agar out etc. Seems to be the Wakefield way these past few years.
It's early days for us especially with all the new faces and off field fiascos, we were never going to hit the ground running and it's going to take a few games for us to hit our straps - fact!
For what it's worth, i thought Lynne played well last night, despite the obvious error which was pretty bad. But when you constantly watch someone under a magnifying glass, ready to pounce on every little error they make, naturally you are going to forget the good things ala Lynne/Tautai etc. Stop moaning and get behind them!

Glad you have mentioned this because I am a cynic. All you have to do is get heavily penalised for the first 15 minutes and the best teams in SL would find it difficult to get back into the game. The refs can even things up later but its too late the tone has been set and its all over.
I can understand head high shots, crossing, offside etc. But many of those last night that we got at the play the ball were killers. What we did was no different to what Bradford were doing but for some reason we seemed to get penalised. Further to that the penalty always seemed to happen on the 4th or 5th tackle.
Salfords first try last week came on the back of around 20 consecutive PTB's. Bradfords first try last night was just the same. Hard not to be suspicious.

| Most tries come after a team has buckled under sustained pressure. It's the nature of the game. This applies to all team in all games.
The crapper the team the more under pressure you’ll be due to mistakes and ill discipline. I’ve seen this at first hand as the Bulls have declined since 2006. We’ve given away more penalties. Is this a conspiracy? No. It’s our own fault.
Talk of conspiracies is plain daft.

Watching the game on TV it was clear that Wakefield were losing the collisions and were consistently being pinged for changing moving to cover the ball up after the held call. Hicks did penalise that more than you normally see, but he was clear in telling the players what he was penalising, in those circumstances you have to question the players.
As to the game itself Bradford clearly won the physical battle, that could be a worry for you or might simply be that they had a couple of fresh bodies and you did not after the short turn round from Sunday. My biggest criticism of your team is the hooker, McShane flaters to decieve, his distribution is poor and frankly he can hardly pass left to right at all. I lost count of the number of times he had to change hands passing that way. I think the worry would be that Collis and Kirmond may not get any good ball in attacking areas. McShanes threat around the ruck and good short kicking game are good, but I don't think the price of being unable to move the ball right is worth that.

You have a personal grudge with this lad?
Was MOM against Salford and is considered a loss by Leeds, Hull and Widnes fans - you seem in a minority but hey…..
….personally not seen enough of him yet but even on last nights showing he was a long way down on my list of offenders.
