Wakefield certain to go down - What next?

[daz39]

What next? 10 years of weirdo's claiming super league needs them.....

[Jughead]

Don’t know a lot about Applegarth and he’s walked into a tough job but surely another nilling edges them closer to the point where they have one last throw of the dice left, though who actually goes in, I have no idea.

The race is on now to be the first team to have the ignominy of losing to WakefiedNil.

We need a mercy rule. Very cruel to put Wakey fans through all these to nil drubbings.

Oh no it isn't !

How many of this Wakefield team get into other Super League side's 18? It's a squad of role players, I'm not sure it would be worth the time in trying to fix it this season, look straight at the Championship 2024 season and the IMG criteria

I’ll answer that for you, Sam Hewitt, Nathan Mason and Innes Senior would get a few runs in the Giants team while Will Dagger might get a run or two with Hull KR, apart from that, none!

As it happens, Huddersfield are the only team who has scored less then two tries against us.

It's looking like a very bad decision to dispense with the services of Willie Poching who steered Wakey to (eventually) comfortable safety in 2022.

To be fair teams can score less than 2 goals against you and still win...

[Expatknight]

What I don’t understand is why they got rid of Willie Poching in favour of Mark Applegarth, fair enough if they had gone for a known name with some track record - I think Tony Smith would have been better at Wakey than Hull, it just doesn’t make sense, unless of course it is down to money and Applegarth is cheap, like the old saying “ You get what you pay for “ . Apparently Wally Lewis is coming !

A win over Leigh tomorrow isn't impossible and then everything changes and other clubs will start to feel the pressure. 18 rounds to go...

Ummmm

Unfortunately we don’t have last season’s team, they have been replaced by players not good enough. The standard of Rugby in SL is that poor at the moment that if we’d have had last seasons team we’d be safe by now.

Better not to listen, best not to read.

In spite of the OP I used this very last post to say a) It's still not certain just bleak b) a social media forum is the last place to be when things aren't going well.

All the best to the Trin and their fans, and being smug when it's not you is not a good look.

And Whitbread.

To be fair I never thought a team would come close to our 2003 record but Wakefield this season look well capable of not winning a game and its going to take some doing to get their average points per game up to the 12 or so the mighty Fax managed that year.

How many would get in a championship side? Probably Lino and that’s it

Most of Wakeys team would be top Championship players , but collectively they aren't SL , it's a fine line

Yeah I agree with that. Most SL teams will have maybe 3 or 4 top class players, 8-10 further genuine every-week SL starters, and then another 10 who are good enough to play SL if they have enough quality around them. Wakefield basically have zero from groups A or B and a whole bunch from that third group who are borderline SL starters.
