Not sure what it looks like on TV but i thought it has been a much improved performance from Trinity. All players are standing up and having a go. Kirmond in particular has been immense in defence. Just a shame that Bradford scored on the hooter (Great try though).

More of the same in the second half please without the careless errors that started to creep in towards the end of the half.

Bugger!

gleesons D poor still, improvement by blanch though. Come on trin

Well that was a poor show in the second half. I don't think Trinity would've scored if they played all night they way they were going in the 2nd.

Great effort from Paul King, Sam Obst, Aaron Murphy & Mick Korkidas.

Ahem!

Shocking 2nd half. Complete lack of concentration and composure from us. You could see the balloon deflate the moment Nero went over just before half time. After that, we were never in it.

Credit to Bradford, they lost a few players to injury, but really stepped up a gear in the 2nd half. Menzies had a fantastic game for them, Godwin too. Worthy winners. We went from heroes to zeros faster than a fart. Very disappointed, to put it mildly.

That second half showing was for the large part appalling. The amount of mistakes and crucial ones at that was inexcusable.

Cooke was terrible again, symbolised by that pass that when behind everyone when we were deep in their half and the pee poor attempt at a short drop out.

Gleeson had his now usual shocker in defence and also tried the impossible pass when we were on their line with tackles in the bag.

I know we had the positive thread earlier and the first 39 mins were largely positive, but very hard to say anything positive about the second half.

Im not sure why we perservere with young Morton on the bench at the moment. His confidence is low and he looks like he could do with a spell back in the reserves. Davy should have been on the bench. JD's distribution is not good enough to go acting half when latu is off.

Why did Gledhill get so little game time?

Lets hope BJ is fit for next week. Cooke and Gleeson should be nowhere near the 19 next time out.

We have taken a big step back in that 40 mins

Is it just me? But the players don't look fit enough to go a full game or am I being harsh.

No its not just you. We do seem to run out of juice in the 2nd half. Its as if we are putting all our effort in to trying to win the match in the first half. The amount of penalties we concede don't help either.

No suprise to see Bradfords conditioner is the one and only Geoff Evans. I am not necessarily blaming Colin Sanctuary, but when Evans was at Wakey we used to blow teams away in the last quarter with superior fitness

agree with post ref morton been on bench a waste of a sub if you ask me

One aspect of our (Bradford's) game that has improved beyond recognition this season

Evans is an excellent conditioner. There were many a game that Trinity won which they didn't really deserve to due to the superior fitness levels during his tenure.

As a neutral watching that game, I don't think you could fault Trinity's effort in that one - poor form, low confidence and frustration seemed to prevent you getting it together in the 2nd half.

One obvious stand out for the wrong reasons is the clearly overweight and uninterested Paul Cooke.

Don't know if I'd quite say the same - but I do know there are several games Bradford have snatched or clung on to this season that they would have let slip before Evans' arrival.

No TRB tonight

I noticed that.


Gledhill looks like a useful player.

Think King was outstanding tonight MOM by a mile great effort from Korki, Kirmond,Murphy and Moore. good 1st half from Sam but silly mistakes in 2nd half let him down

As for Cooke what can I say useless lazy unfit waste of salary cap space who could cost JK his job HOPE NOT
never rated this fella no stand off not a loose forward or 2nd row just want rid of him

Jk has got more right than wrong but Cooke,Sculthorpe and Jeffries are among the worst signing I have ever seen at Wakefield

dont think George will ever make a centre but would keep him on the wing JD is knacked end of Latu sorry dose nothing for me Gleeson cant cut it at this level

For my money now I want to see us giving the likes of Olstrom, Hyde a run in place of Gleeson and Blanch

Lord knows what we do at halfback

Didn't like Cooke before he came ( to put it mildly ) - but he's becoming worse every game .
Jk will lose his job over this h@le - 120 grand a year for a lumbering alcoholic who's knackered after 5 mins - belting move that one !

you seem to have 120 as a fixation...

get your facts right!

You seem far too reasonable and sensible for this place.

King was bloody brilliant for you tonight. Was your MOM by a mile IMO. Korki was great too. Those two should have gone back to the sheds with their heads held very high indeed. I thought King was easily the best forward on the park, and that's despite Beaver having a superb game. As I said on RAB, if I was a girl I'd want to have his babies. But Cooke is a waste of space wakner, I suggest? Kear is easily the best coach in the game for getting the best out of "problem" players - look what he has done with Moore (big respect), for example. But I reckon he's pushing it uphill with that wassock.

With BJ I reckon you might have won that tonight. Murphy...I think your coach has a point - he looks VERY good. Obst was great first half, but struggled second half when our pack wrested the game from you.

You lost that game when we successfully defended four sets on our own line second half. You should have put us away in the first half, when you were very very good.

Eh? Fixation ???
We are paying him 40 grand , hkr 80 - waste of money in anyones book
the only fixation is that we shouldn't of signed him in the first place

Didn't we have 6 repeat sets at one stage? Maybe 5, seemed a lot.

Agree mate,said practically the same else where.When we were on top in the first half if we could of put a couple of more tries on you we may have had the game won,but with the ko's on your line and other silly mistakes and penalties which led to your try at the end of the half, seemed to dent the teams confidence,which is obviously low at the moment .They for some reason in the second half seemed rattled and were just making error after error and once Bradford got their game together Wakefield had no answer.

Welcome to Wakefield Trinity Wildcats... The ultimate 38 minute team.

Yes and yes.

Seemed obvious to me from the fisrt minute of the second half that we had been figured out, Bradford change tack and took the game away from us, BJ would have least made an effort and injected pace into our game.


Even my wife says Kears lost it signing that waste of space Cooke, unfit and not interested, other "problem players" have at leased fought for our cause.
