Just remind me where was the effort to stop the Wakey try, as I have said in a previous post it was a hopeful grubber and not one Giant made the effort to get to the ball, it was a bloody gift

| Should have gone for the try!
We need a full time captain to lead on the pitch. Hate to be critical of individuals but Hinchy was totally ineffective, disappointing and lacking in leadership today.
Totally inept and disappointing performance yet again.

| nothing wrong with going for the kick, brough wanted to play on but if he could actually convert the kick then we would be drawing!
we couldnt score a try or would have knocked on the next play so right decision, ellis could have taken it

| What really grinds my gears is how some of the players go and see their families and friends straight after the final whistle - especially after defeats like the last couple of weeks.
They should be straight down the tunnel waiting to take the -kicking they deserve.
These are professional sportsmen. They can catch up with their families after they have had a debrief, shower and necessary treatment.

| Are Ellis, Wood & Leeming super league quality? not so sure
Are they good enough for teams looking to win a trophy? definitely not
Are there players better in the championship? yes
Would they get in any other super league team? nope
For me none of them would stand out in the championship. Once Brough retires we are literally doomed.
Hooker and a Half Back are priority for me signings wise for next year. I would not be too fussed if Hinchclife was released to go home early to make way for a new hooker.

Just watched the highlights on Sky. You must have interesting lenses in your specs for it to been seen as offside. Even on freeze frame, when the ball left Finn's foot shows him onside.

That's the problem when you play a rubbish team, they tend to drag you down to their level, hopefully when we play Leeds next week we will be able to aspire to our normal high standards.
Good luck in the middle eights' something tells me you'll need it in buckets full

What level did Hull KR drag you down to last week, and as far as the middle 8's go we are there because we deserve to be , probably a great kick up the arris for all concerned, now we will have to see what they are made of, on the other hand at least we have an easy match in the next round od the Challenge Cup

grix gives a try a away every single game that is 100 percent guaranteed
today that 1 try would of been enough to lose us the game so makes no difference

Hull KR were worthy winners. They had players back that had been missing for many of the games they've lost. No one at Wakefield were making excuses for that. The team has built up plenty of credit already.
As for your dig at Wakefield? The days of Giants fans looking down their nose at Wakefield are long gone. You won't get any bites on that. Just pity.
Having been where you are, we know a change is needed. Psychology of a losing side is very hard to change and needs an expertise I think Anderson lacks, or at least has no experience of it to call on.
The telling thing for you was that even though Kirmond looked a bit off side, he was miles from the ball and ran past 3 Giants who were closer. No attempt to get to the ball all looking at someone else. That's an attitude that's hard to change.
Brian Smith did it for us as Kear did before him when the current coach had lost the team.

What is your fixation with Grix, I said we had players stood not attempting to defuse the situation which is correct, what has Grix got to do with it jeez

I was looking for a response from Chissett who talked about levels depending on who the opposition are/were, but going on you are so right about the try today, it was immaterial where Danny K was as it was as you say a case of the Giants defence all looking for someone else to deal with what was a hopeful grubber, probably looking for a repeat set from a goal line drop out

Although to some extent we contributed to our own downfall we were beaten by a far better team on the day, and credit from our fans for that was duly recognised, but having won only 4 games all season do you really want to debate your short comings for the other 13 you have lost? just a thought really
The thing is about making a ridiculous statement is unless you can guarantee success it makes you look rather silly, especially when you are having to rely on a team who have let you down time after time this season. Hope that's the reaction you were wanting squire.

It's worth saying as well that my "we have been where you are" comment is made in the knowledge that we are not really very far from it again. I don't think anyone at Wakefield is under any illusions that we have hit the big time, but we are enjoying this season.

You enjoy it.
From what I've seen of Wakey this year you deserve to be where you are in the table. It doesn't usually lie.
Danny Kirmond was a favourite of mine at the Giants and I was sad to see him leave.
He epitomises Wakey at the moment - plenty of attitude and character and a great captain leading by example.

| our players just seem to stand and watch the ball bounce around in our goal area after a kick, whats that all about
murphy got injured as taai just let it bobble around, murphy picked up and ran it out
needs fixing, bloody boot the ball into the stands if needed, dont just watch it as an oppo player comes in and grounds it, fed up of this.
