Cant blame the fans DC, at that point we were at the bottom of a very deep ravine and the actions of Smith (Tim) and Locke, seemed to have us at our lowest ebb.
Brian Smith did have a decent record as coach and perhaps only you and he know the actual facts.
Forums are a hot bed of over reaction in both directions, overstating how good things are in the good times and utterly desperate when things aren't going to plan.
At the time I didn't think Chester was the man to put Trinity anywhere near where we currently are but, I'm more than happy to be wrong.
What does seem obvious now is that Trinity and Smith weren't right for each other.
All water under the bridge now and they say "never look back", which seems wholly appropriate.
Onwards and upwards and if we can ever sort the ground issue out, Wakefield would be the envy of much of the RL world.
Also worth remembering that most of the fans were right about Mr Agar  |

| Quote Adam_Harrison9="Adam_Harrison9"Followed since I am old enough to remember and I'm 25 now so possibly a good 15 years at a stretch.
I didn't say a top coach. Right a team with B. Tupou, A.Tupou, Arona, England, Johnstone, BJB, Simon, Annakin - you're telling me any coach from the championship wouldn't want to coach these players?
[uI wouldn't want Chester[/u and I'm not saying they can do better than Smith but I think some on here are really overrating Smith. Coaches don't always do well at certain clubs. Just because Smith did well at clubs with resources doesn't mean he would do well at Wakefield. Why would any coach stay at Batley/Dewsbury over a Super League club with the above players.
Smith didn't work miracles. He won a one off game against a team in a lower division. I don't think Smith did a particularly 'bad' job per say, but the reaction that people are having on here you'd think we wouldn't have only won 3 games all season last year (1 under smith, 2 under webster) against super league opposition.'"
Don't think I'll be putting this one on my CV 
The power of hindsight... |

| Quote try scorer="try scorer"I'm reading on here absolute rubish,carter ,kirmand, Scruton and Ben jones bishop hero worshipped by fans there high payed players and what ever our chairman pays himself I said a long time ago Mr carter tells lies, kirmand and Scruton are soft forwards particular Scruton but we make them captain and vice captain and I'm sure I said jones bishop can't catch high balls and is always out of position but yet tounges are out.Comon lads get realistic if we take cheap option Dickens, Gilmore, or chester then jobs over and don't think championship will be a walk in the park may be semi pros but these guys are hard lads and plenty of bottle which we lack I'm sure you'll agree'"
I think this one is my personal favourite, although eastern wildcat ran him close on page 5 |

Tbf, the lad's clearly posted that after a bottle of whiskey. I was probably sober. Well, maybe... |

certain clubs seem to attract these kinds of trouble makers,they seem to just lie dormant until the first sign of trouble then all of a sudden 4 or 5 will just appear from nowhere like scavengers.Strange people who would be better finding something else to do with their spare time

Apologies there Daddycool. I will eat some humble pie there, a very large piece.
It was pretty much straight after the event and in the heat of the moment.
Like someone earlier said, think a lot of the fans were very down at this point.
Hopefully we all and the club can keep looking at the here and now and take things even further, hopefully to that next level..

His post on page 2 is just as funny. You're the grim reaper apparently
One thing that is certain is that he's comfortably the worst poster on this forum. |

Thanks for the compliment there Jakey!
Is this because I'm not rose tinted on here like some, and not afraid to say what I think at the time.
If I am the worst poster on here then why did you waste your time trolling through the posts to find it and read It?
