You missed out Batchelor and Tanganoa's ball spills.

tbh can’t believe that tanginoa is same guy that was playing for us a couple years ago , apologies for not mentioning the spilled balls but in my defence I only had 5 minutes to do the text and I d have needed an hour to get all the mistakes and cock ups in .

Right now, we're not in a relegation battle, we ARE going down.
We've lost against the 2 other worst sides in the comp in consecutive weeks and Toulouse are improving.
We are going backwards at a rate of knots.

It's just depressing and quite frankly, there are better things to spend time and money on .

Apart from Cory Hall, all of our signings have been worse than the players who they have replaced.

Worrying times indeed.

I know you've not been down to the ground for some time, but I have to tell you Chester has been gone for a while now, as you rightly say the club must shoulder the responsibility for allowing him to recruit the players if indeed it was him, the problem though is the here and now and not keep on recriminating what's gone on in the past, there's plenty going on at the moment for you to sink your teeth into without regurgitating old pointless news, try being a bit more positive and less obstructive for once and get behind the club, I'm sure that whether they get things right or wrong they'll be trying to put things right as best they can.

Chester as been away from the club for a while ,but not before he did more damage for this season with signing more garbage to go with the rest over the last 3 year He was quiet happy to let 4 or 5 players carry the the team and let the other positions on the field rot away .Mr Carter said he did not no a lot about R L when he took over and put is trust in is Coach . No you say do not keep going over old news.,but that is why I think we are going down .The team wants a good overhall but because of long contracts to old players it impossible to do .The damage started in the past and that's bottom line.

Just correct you on one thing - we are actually THE worst team in SL
Toulouse play far better rugby than we do.

Cant argue with that.
We are above Toulouse but, you are right, they are playing better rugby than we ate at present.
Not too much in it last week though and a drop in "form" from them and an improvement from us, would see that position change.

Having said that, it's difficult to see how we change our fortunes around but, if we want to stay in SL, we have to make some changes and quick.

Nail on the head here squire, so why keep bringing it up at every opportunity, he's gone and no amount of moaning is going to alter things, maybe when he signed those players he did not know he was leaving who knows or really cares, the damage is done, it might be that Pochings not the answer, who knows, You say the damage started in the past and before I go any further let me say I don't disagree with you but we could go back to Agar or Webster but apparently the buck stops at Chester, mistakes have been made, but the answer is not in recriminations, but what happens in the future, were all Wakey fans, aren't we, we all know what's needed no more so than the management and after the efforts they've put in these last few years they won't want that to be in vain, you've seen things far worse than what they are at the moment, why not give them a chance to put things right.

I know it's only speculation at the moment, but assuming the make up of Super League 1 & 2 is decided next year and is implemented in 2024,has anyone any idea what the mechanics of it might be?
How would the funding cake be split between the 2 leagues?
What would the share of televised matches be?
Is it a Super League and Championship under another name?

Re: Relegation Thoughts : Sat May 21, 2022 12:55 pm  

Something I forgot - would there be promotion and relegation?

Re: Relegation Thoughts : Sat May 21, 2022 5:23 pm  

Yes he saved the club and put light bulbs in the toilet apparently but he has also been in control during a period of steady decline to a point where we are favourites even amongst the Wakefield supporters for relegation. It can be argued that like the coach we kept some of the players too long and replaced others with players that look more financially based rather than squad improvement.
I have been told not to look backwards I regret that looking forwards does not appear any better.

Re: Relegation Thoughts : Sat May 21, 2022 5:41 pm  

you seem to take a great deal of satisfaction with the situation we are in scarlet and having a go at MC who has turned the finances of the club actually saved it, the decisions on the players brought in and let go are at question but can be remedied
whether we can get these players to actually play together is the problem, its them you should be having a go at
