Quote ="coco the fullback"I posted about this elsewhere.
It's specifically the first 6 games of the season, including cup games (even against lower league opposition)
I think you need to take into account the teams we have played this year - exclusively all in last year's top 6. (only missing Warrington)
It would be interesting to know if we've ever played only top 6 teams in the first 7 fixtures before?
Edit: and 6 out of the 7 away from home'"
Eh? What have last seasons finishing positions to do with this season? It's 17 against 17 every week against teams we've beaten on numerous occasions in any given season. Who are we "allowed" to beat then? Why have we got to take into account who we are playing? Total nonsense! We blew it against Leeds and Hull, played poor in the second half against Wigan and St Helens having matched them in the first half. And we've lost twice to Catalans, outmuscled in the cup game and went toe to toe last night. But for a dodgy call by Kendall we'd have probably won the game.
Let's have less of the excuses and more fight in the traditional Wakefield Trinity style. We seem to give up now when we concede a couple of scores. Where is the leadership, the fire in the bellies? I'm seeing plenty of effort and I applaud that but come on, we should be doing a whole lot better than this.
