The pack are second best in just about every game I have seen. No problem with effort but the size and ability are below standard.

For any scrum half to perform he need to play behind a dominant pack and Smith ait had that luxury. His half back partners also not up to scratch. We have missed a stand off all season . However Smiths attitude seems wrong to me.

Paul Sykes scored 4 tries for Featherstone yesterday and kicked 6 goals totalling 28 points in total. I'm not suggesting that one player on his own would make a difference but in my opinion he is a SL standard player playing in the championship that Wakefield should have retained this season to play at 6 alongside Tim Smith. He has a good kicking game and it takes some of the responsibility away from Smith.



Trinity also seem to need to Kirke, Ashurst and Lauitiiti back ASAP to bolster the pack which loses the forward battle every week.

Sykes is OK where he is.

I'm sure Paul Sykes thinks that as well. Probably on more money playing at a 'lower level' opposition with less pressure.



Why would he comeback to Trinity? No we'll carry on with stand offs that can't kick the ball, create, pass or tackle and instead blame the scrum half Tim Smith playing behind a beaten pack in an unfit team that has little coaching structure....

Exactly. It's easy to blame Tim Smith when he has been the only halfback on the pitch when his 6 has been non existent. Even the Skyes bashers have to admit Miller is the worst halfback ever to don the Wakey shirt, I'd even bring Jeremy Smith.

He thinks he's being funny, he has a big issue with spelling mistakes.

So must your first post, 5 words and you had to edit yer post



you need to put your energy into monitoring toilet lighting where you've had far more success.

The stand off situations been a bag of all season.

The players replaced last season would all get in the squad at the moment. Its a complete shambles . The pack just aint good enough and that includes all of them, plenty of effort but low on ability.

. Nothing fancy, just hard graft.

Agree with this apart from Scruton who has been effective.

What if there happened to be a scenario that certain players, even those under contract, have already got themselves deals lined up for next season elsewhere which would be activated should we go down. Now those deals are at clubs deemed more safe in superleague than ours and are actually worth more money and/or a longer deal than their current one so better for them and their families. So if/when we go down then it is an instant release, no negotiations, no transfer fees no nothing but if we were to stay up then it could be much more awkward to get a release and those deals could be scuppered. Do we think that could effect the effort being put in? And all this in addition to the players out of contract next year who will be announced as signing for other clubs for next year before the seasons end. Ridiculously given the season we have had there will not be many players in this squad who won't get a deal elsewhere if/when we are relegated. I believe their heads have already been turned and i think this is at the crux of the lack of desire problem, it's maybe in their personal interests if we do go down.

Heard a rumour, is Tim Smith going to be with you in 2016?
