I'd just love to know who this mythical team is that we expect to lay down and die. Of course Leigh were going to come back, we do or are we the only ones entitled?

Yes we helped them a bit but credit to them they played well for a while, why wouldn't they.

Personally I don't get the need to comment half way through a game - whats the point - take a game at any given point and it will look entirely different to the final outcome. Thats why you end up looking silly. RL is highly unpredictable, especially this year and we are one of the main reasons and long may it continue. Also a bit of loyalty wouldn't go a miss.

And right on time the Diane Abbott of the forum arrives.

Very few sides put together 1 80 minute performance let alone a succession that would warrant consistency.
I'm happy where we are, yes we make a lot of mistakes at crucial times, but there are sides with much higher salary cap spends than us that also make the same/similar mistakes.
When it doesn't frustrate and get you in the guts it's time to pack in.
Keep on being passionate and as the old adage goes - aim for the stars and maybe you will reach the moon.

After letting the dust settle, after a great spectacle of 2 teams desperate for the win and 2 points for different reasons,

Firstly enjoyed the Leigh experience, nice stadium, good facilities outside ground, they are putting in the effort for local community, Wakefield Council take note!!!!!

To the game, great start, Leigh were only ever in that game due to silly errors, Finn was OUTSTANDING!! Fafita, Kirmond, Topu, Huby standouts, Leigh threw it away letting their adrenaline get the better of their heads when they fought back. They tried to bully and thug the last quarter of game but it backfired, our backs were to quick at times

Arona had a stinker, but to his credit took in some hard carrys in last 20 mins along with Huby when needed,
Our very weak area was the high ball onto arundle and MCB wing to which they were aweful, on 5th play Hampshire spotted it and they had us over a barrel identifing our real only stand out weakness, that needs to be worked on or we will be punished more in that area by better teams

We showed good fitness in a very physical game to be the strongest side by far at 75 mins

Can't wait for magic, as Wigan have Warrington , we beat Widnes results go our way 5 place is ours.

Well done to all 17 of team for great effort, this was big win. Finally well done to all that travelled, great voice alway through the game, we out sang the Leigh!!! Quality support for those who travelled, great Sat night.

One of the main reasons we got back on track in the second half was Liam Finn, superb throughout but steadied the ship when momentum went back our way. Great player to have in your squad, two more points towards a top six place, onwards and upwards! #positive

That's certainly one thing that cannot be questioned.
They work hard, they up...but they are honest and punch above their weight every week (except Leeds at home.)
I can live with that.

You must have a really hard time following Leigh Centurions then.

Hypocrit!

Great post and spot on!

Course they have a right to an opinion whether it be positive or negetive I never said they couldn't, what I said was that =#FF0000[uSOME[/u people confuse an opinion with criticism, a bit like you really saying that your entitled to rubbish my point including a bit of childish sarcasm but I'm apparently not allowed my opinion, you've clearly a lot of bitterness in you which you need to rid yourself of.

Erm what? You suggested people shouldn't express an opinion if it's negative fella.

"try working on the basis that if I've nothing good to say I'll keep my gob shut and not be negative".

P.s criticism is an opinion. It's nothing to do with a guise. Please state where I did say you couldn't have an opinion? Me giving a retort to what you put isn't doing that. Think you're getting your wires crossed. I'm defending the right for people to post what they like positive/negative. You were suggesting people shouldn't post anything negative. Big difference pal.

What I suggested was to one individual poster not people in general so please don't try and twist my words, and yes it's sometimes better to say nothing at all than to make unqualified remarks as I'm sure you will realise when you leave school and reach maturity fella


Education is fine if you learn from it and not waste it on here trying to wind people up, oh and good luck with that and all

Great Win under the circumstances.Our biggest problem is =#FF0000Discipline whether its trained into us to slow the game down or not but we took the pis# last night with it, LEIGH only completed 1 SET by themselves in that first half all the others times we gave a penalty away that's what piggy back them up the field every time.


up the Trin

It was a gutsy win yesterday, no doubt at all.
The 20 point lead, in less than 20 mins was incredible and it looked at that point that we were going to rack up a cricket score.
Fifita was almost unplayable and the 2 clean breaks were superb but, after conceding their first try, we just seem to lose all of our shape and composure and compounded this with penalty after penalty, although some of those decisions seemed very harsh.
Having said that, to be down on troops and come back to secure a game that appeared to be slipping from our grasp was a great effort.
Huby deserves massive credit for the minutes that he put in and it's another 2 points, which keeps us in touch with the top 4 ! (which is just mad, when you think where we were 2 seasons ago).
If we can keep on chalking up the wins against the lower half clubs and maybe surprise one or 2 clubs above us, we have everything to play for.

