So, did Gresque play? Sounds like Wakey weren't at their best. When I heard Vagana was sent off, I though wakey would run em down, but they didn't.
Yes, Maxime Greseque did play. But not at his natural positions of scrum half or five eighth. Because the Wakefield hooker Sam Obst was injured early in the game, the coach decided that he had to use Maxime as hooker. I have only seen ten minutes of video highlights, leading up to tries, where he did nothing especially good or bad.
According to Wakefield fans on another forum Maxime did some good field kicks, but he also gave away two penalties for high tackles. In the video excerpts that I saw Maxime was the victim of the rampaging Joe Vagana's arm in the face which put Maxime down on the ground and led to Vagana being sent off just before half time. However after medical treatment Maxime continued to play.
It is amazing that Wakefield could not prevail with an extra man for the entire second half. But it was clear from what I saw that Wakey were not at a good enough fitness level. In one Bradford try the Bulls even had a two man overlap!
The Wakefield forum fans want Ben Jeffries dropped and Maxime Greseque given a chance in the halves.
