Wakefield 60-6 Whitehaven: Kyle Amor's post-match reaction

Kyle Amor's side travelled to Yorkshire with hope rather than expectation, but the game played out the way many suspected, as Wakefield claimed a resounding 60-6 win. 

Edene Gebbie's try was just a consolation against a side that have now won 22 of their 23 games in the Betfred Championship this season. 

Following successive heavy losses against York and Wakefield, Haven have dropped back into the bottom two, with fellow relegation candidates Swinton Lions beating Featherstone Rovers 28-8.

There are now just three games of the season remaining, and while off-the-pitch issues are perhaps of the highest priority, Amor's side must better the results of Swinton or next weekend's opponents, Barrow Raiders, if they are to avoid dropping into League One. 

Following Sunday's heavy defeat, Amor had this to say: 

"We knew what we were coming up against. We rolled into this game with 15 [players] and they are a Super League side already. The coaching staff and playing group that they've got, with the owner that they've got, really does just separate them. They're in a different class. It was great to give them a guard of honour today for their efforts this season."

Before the game, Trinity owner Matt Ellis confirmed that ticket sales would be donated to Whitehaven as a gesture of goodwill, saying: "We would like to rally all Rugby fans within the local area and further to help in supporting Whitehaven in their current climate."

And Amor paid tribute to Ellis' generosity post-match, adding: 

"I want to pay credit to them for what they've done for us as a club in our hour of need. They didn't really have to do that. The ticket and donation money generated from today will probably tie us through until the end of the year. It's a real plus for Whitehaven RL. It allows us, probably, to finish the season now with what we've got. We will go again with our 15 players ahead of the Cumbrian derby. This is it."
