| Quote: vastman "What makes this over confidence even more ludicrous is that it totally ignores history. Give us a relegation decider and we are the best. Give us a game that might bring us some glory and our record over the past forty years has been truly abysmal. I may be wrong but we have only won once, the YC and that’s our only other final appearance as well.Two CCup semis, one of which was embarrassing. That’s it, it’s not like we have a recent history of success.
Bradford do, and although they are a shadow of what they were they at least have a culture of winning these kinds of games.
As a club we need to get back into the zone and actually get a hunger back for success, even modest success in this case.
If people think we are over that clitch think again. I know the weather played a biggish part but let’s be honest the CCup game against Fev was the one we seemed least prepared for this season. I don’t think anyone can deny that they were more up for it on the day. And that is typical of the last forty years.
Still, it will change eventually, so why not on Sunday, fingers crossed.
PS
They didn't win the 2015 Million Pound Game

| Quote: Dr Dreadnought "I thought it was poor of Powell to say this in a press conference, what he thinks about a player and his performance in a previous game should stay within the dressing room, no doubt he will have spoken to Lawford since the game telling him what he needs to do going forwards, and that should have been the end of it. He could've answered the question by saying that he went with Kaye because of his greater experience in big games.'"
I didn’t, it’s a man’s game and they need to be tough - he needs to take it on the chin, I’m all for it, a no blame culture is a losing culture. One proviso, is that is across the board, fairs fair.

I thought exactly the same, also I'm struggling to see which players were offside from the 2 kicks that were dropped by Bradford, although i would also admit there we a couple of "flat" passes from Wakefield that resulted in tries.
The 2nd half was total domination though and even the first 30 mins wasn't as strong for Bradford as the commentators on the radio were portraying, they only scored once plus a penalty in front of the sticks

I agree, there is a lot of positives to take from individual accountability and I also don`t think there is anything wrong with calling it out publicly, I think it creates a winning mentality, I mean we can all see it anyway. Powell has always done it but so have coaches like Wane. On the flipside I have heard DP is a really good man manger and makes a big effort to develop close relationships with each player, they will understand what is expected of them, he won`t just be calling them out out of the blue.

Said exactly same at game. Absolutely no wrap or attempt to wrap. Was shocked the ref ignored it.
Also agree about the offsides (especially the first one). Froze farm and all clearly on side. The commentator, trinity players were completely baffled by that and rightly so too. There was a lot of laying on too slowing down allowed too.
Again though the forwards rolled sleeves up and turned the engine room up. Class set of young forwards.

Yeah, I thought that watching it back, seemed like a shoulder charge but hard to see tbf and it happens quickly.
