Nah, Sinfield and Peacock retired last year, this is their strongest team



Btw, we havent had many comfortable wins over there on Boxing Day, regardless of who's played.
Looking forward to the game though.

Come on Trin !

I m looking forward to a comfortable win, as we have a good squad and one thats pretty representative of the team we will put out over the season - if you count playing out of position leeds have ten of their starting 17 are missing. Apart from Cuthbertson, ablett and Galloway (playing top) pretty much there whole first choice pack is out. Its only a friendly but .....

Golding
Briscoe
Ablett Watkins
Keinzhorst Moon
Handley Hall
Sutcliffe Mcguire
Aston Burrow
Singleton galloway
Lilley Parcell
Garrett
Jordan-Roberts JJB
Delaney ferres
Cuthbertson Ward

Don't agree but either way the result of this game means sod all, friendlies are a terrible guide to the coming season in my experience.

Don't get me wrong a win is better because there is no such thing as a good defeat but that's all.

Always good to beat leeds no matter the setting. Hoping for a win, but arguably no injuries more important

Can you pay on the day?

Yes. We've sold 50% more tickets then last year

Super thanks, and that's great news.

Not long now

Really looking forward to it... Part of the traditional festive period. Decent forecast should be big crowd.
Some good rugby and a win would be great even if a friendly... but not the end of the world if a loss...

Already looking forward to it.

2 solid days with the outlaws, time for a bit of me time.

Where does everyone park, anyone recommend anywhere?

Very solid performance today particularly in defence. Up the Trin

Yes it was and just as vital, we appear injury free.

Overall the whole team played well and to say we bombed about 3 chances too

We got that confortable win i predicted then! Never in doubt!



Decent performance throughout and a confidence builder.

Good game, decent performance and fab result.
No injuries wither it seemed. Tom J looking great as always.

Yes Sacred you got that one right too. Wonder if a certain person will be congratulating you.

I wont say anymore on that one.

I predicted a win but not like that. I said on way 24-16 to us.

A very good all round performance and with a few players still to come back it does look exciting for 2017.

Happy with that - always good beating Leeds on their own midden!

Some cracking performances from, Hirst, Allgood and Crowther. Kirmond seemed to make plenty of metres as well.

Williams looked decent with the ball, Johnstone scored a great try, as did Sio.

Cant read too much into the game though, don't think we'll come up against a team as bad as Leeds were. They were really poor.

Very solid performance and plenty of positives today although, it was only Leeds


Dominant pack and excellent defence plus,great performances from Kirmond, Walker, England and Hirst.
Grix was outstanding and Johnstones finishing was superb.

On the other hand Leeds were bang average

Leeds were dire even in that 1st half when McDermot was obviously wire up to the ref. How many repeat sets between 30 and 40 miinutes? What was the penalty count?

Thought Reece Lynne had a great game till subbed, ditto Kirmond. Tom Johnstone lethal as ever with the half chances. Batchelor slotted in nicely when he came on making one particularly good cover tackle on the Leeds guy who has the women's hairdoo.

This might not be pr but Lyne was good today.

Wakefield easily dominated the Leeds pack and despite the predictable protests from Whino fans, they only have a couple of forwards to bring in.

Hadn't Wakefield taken their clear cut chances they'd have posted another 5 try's

Big notable performances for me were, Grix, Lyne, Sio, Hirst, Ashurst, Kirmond, Crowther and Batchelor when he switched to the left

Thought Reese had a great game with ball in hand but he needs to learn when to let it go.
Really like Allgood in defence. England great, Arona gets through an enormous amount of work and looks sharp.
Hirst was busy but you can tell full time environment will improve him drastically.
Liked the way Williams organised the team.
Ashurst and Kirmond were both top class. Really please Kirmond could be back to form.
Grix did a lot of good things and will be an asset but for speed and safety I prefer Max.
Crowther showed some nice passing today which I didn't know he had. Played well.
BJB and Tupou went well. Good yard makers.
Finally Wood and Sio at hooker looked ok. We played well with Wood on but I actually didn't notice him as much. Will watch him closer.

You can only play what's in front of you, but Leeds ere poor.

Really enjoyed it today.

Lots of positives across the board but I was particularly impressed with Caton Brown. Showed some very classy touches.

Some really good things today and some to work on that will definately improve the team. Good solid foundation to build and really looking forward to next season. Thought all players went really well but just feel Hirst will need all pre season to get to the fitness he will need as he just looked a bit short to me but showed he can play at this level.

Lynne made yards for fun and Johnstone showed some great finishing. Thought Wood was very sharp from dummy half. The pack looks very promising with Fifita, Huby and Molloy creating additional competition the team should be competitive with any SL pack. Highlights..... www.therhinos.co.uk/home.php

Good game today and with strength to bring into the squad I'm feeling optimistic about the upcoming season which, I must say, is a wonderful change!

Someone mentioned they were impressed with mason Caton Brown today. I didn't see him on the pitch at all. I believe he and Annakin were announced but it was in fact batchelor and mazive who played. Some one correct me if I'm wrong aha
