Wakefield Trinity • 3 on the bounce

What you say about the pivots is correct, there has been a complete lack of creativity. But to say the forwards have been making over 100 meters is just wrong. Whitbread has been our best by a mile, hit a 100 once and near as damn it one other time. Battye hit 100 against Leeds, before that he hadn’t got anywhere close. Nobody else up front has got near in any game. The backs have made good meters on our exit sets but the forwards not so much in the middle of the park when setting up position. We are bottom of the meters made table, bottom of the average gain table and also the tackle bust stats. The go forward just isn’t there. We regularly lose the ruck when we eventually get into good ball resulting in a slow play the ball giving less time and space for any creative play. Defensively the forwards have been ok no doubt it but with the ball much less effective.
