Thur 11th May: SL: Wakefield Trinity v Hull FC KO 20:00 (Sky)

[Andrewj]

Unfortunately for Wakefield every year they have relied upon the prompted team to keep them up. Including voting to give the prompted team less money but finally the chickens have come home to roost....poor at best including their facilities!!

You do realise the main stand isn't built yet and not in use yet dont you...

[Expatknight]

I can’t believe Applegarth will still be in charge this time next week, surely his own pride would make him walk away from this.

''It hasn't been a 9/10 performance'' from Hull, according to Baz.

Cool story, but not true. 

Doesn't change the fact how poor we are this year and will be rightly demoted.

That went 10. Horrible from the touchie.

[GeordieSaint]

Shocking defence for that Taylor try followed by a diabolical decision to deny the Clifford try…

[Man of Kent]

Does Jack Smith know the rules?

It is absolutely true Wakefield voted to withhold money from the promoted team when Toronto folded. That was a self interest decision!!

I'd be more worried about the touch judge who was right by it.

Yes but they weren't the only one's.

[Ragingbull]

Jack Smith strikes again. 

I say it almost every week. Hes completely incompetent

Fair.

Agreed its all about self preservation.  Looking forward to seeing the Rovers in Superleague next season  

[Man of Kent]

This isn’t news but that Wakefield pack is woefully short of Super League standard. As ye sow, so shall ye reap etc.

This game looked like a throw back to when the clubs committee picked the team(s) devoid of coaching. game plans and strategies depending on individuals doing good.

Didn't realise we had that much power, no one else involved in that decision? Also Toronto were paying SBW more than the salary cap limit so that's a red herring.

I can't recall a season where we've relied on being just better than the promoted team to stay in SL. Not happened in the last 5 or 6 years anyway.

It was a very poor game. No matter what the coaches say !!

They aren't going to admit it lol.

[DimmestStar]

Toronto spent more money on one player than the whole central funding so let's not cloud the issue with that nonsense.

This was not a great game on the eye, Wakefield had all the attacking threat of a dead sheep. Hull won't mind, you never turn your nose up at a 6-26 away win.

Wakefield must wish they could just start next season in the championship right now. All they have to look forward to in Super League is another 15 games of purgatory before the inevitable. 

[SUPERSTUD]

Someone is definitely in the know going forward be it Carter Minnards Applegarth Ford etc. Anyone with half a brain knows where I am coming from.

   When Wakey do get relegated to the Championship they may find it harder than they think to get promoted next season.

Who gives a XXXX about promotion?! All we'd end up seeing is what we're dishing up right now.
