It seems that the Leeds, Wakey event was an open training session , not an actual match

embarrassing comment from a coach who is fast becoming, well, embarressing

Makes me wonder why coaches agree to SL friendlies if they're just gonna field kids

because that what friendlies are for! giving your whole squad a run out!

And the Leeds apologists arrive as normal. Leeds had a strong side out, not kids. It wasn't their strongest 17 but it wasn't Wakefield either however both outfits were of SL quality.

Makes me laugh these kids are meant to be some of the best in SL or is that only when they are winning.

Bet if the result were reversed it wouldn't be a training game!

Still wakey never win on merit so what's new - do we have a chip on our shoulder, he'll yeah.

Fair dos! But at least co-ordinate between coaches otherwise it's just too one-sided. Like today at Cas, doesn't help those academy kids who just got a pasting.

No-one, but Vastman has a chip on his shoulder about this sort of stuff - when he thinks people don't give Wakefield enough credit (after 1 friendly match, of course)

Maybe it would be fairer to point out the context of the event prior to kick off , or preferably prior to selling tickets for it ?

If that is of course what it actually was ?
