Yes we're really missing a decent goal kicker, missed a few sitters tonight, can't afford to do that.

Thought Cas were laking tomorrow

Not with that brain cell.

I know but the standard of troll is so disappointingly low.

What an eventful night, but I will concentrate on the rugby and nothing else.

3 try's conceded in the same manner is absolutely crazy. Once is excusable, twice is worrying but three times is pathetic.

As for goal kicking....well, I don't know what to say apart from that you are a kicker or you are not. You can not make someone a kicker who was not blessed with the ability. Issac John is definitely not a kicker and never will be. I am not sure what warrants his selection in the team at the moment either as he does not offer as much Kyle Wood or Tim Smith. I did not see what triggered off Tim Smith tonight, but at least he was one of a small number who showed hunger tonight.

Think BJ will think twice before pi$$ing off Smith again!

Was it BJ who he went for?

What a complete load of crap. No kicker, no gamemaker, Aiton can't pass the ball. Top 8 finish ? You must be having a laugh.

We should have been out of reach by half time, but were let down by our half backs again. Neither Smith or John are showing any creativity to unlock defences. Thought we missed Amor tonight, and I still don't get the attraction to Kyle Wood, he seems to run around a lot but lacks any real substance. Kirmond, Cockayne and Mathers were the three top performers for me.

got rid a decent goal kicker, with a great kicking game to make way for John, which based on what he is producing is bizaare.

My take on the game...

First half...

Overall we looked a far better team and there were many breaks and half chances that were crying to be finished off. Bradford failed to create the same chances and ultimately came out ahead by a stray pass and a soft try.

The possession, yards made were all in wakefields favour but sadly the finishing touch was not there.

Second half...

I thought we were still the more adventurous team of the two but yet again, no finishing touch. A few decisions that ultimatelly could have ended in scores. The discipline was a worry and although Bradford to me didn't look as good they were certainly smarter...

Their players capitalised well from many a penalty gifted. Jeffries kicking was very intelligent and precise at a few points and the poor positioning and on the flip good positioning from bulls caught us out time again.

Bradford looked unlikely to break the defence but just played smarter.

Also one area I think bulls did well was from dummy half, countless times they weaved out then behind our markers for a good 10-15 yards.. This should have been addressed at half time and wasn't.

Now.. Let's be realistic. We are 3 games in and have a game in hand. We have a new team but this excuse can only hold so long. The skills on show and plays/structure are superior to last year but there needs to be some more composure. We are in no ways in a panic station on the indicators are there we can hit a gear we got nowhere near last year.

So although it was dissappointing let's back the team for a while yet. It's a long season and just started,

Very disappointing especially in defending kicks.John looks way out of his depth and not ready for this level of the game and he certainly is not a goal kicker.Also Collis needs to realise he has a winger on the outside as he never looks to pass and is far too greedy.Dulls got everything in second half and made the most of it but the refacing was abysmal at best.

Reffing

Hyde?

Lovely.

Dreadful in defense and attack and to go into the season without a recognised goal kicker is total ineptitude.Sorry but when you compare this squad with what we had last year,that was a new low tonight.

Moore. However, at Hull KR home last year pretty sure Hyde got his conversions as Griffin was poor.

Three games in and I still haven't seen Mellars make a pass.

To be honest I HEARD a few of your fans slagging off Tim Smith and saying that he got a good seeing too by Jon Bateman...lovely on both parts! Tim Smith is a lovely lad normally, it's just his other personality that gets a little upset from time to time....

I am sure the same was said about a certain Ryan Atkins.....

Thoughts?

1. Like against Hull KR, we struggled to convert pressure into points. Like getting a pint with too much froth. Lot of activity but you don't get the full measure.
2. The lack of a kicker is a real problem. We ran every penalty, and some were kickable, which would have kept the scoreboard ticking over.
3. We are going to get kicked to death this year now. I think only one try came from a Bradford pass.
4. Had the interception not been taken, Mathers was away, and at a time when Bradford were a poor second. Might have been a different game. On small things games turn.
5. Bulls deserved it over the full 80.
6. That was BJ's "good game". He'll be quiet for a while now.

That makes 2 greedy centres then but sure he put pass in second half when cockayne nearly scored

We were crap and the ref was trying to show he wasn't biased towards his hometown club!

Idiot...take the sweet
