So, what does SL hold for Wakefield in 2011?

Will we sell many season tickets?
Will attendances see an improvement?
What news on the stadium front will we get? Will work be able to commence next year?
Will JK stay or will he have himself in the shop window all year?
Which players can we sign? Will any sign deals longer than 1 year? And can we attract any quality players or will we have to make do with scraps and short term fixes?
Will we be given a licence?
What mid-season disruptions can we have next time around?
Will we keep Huddersfield below 50 points?
Can we improve on 2010 or will the downward slope continue?

I hate feeling so negative about my club. I've experienced the elation of barely avoiding relegation several times, I've also seen us compete in the playoffs. I've seen us score fantastic victories against all odds and I've seen us hammered by the likes of Leigh. The Super League season I'll liken this to most is 2005, starting so well after our success the year before and then the wheels just fell off. But we were never in real danger of going down, it was just a damp squib of a season with little visible effort at times. With last year's successes after the traumas that had seemingly galvanised the spirit of the club, I think we all felt that this season was going to be another good one. Exigent circumstances tore the wheels off once again and we never recovered. The squad's desire seemed to have dissipated completely. Talented and promising players seem to have lost the plot or be incapable of giving 100%. We look unfit and uninterested. No matter what positive spin is put on the stadium news and no matter how we excuse the latter MONTHS of poor performances this season, the future does look bleak and I do find myself wondering if we can possibly survive when the RFL's axe hangs over a Yorkshire club to make way for Widnes' shiny, already built stadium.

How can this be rectified?

Beats me.

To progress we need to do two things to start with and a third as soon as the time is right

1. Clear out the current coaching staff. JK and Beans cannot get a performance out of the players anymore and their tactics are now seriously outdated. Colin Sanctuary cannot get them suitably conditioned for RL.

2. Get some players in who are going to wear the shirt with pride. Alot of people are looking for some quality signings before renewing their season tickets and I don't blame them, but I would settle for getting some players in who have the heart and desire and basic skills needed to play the game.

3. Ted and Familty to be replaced with someone who can take the club into the new stadium on a positive note and run the club like a professional sports organisation (instead of a less than amateur one).

Wooden spoon!

Now the season is officially over apart from a dead rubber at Salford, the club should announce some of the signings for next year - don't see any point in delaying the annoucements until Sept. I sincerely doubt that we will be signing any players who will be actively involved in the play-off teams, so their clubs not wanting us to announce the signings yet shouldn't be a problem.

Let the fans know the types of player they will be watching next year, instead of blindly expecting them to buy Gold membership after a woeful 2/3 of the current season.

on the topic of looking ahead think all we can luck forward to is defeat after defeat,then to be told where out of sl cos there is no way we will get a ground and a franchise,we are the worst run team in the whole of rugby league

You heard something that we all should now or just on a downer.

not heard nothing just i wont belive it will happen untill im stood/sat watching our first game then i will probally ask sombody to give me a big pinch to make sure im not dreaming

Are the club seeing sense and reducing the matchday price to 18 quid?

So you're agreeing that Colin Sanctuary is not giving them suitable conditioning for RL.

To answer the OP - we should be relegated in 2012 - we deserve nothing more

we need to get rid of coaches and most players, and that instabilioty is enouigh to ensure that next season will be just as successful as this one was. Championship here wecome, and there we belong

no there being over cooked.... over doing the fitness which is whats happening in turn makes them look tried making people think that there not fit enough its more down to the organisation and skills they need to work on and lay off the fitness.....

So he's not giving the correct conditioning for our SL players?

The work he's doing is not suitable ??

if you look at it like that yes but he does what hes told...........................................

So would he be ok at his job if he was working under a different coach?

Kear has already said the players are going to be worked harder then they have ever been in pre-season starting 1 Nov

The only thing I can see for next season ,unless we get in some quality players,is many more heavy defeats and ever reducing crowds.The players we are rumoured to have signed or being linked with not one of them fills me with any confidence.

not making excuses but how do you think the salford, quins, catalan and bradford who have been at the other end of the table feel, it doesn't me but then are you as fickle to change alliance

Well let's hope that they can work hard on basic skills that are taught to most kids at school, because that's what seems to be lacking.

I would suggest that if Kear is to keep his job, he could do a lot worse than spend the off-season watching videos of other sides to see what an easy game this is if you get the basic skills right.
Defensive structure
Quick passes
Running angles
Forwards coming on to the ball at pace

If we saw any of these next season I'd be much happier, basic skills that any coach worth his salt can see that we don't do.

Do you find that you don't get invited out very often?

I’ll be glad when this season is finally over, hopefully we’ll re-group in the off season and try to learn from where we went wrong this season. Hopefully we’ll have some good news on the stadium front.

Too many players are past their sell by dates. Age, illness and injuries have caught up with far too many players. Players coming in mid season from part-time rugby hasn’t helped either. We need to reduce the age of the squad, especially in the pack.

I’ve always been a fan of JK, but he’s been exposed badly this season, both tactically and coaching wise. Some of his team selections have been baffling. He needs to make his mind up whether he wants to stay at Wakefield or not. The Catalans situation and the Bradford rumours cannot have helped team morale.

Bright points of the season have been few and far between but Gledhill and Morton have shown promise. Morrison has been outstanding in a poor team.

Off the field, we’ve all been crying out for the club to become more professional. Community team does a fantastic job and should be applauded. The re-appointment of James Elston was a move in the right direction. However, we've a long way to go.
