Wakefield are like one of those Football teams who can play pretty well in the middle of the pitch, but lack something in the opponents' penalty box.

Baz says keep your head up Chris Chester, that’s only another nilling and another loss, is that 25 losses from the last 29 SL games! I’ve lost count of the number of players who’ve scored hat tricks against us but hey ho it’s not your fault so don’t worry!

Don’t talk to me about missing players, the teams that are taking the field are good enough personnel wise to get better results and perform to a higher standard than this!

This is absolutely abysmal!

Eh?

we lost 36-0 and wouldn’t have scored if we played till midnight!

Effort being better is just not enough to justify what we’re seeing

  1. Jowiit - First Choice Full Back
  2. Croft - Young home grown 20 yr old
  3. Gigot - French International at Centre 
  4. Tupou - First Choice Centre
  5. Senior - Quality Young 20 yr old brought in as cover
  6. Miller - First Choice Half Back
  7. Hampshire - First Choice Half Back
  8. Navarrete- First Choice
  9. Wood - First Choice
  10. Arona - First Choice
  11. Bachelor - First Choice option alongside Kirmond, Crowther etc
  12. Ashurst - First Choice
  13. Westerman - First ChoicE

SUBSTITUTES - 

Crowther - 23 yr old possible First Choice alongside Kirmond, Tanginoa etc

Kirmond - First Choice

Tanginoa - - First Choice Back Rower

Green - Bought by Chester as a First Choice or rotation Prop to replace England

We Have Johnstone & BJB missing who are significant losses, both off the wing. You can argue Lyne but we’ve brought in a French international to cover him so not so much of a loss in reality! Jay Pitts is missing but we have Ashurst, Kirmond, Bachelor, Tanginoa & Crowther all fit so no back row crisis!

Carter has stood Fifita down but Chester has deselected Walker, J Wood, Tangata and Kopczak, while he refuses to select Atkins and King even though they’re fit!

So where is this massive injury list that makes such an impact on the team selection?

Look at the team we started the game with and the bench, they are overwhelmingly majority First Choice players so why are we so abjectly terrible!

The injury excuse just doesn’t hold up when you take a proper look!

Before someone reply’s by stretching reality and names Brough or Arundel to make up a complete backline of injured players please don’t. Go give your head a pull till you hear a squelch then a popping noise as it exits your ass! Wakefield have 2 significant absentees in Johnstone and BJB that’s it!

I said this to my mate yesterday, the more the season goes on and the more it becomes clear that Wigan, Saints and wire wrap up 3 of the top 4 places, it will be between probably 2 others for the last spot, leaving 6 teams going through the motions for a few weeks.

What was the team when we beat Warrington earlier in the season?  If all the first choices you list above are correct it must have been the same team apart from BJB and Johnstone and Tupou who missed most of the match.

Thats rubbish. Even if fighting relegation against a top team they would have been hammered.   

More to the point why was Fifita dropped.  He was dropped for not willing to wear a GPS tracker for Covid-19 protocols last week.     This suggests to me that there is something else wrong at Trinity other than non relegation.

Standing Fifita down is no different to similar actions regarding Kay, Walker and Pitts.  All linked to a strange virus doing the rounds.  Surprised you haven't read about it somewhere or like many of us had personal experience due to peoples inability to conform to simple health and safety rules.

Apart from the ones I’ve already listed as other than, which players are NOT seen as First Choice alternatives in the team that played yesterday?

Are you saying that the team that played yesterday aren’t capable of better than what they served up?

Heres the team that beat Warrington 18 - 8 earlier in the season. 12 either played or were fit and available yesterday while Tupou switched to centre to replace Arundel, Gigot replaced Lyne, Kirmond replaced Pitts and Arona came into the team. All three of those are First Choice alternatives to those not selected. In addition Fifita was available but the CEO chose to stand him down.

That’s 3 players added to the 12 who were available or played leaving just the two young wingers who replaced Johnstone & BJB.

As I said in an earlier post, the injury excuse does not hold up when you look at it. 

Wakefield 18 Vs 8 Warrington v Yesterday

  1. Jowitt - Jowitt
    Tupou - Croft
    Lyne - Gigot
    Arundel - Tupou
    Johnsstone - Senior
    Miller - Miller
    Hampshire - Hampshire
    Kopczak - Navarrete (Kopczak was Available)
    K Wood - K Wood
    Tanginoa - Arona
    Pitts - Bachelor
    Ashurst - Ashurst
    Westerman - Westerman
    Subs
    J Wood - Crowther (J Wood was Available)
    Tangata - Tanginoa (Tangata was Available)
    Batchelor - Kirmond
    Navarrete - Green

My point is that its says (BBC) he was dropped for refusing to wear a tracker.

I strongly support people keeping to the rules.  I am very angry to see some young people being irresponsable.  

Some political nutjobs world wide are being the same.

Trinity seemed very flat, limited ideas, for what ever reason in this game, but their opponents may have had some say in the result. When a second rower goes 80m against them then may be a perfect storm got into their way.

If you can't have a dig after having 3 weeks off,you're never going to have a dig,lets see how they go after a run of games 

So Wakefield's ineptitude was down to them being tired rather than there being no relegation.
