One of the first games I've missed this year and sounds like I missed a belter. Beat Salford and Tolouse and we can breathe easy I reckon.

Thought Whitbread was our top performer in that 1st half. Been critical of Battye recently but he came on a looked like the Battye of the loan period.

He also has another benefit in that he is a Wakey lad. This team has always been good when we have had a fair few local lads playing. Its good if you can build a team around a core of local players.

Whitbread is turning into one of the cornerstones of the team. Think he could be a great player for us. Proper solid. Doesn't do fancy stuff but just tonnes of hard work in attack and defence.

Nobody had a bad game tbh. Thought Lineham was great also.

For sure.
He's probably had his best 3 games for Trin over the last 3 fixtures and playing out of position, exceptional

I would hope that finally puts the Tanginoa to prop to bed once and for all except in an emergency.

For the second week running he was in SR and running destructively out wide. I’m very glad the coaches have finally come round to what the majority of fans have been calling for.

Running at the halfbacks and backs Tanginoa is just a destructive beast and that was a peach of a pass to set batch free.

Pitts seems to be pretty good in the middle at 13 too.

Murphy made a cracker of a tackle. Hall is making some exceptional runs and yardage. Hard to believe that edge is 20 years old and are on their debut season.

As a few have said Whitbread has a big engine and never shirks any of the tough stuff.

Fifita has convinced me he’s got another year in the tank too.

Good performance where we touched it out today. A real team performance. Keep up the good work.

great win

Well played Battye

Pity that there's no game next week. I hope we don't lose the hiatus that we seemed to have gained. Five tries today, but I just wish we could gain more confidence and nous in the opponents ten metres area.

Steady-on Vasty.......

I hear whispers Batch has become a bit disillusioned with Trinity especially seeing the environment his bother is in and how his career has blossomed.

I hope I’m wrong as the last few weeks he seems to have rediscovered his mojo and we can keep him but I think it would be very tough to retain him if others as they appear to have done came in for him.

The line he ran for his try was sublime. He actually side stepped the defender before he caught the ball not seen many players do that since the days of Steve Renouf.

A great performance but we make it hard work having to come from behind. We need a little composure and a bit of craft in the last 20 some of the attacks today left a lot to be desired but take nothing away the chase by Murphy was a game changer and gave us the lift we needed. Some top performers today.

The confidence and passion the team are playing with is plain for everyone to see , and can now hopefully kick on and get amongst the teams above and cause some headaches for them .Thought today we kept inviting the wires back into the game with errors and penalties, which without that foothold it would have been a much more comprehensive victory ,but credit wakefield we dug in and and never let our heads go down and after that astonishing game saving tackle by Murphy the wires heads went down and it was ours to lose .

He can become a big fish in a little pond with us just like Johnstone and build our team around them , but if they decide that they want pastures green then so be it , we simple can’t compete with the big boys in monies or facility’s ,but imo no one is bigger than the club and we thank them for their efforts and move on without them , if that is their choice .

Highlights on sky sports now

Was it Jai W that made the break down the middle in the first half?

If it’s the one I’m thinking, it was Batch playing in centre.

There were a few breaks. Batchelor was one but Whitbread also broke downfield but unfortunately was no support pushing up.

I can understand that as a reason to move on but the rumour is Hull KR! That to me just says money.

Yes he actually did it twice.

I got told that we have now bettered KR's offer ??

Just been looking at the "James Batchelor" page on Wikipedia and they've already got him listed as playing for Hull KR in the 2023 season. A little premature I hope.