We could still do with Saints, Catalan or Wire to keep struggling for form though

as it could all get really tight for 8th spot.

Come on Trin !

Bonza ^


What gets on my nerves is the constantly negative comments posted to the total exclusion of everything positive that occurred in the game by the teams OWN FANS.
Ok if the Codheads come here and start with that, at least you know they have an axe to grind and to not take em too seriously, but when your own fans are here bagging players all over the place gobbing off about how utterly pathetic the team is in virtually every level and questioning their commitment, ability and professionalism, I think its time to step back and ask the question.....why are you actually posting, are you actually a fan of WT or is there some other force driving you to behave like this.
Nobody's saying we shouldn't point out failings, things that need improvement, but they can't be the beginning middle and end of every reason you post.
Mistakes are made, nobody's perfect, the players know it, the staff know it, there's no need to smash em to pieces with it, its unproductive, unnecessary....almost gratuitous sometimes.
As fans we do care, why we can't direct that depth of feeling in to posts that help and encourage the players and the club rather than just grind it in to the ground...I dunno.

boils my p*** sometimes

rant/end

Some bad losers from the Leigh lot. Almost like Dennis Betts to a point. We run 40 on em and they feel hard done by?

Quite so, that's the second most points they've had put past them, only just behind what Castleford put past them

I think our biggest problem as Wakey fans is expecting the worst to happen. We're so used to our team giving up and losing that it's strange having a team who are willing to fight for each other and fight for a win. They're doing great this year and are getting better as the season goes on. I'm trying to make an effort not to comment on our games until the final whistle has been blown as this team have the ability to astound.

What ever happens, we're all Trin fans and I'm sure we all want the best for the club

2 people deserve some praise after the game.

The sniper who shot Ben Jones Bishop.

The medical person who gave him the miraculous recovery to let him get up and run round like a 4 year old in a sweet shop

Professional foul, he's got to go.

At the end of the day, you got what you deserved - a good victory. I think the hardest thing for we Leythers to take, is actually recovering from 0-20, to take the lead, and then go on to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory! That, plus we are just not worldly wise enough to be able to mount any sustained pressure on our opponents. Having watched the 'highlights', you did score some excellent, well-worked tries, and I thought we'd seen the last of Liam Finn, when he left Featherstone - where he was always a thorn in our sides.

Keep it up and there's no reason you can't make the top four - a position that may just be beyond our reach, now!!

We know this feeling well, and we've been at it, a hell of a lot longer than you guys.

That was hard to listen to - the poor dog kept skulking off when I was yelling at the radio; he only re-emerged when we pulled away in the second half.

I was as disappointed as anyone to see the big lead slip away, but it's unreasonable to put that all on our players; Leigh were obviously cack in the first 20 and were always going to put some things right and have a say. I'd suggest that more credit is due to our players - who would have let that change in momentum stick for the whole game in the past - but they regrouped and put the game away fairly convincingly in the end.

Judging by some of the sour grapes tosh from some Leigh fans, we must have done something right.

Interesting to note the talk of Leigh adding some quality players before the M8's - I wonder how many of them joined Eddie in branding us cheats when we did that last year...?

Exactly what you did to us at yours. We dominated most of the opening 40. Then you put things right and totally dominated us for the entire second half, both offensively and defensively. I do not subscribe to the theory that we eased off for that second half. What happened then was, in my view, entirely down to Trinity.

Indeed.
Leigh fans were our fiercest critics at the time (when Brian Smith came in) and there was a feeding frenzy against our "rule breaking", which we clearly weren't. In fact, many clubs in both the middle 8's and Super 8's have "copied" that style, either to compete within the "new" part of the season or, to avoid ending up there.
The system is still bonkers though and the sooner that we admit that there simply aren't any other clubs worthy of SL (apart from KR and in a couple of years Toronto), we can all get on with enjoying our RL and plotting to beat The Aussie in a major competition.
Before the abolition of "Franchising", there were increased numbers of juniors coming through at all SL clubs and the game has started to go backwards.
Some clubs dont even have their own academy set up
