I remember about 2 years ago at the John Smith's stadium English scored against us. Even though he was a young lad he clearly had a quite arrogant, anti-Wakefield sentiment in his celebration gestures and posture towards our fans. I understand that he originates from the Wakey area but he never grew up as a fan of our club. If he has such a chip on his shoulder about our club I don't want him anywhere near us.

No doubting his talent but I'm a little bitter like that and remember players arrogance and vulgarness. It is not good for building the dressing room.

I remember another Wakefield lad enjoying goading the Wakefield fans when he played for Hull F.C.












I wonder where he is now, oh yes, only the Wakefield coach.

Absolutely bang on.
The job is certainly not done yet and with Warrington's excellent win against Saints yesterday, our fixture over there looks a whole lot more difficult.
It could still come down to a last day shoot out with London, although point's difference is still our favour.
Beating Wigan right now looks a very tall order, they seem to be in play off mode already.

I cant even decide who to cheer for in the KR v London game - it's all very, very tight.

Funny but i don’t see it that way. I think Warrington winning gives us a much better chance. It an after the Lord Mayors parade kind of thing. Warrington are a good team but I’m not sure they have that winning mentality to rise again so soon after such an unexpected win.

If we get stuck in I’m not sure they will be fully recovered from their heroics to be fully up for it. It’s happened before.

Exactly my feelings about English.

I’ve met Matty and had a good conversation with him about his time on loan at dewsbury with Jordan and how good it was to see both getting their chances at first team level. He came across as a very level headed, polite young man who didn’t seem to have a nasty bone in his body so I’m afraid I’m going to have to disagree with you on this one.

You weren't at the Shudds game in question then?

Will have been but don’t recall the incident, I can only take someone on face value, which is what I tend to do with people, hence why I have a lot of differences of view on certain people.

Honestly, if you were there and was watching his post try antics it would not be easily forgot. Might be in archives somewhere.

He had just scored a try v a team who told him he wasnt good enough..how would you react. Not sure where he was brought up but he went to outwood school and when you watch shudds play he tends to do well

Re: Last 3 games 2019. : Mon Aug 26, 2019 7:11 am  

What do you want him to do? Be like one of those sap footballers who doesn’t celebrate scoring a goal for attention?

Youngster gets a bit carried away when he scores against local side. Not really a story here is there?

He did no celebration whatsoever in front of his own fans. He ran across to the Wakefield fans and gave an up yours. Had it been football then the fans would probably have reacted to goading of that level.
Anyway, Shudds are welcome to him. Until the subject was brought up he meant nothing to me other than a guy with chubby white legs and no respect for our fans. I wouldn't expect him to be so two faced as to want to join our team.

Personally I don't know him
But I'll probably make my judgement on how he played if he ever comes to us.

In the meantime I'm unlikely to judge a young lad on one flash point incident where he made a gesture in the general direction of a crowd of people.
He probably doesn't even remember it and if he does may even regret it.
I'm pretty sure either way it wasn't personal.

Wakefield fans are hardly charitable towards opposition players are they. Why is it such a trauma when they give us one back?
