That's true it was very poor but that still doesn't mean that the fixture isn't exactly as I described above, just that they didn't execute it.
By now anyway people should it's never the style of McDermott (or GH) to do heavy public criticism in press conferences and leave it to behind closed doors. He said after the season that he knew we had problems way more serious than they thought after the loss to HKR around Easter.....but at the time his public comments were still of staying calm and still thinking we could make the top 4.

Because he and the players don't set the ticket prices. The guy even said last year that he'd prefer not to play on Boxing Day so I'm not going to act all shocked by what he said this year.

It doesn't matter how good you are, if your decision is to run it yourself or pass to someone stood still, then the defence will never really be troubled.
Completely agree with this they didn't even have a basic 1 in 1 out the back option it was just going sideways or 1 up the middle.

So what the hell have they been doing in training these past few months? Cutherbertson says fitness training but I didn't see much fitness on display. Wakey carved the defence to pieces...

Read Ablett harping on about systems and tactics that were being worked on. We scored 6 and leaked 30.......

It's how Wakefield scored some of those try's.
Back to the dark days of grasping at air and shirt tails from last year.
Kudos to Wakey, they realised Ablett was MIA, tasted blood in the water and mercilessly went for him. Absolute turnstyle at times.
As for working on tactics? Isn't that what the training ground is for? Looked like total strangers at times.
Sutty running it into touch, wheeling round and eyeballing a bemused Briscoe was classic "Head up the anus" play and he wasn't alone, Leeds stank the place out.

I honestly think there's a little bit of the younger players been overawed sometime by some of the senior players and don't feel able to boss them about etc

They're told to listen to the senior players mate but yea i agree they certainly aren't/were'nt getting "lead" anywhere or given a structure they are comfortable with.
