A couple of weeks ago we put the situation in our own hands and I really like the way we’ve gone about things in the last month.<\/span><\/p>\n “We showed some of the Wakey spirit tonight. It’s frustrating that we’ve not been able to show more of it throughout the year, but doing it on our terms and with two games to go is really pleasing.<\/span><\/p>\n “There’s a tinge of relief and a bit of finality. We can start the planning process for next season with some confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n “We got a bit loose in the first half but fixed it up in the second half.”<\/span><\/p>\n Hull KR interim coach Danny McGuire:<\/strong><\/p>\n “I didn’t think we were great with the ball, we were really scratchy and didn’t challenge them enough, but defensively we were good. They scored two tries off kicks.<\/span><\/p>\n “I thought we showed bags of spirit and commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n “I’m disappointed because we’re all here to win. Everybody is feeling a bit down, but they’ve got to pick themselves up and do it again on Monday, which is crazy.”<\/span><\/p>\n Wakefield:<\/strong> Arona, Crowther, Bowden, Ashurst, Hall, Aydin, Miller, Lino, Murphy, Gaskell, Croft, Kershaw, Jowitt.<\/span><\/p>\n Interchanges:<\/em> Fifita, Kay, Shaw, Butler.<\/span><\/p>\n Hull KR:<\/strong> Lewis, Ryan, Keinhorst, Tate, Hall, Litten, Milnes, Storton, Parcell, King, Halton, Linnett, Minchella.<\/span><\/p>\n |
