Does Brian Noble think he’s commentating to 5 year olds some of his terminology is juvenile “Tonga have got the bash bash bits right”

Try was conceded on the right? what are you on about?

That was Ashton

That’s 2 more try saving tackles for Tom Johnstone in this Test Match to add to the 2 from the first Test

Well let’s be really honest then Warrington should never have been allowed in SL when at Wilderspool St Helens should never have been allowed in SL when at Knowsley Road Hull FC should never have been allowed in SL when at Boothferry Park HKR should never have been allowed in SL before New Craven Park was refurbished Salford should never have been allowed in SL when at The Willows You see where I’m going here? Some of those clubs have been very lucky that their need for a new stadium coincided with some other 3rd party’s need for new commercial developments and also that it happened at a time of economic prosperity making their new stadiums financially viable. Some fans have very short memories and/or are Johnny come lately’s whose knowledge of the game is puddle deep. Should maybe be thankful that their clubs got the stadium over the line and not descend into arrogant and selfish snobbery when judging the efforts of clubs who weren’t so lucky!

Utter rubbish and shows no understanding of the game Johnstone is left with 2 men to mark after King steps in to help Smith, what else can he do but put pressure on the man with the ball in an attempt to shut down the advantage.

My only reasoning for Welsby being named Captain is the]at Wane thinks it will mature him. If so, I’m not sure it’s the best reason to make someone your National Captain. Personally I don’t think Welsby is Captain material, not yet at least

Great footwork from Jake Wardle, broke the first line of defence and got a good inside pass away to set up the try

Watch the game as a knowledgeable fan & get excited when warranted Celebrate the fantastic not the ordinary Keep your catch phrases fresh (not Stevo Bingoesque) Avoid being monotone Don't indulge in commentary team in-jokes (SKY team take note) Understand the value of silence (unlike Rod Studd) Know the players names & be accurate about the play Have belief that todays players are at least the equal of yesteryears Don't try to educate the listener

With around 30x more money available I think he’s got a chance

This guys been a Wakefield Trinity fan for over 25 years and really wants the club back at the top during his ownership

Wakefield Granite Tops is a good name, we could play in a marble kit, black with white veins for home and white with black veins for away.

Here are the main points made by the new Owner and Chairman Invest finances in the club to allow us to have the budget to maintain a full-time playing squad and to bounce back into Super League and then challenge to be a top 6 Super League club in the coming years. Create a winning culture at the club where everyone involved with club gives 100% effort. Appoint Daryl Powell as the new head coach on an initial 4-year deal. Appoint a recruitment and salary cap manager to ensure we have fully researched every new player signing for the club. Ensure the youth setup and youth scouting setup delivers the best players coming through the Academy/Scholarship and once they reach first team level keep them at the club. Attract and keep top players from both the UK market and overseas. Engage with the supporters and people of Wakefield to make the club the most fan oriented professional sports club in the game. A new Wakefield Trinity App is being developed and will be ready for the start of the new season. Enhance our work with local businesses to attract new sponsors and hopefully negotiate discounts for Trinity supporters (can’t promise this one!) Raise the number of supporters to fill the stadium. Finance/introduce monthly season ticket options to make season ticket payments easier for the supporters. Fully utilise the new East Stand and facilities and put on events for everyone to enjoy. Make the ground facilities better to improve the matchday experience. Ensure our youth, women’s, PDRL, LDRL and Wheelchair teams get the support required to succeed. Work with the Foundation to help maintain and where possible improve our community work.

Maybe somewhere like Fartiwn

Better get rid of three quarters of your squad then

Correct, I wonder, while they’re sneering, if they’ve considered all the off field staff who are likely to lose their jobs in the next week or two. As you said classless!

Ahead of genuine centres like Farnworth and Wardle?

1. Welsby 2. Young 3. Wardle 4. Farnworth 5. Johnstone 6. Williams 7. Dodd 8. Burgess 9. Clarke 10. Havard 11. Whitehead 12. McMeekin 13. Radley 14. Lomax/Smith 15. Bateman/Nicholson 16. Thompson 17. Knowles/Oledski/

and size IS-6’5”, DY-6’6”, JW-6’3”, LS-6’5” Not bad for a three quarter line

£2Million won’t scratch the surface at Weldon Road, they’re better off waiting and adding that money to whatever they can raise in the short term future anything else is just frittering the money away on superficial cosmetics

2 more outstanding finishes and a superb assist from Dom Young this morning in the first round of the play offs Vs Canberra

Very sad news RiP David Watkins A genuinely GREAT player

Best dummy I ever witnessed was from Bill Ashurst to David Topliss for Wakefield against Bradford. I think it was Keith Mumby who bought it but everyone in the stadium did too. Even David Topliss thought he had the ball while Bill just strode on and scored a try

There is a correlation but it’s the other way around The decline in the community game of]verb20 years or so has inevitably lead to a decline in the professional game. If you reduce the number of people taking up the game then you narrow the base of the talent pyramid which eventually leads to a reduction of quality at the very top. We’re now seeing that reduction in quality play out across the Superleague where there are many players who just aren’t good enough and wouldn’t have been top players 15 years ago
