Wait? You've got 20 players off contract?



Did Pearson not see warrington last year with 15 off contract?

Rovers fans will constantly bring up his comment pre season about striving for top 4 or to win the league, and make fun of it.

I don't understand why. Every single team in the league, Wakefield included, are trying to finish top 4.

We've been absolute awful. Doesn't mean we wasn't ever trying to get top 4.

Disgusted with some of the abuse aimed at Hoy.

As you say, he was very good against Cas and Leeds and his stats speak for themselves.



People seem to forget that these guys are human beings and some of the vile things that have been said are completely out of order.



He's 23 who has moved to the other side of the world and i don't think people realise what a big change it is for these people.

I think it includes a handful of kids from the extensive fringes of their squad. But they do have a lot of experienced, more recognisable players OOC as well.

According to the HDM didn’t Tex say something along the lines of “ Rovers wouldn’t win a Derby whilst he was at FC”. Which if he did say that it was a very silly thing to say about any club.

Yes, the list is:



Adam Swift, Ligi Sao, Danny Houghton, Chris Satae, Andre Savelio, Brad Fash, Joe Lovodua, Joe Cator, Kane Evans, Cam Scott (one-year option), Ben McNamara, Connor Wynne (one-year option), Mitieli Vulikijapani (one-year option), Josh Griffin, Denive Balmforth, Jamie Shaul, Scott Taylor, Brad Dwyer, Kye Armstrong, Jude Ferreira.

I completely agree, and while I'll be there Good Friday, it could be our bleakest day since the 42-6 Cooke inspired Rovers hammering of us. We just look half hearted, hardly fit and with no playbook. I know that it is hard to be up for a job knowing you are getting fired but no sportsman I have ever known has ever not played for their own pride. This team are not top six material, we all knew that and that it would be a hard year, but I never imagined it would be this bad. I just hope they can have an honest review and own their pathetic displays with a view to actually trying against Rovers. That is all we have asked of them and what they owe themselves and the fans.

I had hoped we'd have kept Sao and Satae, both have been our best forwards for the last two seasons, but Ligi isn't showing anything and big Chris has been a shadow of what he was , even when we were getting hammered, he was a standout. Motu Tony has offered to help the club and I seriously hope we take him up on that offer, he signed some great players for us when he was the Football Manager and he will know some young guns that would jump at a chance to showcase their skill in SL.I thought Balmforth would have been given a shot, Danny Houghton is clearly a year too old and I hope we have Mitch on the wing against Rovers , as McIntosh needs taking out of the pressure for a while to help him regain his confidence, poor kid looks lost some times and it cannot be good for him, mentally, to be always called out.If Wynne has sorted his issues out, I'd keep him for a year but of the rest, Andre Savelio and Dwyer would be the only ones worth a punt, in my opinion.

Mcintosh hasn't been selected for the past 3 games. He's played for the reserves last couple of outings. That's his level imo.

How we need an Ellis type of player right now to lead from the front . Someone to inspire those around him .

JWH would be perfect

He'd be a start for sure ,Add a big second row in there also .

+1 on the criticism Hoy is getting. Turnstile Tex is doing just fine, and long may it continue. Gutted that he’s out next week, I suspect tactical after seeing abdulls kicks Friday night.

Hoy is safe under a high ball

I’m sure Hoy’s played against plenty of players who can kick a ball dead high & hope for the best.

Hasn’t played against a halfback that’s currently took 3 MOS points in every game that hes played the full 80 in this season though. Not bad for a player who can only kick a ball high and hope for the best. Thanks again for Abdull. Litten, Hodgson, Hadley, etc etc etc. All free of charge

What have those players ever actually won you?



Thanks for Kelly, and the Challenge Cup he brought us.



FYI, Litten will be back at Hull next year. So thank you in return for that.

You are just showing your ignorance about the value and skill in kicking. Its importance is recognised by people in the game but not obviously by you. Still we know what lies behind your post. Hurt and frustration.

Another great signing by Hodgson.

Signed as a wing for his speed yet he is not fast,so what he saw in him ill never know.

Maybe he was just comparing his pace with most of the other Fc plodders.

We have to hope Smith does a lot better as this large turnover of players and acquisitions is crucial.

get this wrong and the club lose several thousand of paying supporters for a long time

I think Salford would love to have most of those players, and make them look like superstars.

Challenge cup he brought you

you’d won it the year previous without him. You was a great side back then, there can’t be a team that’s dropped as far as you have in the same time period. Pure comedy.



Litten would require a fee as he’s signed up til 2025, something that you lot definitely aren’t capable of providing

More than likely he’ll be starting for us by 2025, and winning things, so doubt he’d want to play championship.

Goodness that's bitter. Holding onto such anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

He does seem happy with there MOS points though !!

Bitter?



Winning things and Championship may be wishful thinking but both are possible. What other things in the post were not true?



You seem to like the hyperbole when you want to respond but have nothing actually to add to a discussion.
