Well said bazzo - the rumour originated from a Cas shareholder on their other, more eccentric forum; he posts under the name 'Gloria' but lots of people refer to him as 'Robbo.'

If I were Mr Glover, I might be tempted to give Mr Fulton a call and ask him to intercede.

I look forward to the day when we stop being the team that struggling/losing/poor teams can get back on track against.

For what its worth I blame Paddy Power for last night, offering any new account a £50 bet on Wakefield, they new the result before we did ?

Aye they've been paid alright, its just win bonuses that are lacking.

I was at a wedding and watched the match on SKY. A few observations from a concerned supporter.

1. Southern seems to have what resembles a beer belly for a 2012 Super League full time professional it is unacceptable. He is not on the pitch enough and although can tackle seems to do little else. When you're team is playing POOR like they did last night then its the captain and other experienced players that should come to the fore but Southern wasn't even on the pitch if he was then he hid.

2. Aiton does not run from dummy half anywhere near enough and thats how London got a roll on sometimes from dummy half runs. When aiton did run from dummy half he created gaps. We're also not turning players onto their back enough to slow the play the ball down.

3. As for defending kicks Fox was isolated under the high ball and appeared to be weak in that area with a standing jump. There should be the centres/second row blocking runners and giving the wingers protection. Cockayne dropped a high ball for a try aswell.

4. We also seemed to play with absolutely no structure/composure and played worse in the second half than the first. Going sideways and then throwing the ball into touch or an aimless kick with no runners or kicking the ball out on the full or knocking on in a hurried play (thought off the top of the head seconds before).

This is very concerning, what did R.A. say at half time? And if they didn't listen to the game plan then he should have used his remaining interchanges just to make a point to those key pivots calling the shots for WTW and taken them off. They were worse in the second half.

5. If there is little or no improvement against Cas then there must be some changes around the ruck area and subject to injuries this must include consideration of Andy Ellis at hooker with Aiton to loose forward, give Trout, Walshaw and James a run and Washbrook on the bench.

Just as some people were getting carried away after the Wire and Catalans games, some people are over-reacting after one shocking performance last night. If we have 3 or 4 in a row i'll start to worry but it's too early for doom and glooming just yet

Watched Andy Ellis play yesterday and he still didn't look 100%, the guy is awesome when fully back to match fitness.

Bren2K can i suggest you get your facts right the post is not from gloria it is from someone who since sept 2010 has only posted a total of 41 times Gloria hasn't even commented and as the boyem has posted he will confirm that for you.

Actually Bren2K is correct, 'Gloria' posted this before the other guy...

Some serious rumours coming out that Wakefield players are a month behind with wages![/i

Not that it matters as its a load of rubbish.

You'll find the clue if you look hard enough, think about an account thats not used very often but delivered this message, the very same message that Gloria posted



People with multiple usernames always slip up.

And yes its a load of rubbish.

apologies to bren2k I read it on a post from some numpty who only post occasionally but you can guarantee that everything he posts it tripe.

I very rarely read the board in question it is full of fools who put 2 and 2 together and come up with 52. I once posted that if I won the lottery I would pay for Billy Slater to pay for Cas, not two days later one of them posted a rumor that we were signing him this was about 2 years ago and since then anything on their is taken with a bag of salt never mind a pinch.

The internet forums are wonderful tools for genuine fans of the game to discuss the games and players etc but i just wish people wouldn't read something then add something on then start scare mongering

Totally agree - that's why I didn't do it.

Morton back for a Cas derby? Have you forgotten about the last time he played in a derby.

He was all right for the first 79mins and 50 seconds

Didn't he get the ball ripped out when bringing it away from his posts for their first try. Morton is not SL quality end of.

that was a 50/50 call on another day we would have got a pen

But no way would I drop Fox for Morton at the end of the day Fox is not the best on kick defence but his centre and 2nd rower could and should have done more as well
Fox has the pace to win any game if only he had a decent centre to feed him same old story at Wakey decent wingers poor centres

Well, we didn't get off to the best start - couple of dicey calls, silly errors (kicking out on the full) and unlucky bounces of the ball and before we know it we are 20-0 down. Add to that London are a fairly handy outfit and certainly have a nice mix of experience and youthful exuberance (2 young lads who looked tremendous prospects in the outside backs) plus our apparent inability to defend kicks and its game over at half time.

We've gone down there before with better players and been beat by much worse London sides so while its very disappointing its not entirely surprising. Inconsistency has been our middle name for years so it shouldnt come as too much of a shock.

The real test of how much the players want it is this Friday night......

that's not relevant though is it? this is a new side. why would they have a hang up?

Yes

If it's any consolation, and I realise it probably isn't;
a) I've seen us tonked like that more than I care to remember,
b) We've been shafted by Ganson more than I care to remember.
Incidentally on that second one, before anyone jumps all over me, no I'm not justifying Ganson's reffing at all. He shouldn't favour anyone, he should be nuetral and consistent. But who's ever seen Ganson ref in a nuetral and consistent manner?

Anyway, enjoy the rest of the season.

Cos we are Wakefield Trinity, and inconsistency is what we do.

We've had better groups of players than this beaten by worse outfits than London like this weekend, and on the back of beating much better opposition the week before.

Just watched Wigan v Saints; Gareth Hock gives Josh Perry a clip round the ear, then takes FIVE steps forward before playing the ball - Mr Ganson remains unmoved and actually awards Hock a penalty when Perry returns the b*tch-slap.

Un-fricking-believable.

Lol if you'd watched it closer you would have realised that Ganson wasn't even the ref.

At one point though I did think Bentham was going to penalise Wigan again and again until Saints scored.

It is hard to believe cos Ganson did not ref it




Stupid call by Mr BENTHAM but to be fair it was no2 of the day, the first after warning Finch after repeated pens only to see Finch himself high shot and give away a penaly, so much for the warning.

Got a bit excited and mixed up my idiots.



Still, Raleigh takes 1 step sideways and is penalised; Hock takes 5 steps forward and it's fine. I just don't get it.

Getting tense about tonight - it's making me twitchy.
