Under-pressure Mark Applegarth insists winless Wakefield will turn the corner despite a “cruel” golden-point defeat.
Salford’s Marc Sneyd struck a 85th minute drop goal to break Trinity hearts as they fell to a fifth successive defeat. The relegation favourites looked capable of finally breaking their duck only to suffer yet more heartache. Rookie head coach Applegarth is still seeking his elusive first victory.
He said: “It stings. We gave them just one pressure release with a forward pass in extra-time and that’s how cruel this game can be. With a kicker of Sneyd’s quality, you will get punished. It’s a little bit of (lack of) smarts from us but I’m really proud of the effort.
