| Quote chapster="chapster"one thought.................in hindsight was this the right game to do the 10 quid deal??
Salford as opposed to say wire in a fortnight???
give team 2 more weeks to bed in, bit more of a glamour fixture?
not having a go before im burned at the stake.........'"
IF I,m not mistaken, Wire in a fortnight is on sky so hope the lads gell in time for that one, cos after seeing wire take saints apart, it could look really bad to the RFL and their paymasters at Murdochland!!!

| We we never going to recover from a very poor start. You can't let any Super League club build up a 16 point lead.
We seriously couldn't handle Stefan Ratchford who was superb, Matty Smith made a bright start with Ray Cashmire bossing the forwards.
Many Wakey fans around me were all for staying to the end, clapping off the young lads for their effort but we desperately need that creative spark and class to provide an attacking option.
I know a few people have knocked Kevin Penny for his gaffs but I thought he always wanted the ball, and took it up quite well yesterday.
Chris Dean was very poor in defence however he was superb by all accounts in Catalans.
PJ dropped the ball 3 times in the 2nd half, all in either promising or dangerous positions. I can't knock the lad though, along with Paul King, he's our best forward.
I honestly believe that if we add about 4 experienced players then we will do ok - I think that's the best we can ask for.

I get this - but this is SL and is a pressure cooker environment. I'm just not sure that he has what is required at this level - based on what I've seen of him at our club. He is so like Paul White - again a willing tryer, but just didn't have that physicality at this level.
Suggested backline for next week:
Murphy, Johnson, Griffin, Dean, George, with Hanvey and Lee at HB and Rinaldi and Davey as Hooker. That would be risky, but could work IMO.

Agree - however it ain't just Kevin Penny who'd pulled on a Wakey shirt and just 'isn't good enough!'
Couldn't help a wry smile though near the end with the Salford fans singing 'There's only one Kevin Penny!'
I remember we used to sing that.......at Warrington!

| Quote Theboyem="Theboyem"He's a winger at wakefield, the ball isn't going to ever come anywhere near him. In our coaches setup what a winger needs to do is catch the ball, defend well and help the forwards out by coming in-field and making quick yards up the middle. He didn't do any of that. He cost us two tries from his handling errors alone. That in my book is a terrible game.'" think you are a bit unfair there mate. i'd agree with get em on side. penny came in fr loads of work and under the conditions wouldn't have expected wingers to see much ball and the coaching set up you refer to wasn't the coaching i saw at catalans and the ball was spread . the wingers did a great job. as for lee, i'd keep him partnered with hyde. thought they played well together. as for sundays game, thought we'd lost it in the first 10 mins, when we were caught cold. we always knew it wasn't going to be easy but i they keep giving the effort, i think we will surprise a few. we have already surprised a lot and we have only just started picking the pieces up from a shattered club and i am sure you know that together we are stronger.
