Really enjoyed that.

It's amazing what confidence can do.

Adding Gale means everyone knows what they are doing. Every player looks slightly better because the passing from both Gale and Dagger is crisp and accurate.
Jowitt looked good because he had fast ball to hands at full speed.
Atoni looks better because Gale is barking at him to tell him where to go.
I'd like to see Hugo back on the wing but Kershaw played well today and Lineham held his own against Burgess.

I don't know whether we'll survive but I'm enjoying watching them to find out.

Spot on TALLYWACKER,you've written just about the same as I was going to put.With Cas still having to come to BV,it's starting to get quite interesting!

I'd bet that not many Wakefield fans would reverse the swap now.

Ten games to go, six at home. We have Cas to play at home & this will be the crucial game. Shudds are not out of it as well & that is our next away game! At least it’s getting interesting

It would certainly add some considerable size out wide thats for sure…

Great win and the opposite of what I predicted (30-6 to the reds!)
One or two things spring up, where the hell has Hood been all season? he was superb yesterday!
Same with Atoni - the guy was running with purpose -in fact the whole team look a lot more confident and ABLE to play RL
the Dagger/Gale pairing seems to work - worth pursuing again I think!
It's surely no coincidence that all this has come with the arrival of Dave and the inclusion of Luke Gale - and what a masterstoke his signing has been - better late than never-should have had him at the start of the season.
IF we beat Wigan and it's a big IF I might start getting optimistic but for now at least, enjoying seeing some effort.

Last minute decision to get down to the game and boy was it the right decision. Thoroughly enjoyed the game, an all round team effort.

Another win and the pressure is on. Up the trin

Enjoyed the win but I reckon we need another 6 wins to stay up, tough ask even accounting for the upturn in form.

Think the reason we are moving the ball better is down to Gale coming to the club .Was impressed with the way he was barking out the orders from the first minutes of the match and did not stop .Pity we got him at the very end of is career .You could see why Castleford went so well when he was in is prime .As not change my mind about going down ,It took15 games to start playing any thing like rugby ,against Leeds, Beat Wigan and Huddersfield, and I could change my mind ,but at present think it is too little to late ,and shows what bad decision were were made by the club on recruitment ,at the beginning of the season

Absolutely not. He's the reason we have only won around 10% of the games this season and why we are languishing at the bottom of the table still four points adrift.

Well done lads a great team effort. Nearly passed out in shock when we created an overlap for the winger to score. I wish we could have done that when TJ or Murphy were playing

Lol. I see what I did now.
I of course meant Franco.

Though to be honest, Hugo looks like he can shift too.

It was clear to see what we had missed all season until Fifita and Gale arrived and that is leaders. Whilst I appreciate what Ashurst/Pitts etc do they are not vocal enough nor the personalities to be captains. Proctor albeit very experienced doesn't know the club and may not give the influence hoped. Fifita understands the club and has the personality to bring the best out (Probably helping Atoni with confidence too) and the way Gale shows and tells where to set up has made a huge difference and begs the question of what if had we brought Gale in in preseason as much as people disliked the idea.

Here's hoping things continue with the main focus on trying to win as many home games as possible now we have 2 in a row

A good performance all round.

Even the usual suspects who have, in the past, been criticised, and rightly so, all stood up and played their part.

My son mentioned after the game, that given the way Huddersfield are struggling, that if we were to turn them over in 2 weeks, then they could easily get sucked in.

That's confidence, I told him to take it one game at a time

Superb effort from the boys last night.
Salford had a few bodies missing but, we pretty much dominated for the full 80 minutes.
Fifita was superb but, Battye certainly put a shift in and Atoni actually looks like a SL prop now. Fifita seems to have brought out the best in him and long may it continue.
Gale was immense but, there has to be a big shout out for Dagger.
Many, including myself, were horrified when we swapped Hall for Dagger but, I actually think that we may have done some shrewd business.
The lad has played in most positions in our backs in the last couple of months and he's been good in all of them.

If we can beat Cas at home, its game on for survival, something that looked impossible a few weeks ago.

Shudds away looks like being a huge game for us

A much needed win off the back of a good performance, Salford were missing some quality but we can only do the job asked of us and we did it well

Excellent performance from 1-17....even the much maligned players stood up and all of them put in a good shift including Hood (his best game for us so far IMO), Lineham and Lyne too, but can I say a huge thank you to Saints for loaning us Alex Walmsley for the evening but despite Trin's best efforts at hiding him in Atoni's shirt we could still see it was him from the way he played




The guy was outstanding.....Have we found the new Tanginoa ??

We almost got over a few more times and made a few breaks down field. The performance was pretty good and it was an entertaining game until Fifita got sent then it kind of petered out.

Great to see that most of the tries were created some distance from the line and not the usual forward barging over the line from the 10m line. Some great breaks during the game and Max Jowitt showing just what a class full back he is. Hood's best game since the trouncing of Cas last season. The addition of Dagger, Gale and the return of Big Dave have been really inspirational moves. There seemed to be an air of "We're all in this together lads". There may still be a glimmer of hope.

One of the pleasing things was seeing a fully committed and strong defence. Everyone moved up and everyone really put 100% into every tackle. It was very pleasing to see the effort and application of every single player. Added in with a pretty good execution we looked what I would say a ‘well drilled’ team.

Fifita leadership, Max coming back, Dagger playing well at 6 and Mash simplifying the game plan have all helped us these past few weeks.
But ultimately for me, Gale is the difference to us suddenly playing fast open rugby.
From being a confused rabble, the same players are running good lines with confidence.
Getting a pass to hands so you don't have to check your speed suddenly gives everyone room. Max in particular benefitted from this.
Gale never stopped shouting telling Atoni where to stand and even calling Kershaw over from the far wing to take the ball in when some players were struggling.
And even the simple stuff like putting the ball in touch when we needed a second to regroup.
He defended well too but we need to protect him as he'll be targeted now we've shown our hand.

It was nice to see moves that consisted of more than just one pass, I think we scored from the first.

Actually thought Lineham played well yesterday, some hard runs.

Great to see the comments before the game ,it’s almost if our own fans want us to lose to, to prove their point . Dagger in the half’s , Kaye at loose , their both becoming outstanding utility players who can cover a multitude of positions with aplomb, and something that our club are finding indispensable in our small squad . Roll on Wigan I say next Fri ,prefer Sundays but Fridays are fine with me if we continue to play like that . Atoni finally showing some form , Hood having his best game this season , dagger having a wow and all orchestrated by Gale who rolled back the years and showed Sneed how it’s done . 1-17 take a bow that was a cracker and told Mash so when I bumped into him in marks n sparks this morning . Long long way to go but we might just nick it and will certainly do ourselves no harm playing like that .

I gave my face a smack, I thought I was watching Billy Conway scampering away then realised it was Hood. Atoni. WFT!! Where has it been.
Take a bow Luke Gale.
