Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Yes progress has been made but you have to maintain that progress and Wakey have failed to do that. Lets face it Wakefield in the super eights have been a disgrace.

Hope the rebranding of the club's name and reverting to the traditional badge heralds a new successful era in the club's proud history.

Quote ="vastman"People are very critical about the team not performing and rightly so but then neither are the fans.
I personally lost interest in this season after the CCup semi final and I don't think I'm alone.
TBH I think everyone at the club will be happy to see the end of this season which seems to have gone on for an age.
Good news is I can't wait for next season and will be buying my first season ticket for years as I feel very optimistic. I think or hope the team feels the same as certain players head for their peak next season.
The back line looks fantastic with cool hand Jowitt at FB and some real pace in CB and BJB and an ever rising star in TJ.
The H/B's need some work reinforcements.
The pack with the return of England and Ashurst from injury along withe the signing of Hirst will see a bit bore size added, If we keep Fafita and get him really fit then thats three big front rowers to start with. Ditto if we can get Kirmond and Tupou fit then that helps and Sio make L/F his home then great. Arona and Simon add depth.
We need another hooker as to support Moore but with the likes of Anderson and a few others departing it's all possible.
I see 8th spot again but with perhaps a bit more presence in the play offs etc.
One investment we must make is on a better fitness regime - we started fit thanks to Brian Smith son but Clarkson yet again failed to maintain it as far as I can see. We can't afford the best players in the world but fitness is the one thing any team can achieve if they so desire at a relatively small cost - that needs to be our big weapon next season as it was for a while this season - if we can't play them off the park we can at least force them to play for 80 ">minutes.'"
Agree with just about all that. Against Catalans, although it didn't matter in the grand scheme of things, it was just so unbelievably frustrating to watch and it would have been nice to finally get a win. Like you & others say, a new Fitness Coach is a must . You could even go as far as saying, getting the right one would rank as being one of the most important signing we make next season. Clawson's been here a fair while now and it's time for him to move on and let someone who knows what they're doing get the gig.

If Clawson is still our Conditioner it won't matter who we sign, we will struggle. We need to push the boat out on getting a top replacement

Yes we definately need to sort this out.
Maybe JK can help on this though too. With the wealth of exprerience in the game he will have a lot of contacts.
Also Hull KR have trained longer hours than what we did. Maybe Tim Sheens will have his contacts and may want to move Hull KRs backroom staff along

The attendance on Friday probably gives you an indication of how many season ticket holders we have.
As has been pointed out, we can sign who we want but if the fitness isn't there, it won't make a blind bit of difference how good they are.
Caton-Brown looked class against Leigh, I hope we don't ruin him.
