it was in the Hudds examiner on the 15/2/2011!! very old news!! fish and chip wrappers now me thinks!!!

Excellent response from the club.

Red Top Journalism at it's worst.

Even worse - aspirant red top journalism, executed without any of the guile or skill that the best journalists employ, even when producing trashy stories.



Shame on the editor, for allowing an anti-Wakefield culture to develop at a Wakefield paper.

Let's not get hoodwinked by the WE or their current editor, this is not about some moral crusade to secure justice for the young girl who's been assaulted nor is it about offering fair and balanced reporting of positive and negative news. This is about splashing sensationalist news with emotive headlines and shocking images on the front page in an attempt to sell as many papers off the back of it as they can.



They've done so without a single thought of the potential damage done to Wakefield Trinity in a week when they could have done a great deal to repair some of the damage they've done to their relationship with the club.



They've possibly prejudiced the case against the player but they have certainly made his position at the club almost untenable.

If proven guilty he'll get what he deserves and should suffer the full gambit of consequences for his actions there's no doubt about that.



This latest attempt by the editor to justify what they've printed is a little bit sickening IMO! He's got it wrong on all counts this week and in doing so he's revealed his true colours!



This particular headline is the latest news story in a long list of stories that seem to be anti-Wakefield Trinity. Many people have questioned the WE and their anti WT stance for a number of years and this story removes any doubt about their position on where they pitch their level of support or lack of it for the club!



Set in that context it's clear that someone at the helm of the WE is either anti WT or anti RL at their core, the anti stance seems to have coincided with a lean toward Leeds Utd which suggests I'm right on this. This also seems to have happened at the same time that the WE has largely been moved out of the City, I would not be surprised to find out that these decisions are being made by people with zero affinity to the City of Wakefield.



Whatever the reasons this (cough) newspaper no longer reflects the mood of the city and merely runs stories that seem to come from the 'idiots Guide to publishing local news stories'.



I hav'nt bought this paper now for a few years but do read it at my mothers house so my not buying it is no loss them but I suspect there will be a sharp fall in revenue across the board and that might force a change of positioning and personell.

In a week when they should have been looking for a 1-2-1 interview with Mr Glover, a big feature on the monumental display v Catalans, the £10 offer for Sunday, and the dreams and vision of exiting administration, there are many things that they could have done, but no. Poor showing I'm afraid. Any local radio stations fancy exclusives from now instead?

I have always wondered why a so called local newspaper 'Wakefield Express' puts so much coverage into LEEDS UTD football and less into the most successful professional team in Wakefield?

Never again will I buy this drivel until somethings changed, the editors response on FB is a load of tripe, I encourage anyone who uses the site or newspaper to advertise their business in there to cancel and make sure you let them know and also encourage friends and family to do the same, if this is the way that rag treats us fir giving them every exclusive at the club then just stop giving them news and ban their hacks from the ground and give them nothing.

To add insult to injury they have got pictures Josh Griffin and Kyle Amor mixed up as well in the sport section

loving the new pro-active on the ball approach by the club just hope i get a reply from my e-mail

they know nothing
