Spot on again, it was only applied to one side today. Along with punching and stepping off the mark , being a top side has plenty of benefits in the eyes of refs like Stokes.

The ref was an absolute disgrace. How we got pinged for obstruction where as Wigan got away with them at well. Gelling punched 3 players and got a pen, Marty Smith throwing sneaky uppercuts.

What a performance from the boys though, they looked fired up and played great. Mathers outstanding and I still think Tim Smith is one of the best scrum halves around.

After that tackle on taulima , what does it take to get sent off?? Then Wigan punch someone and get the penalty, we're they playing a different game???

The worst one today was the simplest.
We ran in to our own player, even though we stopped and the tackle was complete we conceded a penalty which rescued them and brought them up field.
Opposite end, right in front of ref same thing happened. Ref lets it go. They score.
Kirmond and Mathers were on the edge of a stroke they were so upset.

On that note though. Kirmond for once fired them up when he was so upset. Seemed to work.

Good win guys, never an easy place to come too... Good luck for the rest of the season....

WOW, WOW, WOW. What a performance from all the boys today. A massive pat on the back. No help from the referee and against a Wigan team that seemed to be playing to different rules.

Very nice of you to say WP..

I'd say both teams got something today. We desperately need points and got some. You needed to blood some future stars and rest some guys. You got that without really impacting your playoff position.
Wins all round.

It usually is for you lot

.

Thank heavens Wane evened it up by resting a few, on top of the injury situation you have.

Would have been a disgrace had Wigan sneaked that. Trinity dominated from start to finish.

Forwards bullied the Wigan pack and I even thought Mathers went well.

Trinity totally out enthused the Wigan team.

Well done Trinity. That win must secure SL status for 2015.

I was stood in the sun rather than North stand and it was tres hot today.
Credit to our forwards for sticking at it

Youth is fine, but we are seriously short of experience. Great to blood youngsters of course, but you need the points too. Wakey played what was in front of em, and played well for a win..

Just sorry i could not get over today, i like coming over there..

CHRIST!!!! Were we that bad!!

Amazing what happens when the players put everything into it. Said a bit ago that this team was much better than it was showing and today proved that. Not perfect but much much better and that was great to see. And with other quality players to come into the team a good end to season is awaiting us if we want it enough. Lets back it up next week now.

just got back and must have watched a different game to you lot! No mention of a perfectly good try for wigan disallowed - who was keeping who in the game? Good display by wigan today given the team we had out and inexperienced bench. As with Cas, you would think you had won every cup in thr comp, not just beaten an under strength wigan team. Well done on the win

good god man and what about the try you did score that was a definite crossing

Or what a shame under strength team, well we had six out but just got on with it our under strength team did well dont you think

Ah, I think you are mixing us up with fans that care who we beat to get our points.
Those kids beat Salford and others so it's a good win for us no matter what you think.

You see this is where it's much easier being a supporter of some clubs than it is others. Wigan fans have been spoiled to death with success over the past - god knows how many years- but if a struggling team actually beats them they don't know how to take it; they have to fall onto an excuse, i.e. young inexperienced players (who would walk into 95% of SL teams every game) I just wander what their great support would be like if they had had the trauma our club have endured not just recently but over the last 30 years -and not a trophy in sight!
You must forgive us for celebrating - your team may have put in some great performances for most of the season, for me our season kicked off today - it's the first time I have seen a team performance from Wakefield this season!

Except forward passes aren't allowed under the rules so it was correctly disallowed. Although i'll concede that you do usually get away with them so i can understand your confusion.

Is there any particular reason other than the obvious why you chose that user name?

I think the team today shows that Webster makes his team selection based on the opposition rather than a name or what some of our couch coaches think. I wonder if the usual suspects will crawl from the shadows to berate Mathers or Washbrook's performances today.
I notice a thread was started criticising the dropping of Walshaw at the expense of Lynne but we won so must give Webster credit for being his own man.

You boring sod

Live with it

if you'd have won it would've been the Wigan academy is brilliant ,sorry but should have lost yesterday.........definately lost today...

Well to say we are out of the cup (no chance of winning it any way) and Wigan are out of the it with just the title and old Trafford to play for you would have thought with the thrashings Wigan have handed out in the last 2 games they would have torn us to bits.Alas the mighty have fallen to a crap side who wanted it the most who could see that one coming.How the hell did the ref not see the obstruction for the Wigan try let alone the forward pass just before from Matty Smith after penalising us for the exact same blatant thing god knows.A win is a win and will take it even if its an under strength side that has scored lots of points in the 2 previous games.was saying to my lad when the side came out to warm up that you could see they wanted it.

Well done to all the Wakefield Trinity players and to the coaches.

The team that wanted it most won.
