I try to refrain from shout offside all the time keep think I will grow horns

jk commented on the "red button" how well the kids have done.

well done lads

Superb defence tonight. In the first half we got battered for long periods and over the course of the game saved many Wigan tries with try saving tackles on the last on our line. Well done all.

Also nice to see JD and Sam Obst down tonight, not sure if any other players were down but definitely saw those two..

yep they left early I think to congratulate the kids in, very good to see them

Broughy was there too. He played for us last time we were in a Grand Final, at Headingley under John Harbin. We lost that day can still remember those Broughy tears.

Yep, I remember that.

Leeds had a cracking squad that day didnt they? (although ours was pretty good too)

I remember Broughy going up to his mum. Bet he doesnt do that these days!

Fantastic news got in from work at 9pm so missed it but it was great to hear JK getting it in live on sky that we had made the grand final with a win over Wigan

One in the teeth to 90% of the Total RL anoraks who say Wakefield bring nothing to SL don’t produce juniors etc

Maguire, Burrow, Diskin and Calderwood were definites that day, Walker aswell possibly and more? We definitely had Brough, Mason, Feather, Snitch and a few more who went on to play in Super League.

Remember it well and our lads gave their all that day and there was no shame in losing to that Leeds side. If we can have as many good players play for us in the future from the current crop then the future looks bright..

This team are much better than that Wakey team for me though and really deserve a real good turnout in the final.

If Wigan make the final, it could be a real belter especially if they drop there Reserve players into the team. Personally do not think Trinity will have any trouble beating the Wigan team that played yesterday in the final.

We could have played for another 6 hours and Wigan were never going to break that Trinity defence.

thought gibson was outstanding last night. all the lads deserve a pat on the back but if i was to pick a man of the match it would be gibson he was superb in defence. looks like he will be following in his fathers footsteps, carl gibson ex great britain winger. but well done lads.

We could have played

changed yer colours again jonh

Welcome back pal

cas acadamy crashed out in one of the strangest games ive ever seen.

cas lead 36-16 with only 8 minutes to go but the bulls ran in 4 tries, the last coming from what looked a blatent knock on,cas completly through it away clocking off early but they are a young team for u18s and will be better for the experiance,the bulls on the other hand are a huge side who rely heavily on the size to break teams down.

36-16 with 8 mins to go and they lost?? wow..

what was the final score ?

36-40

shocker that one

yep and for 70 minutes they had played them off the park.but hey thats rugby.

Really enjoyed the acadamy last night, liked the look of our number 13. Hope they get a big crowd for the final

Brough on pitch at half time with is son (guessing about 3 or 4) passing and kicking, kid looked very promising, sign him up

Annakin but at the moment not signed, playing his cards to his chest I think,
as good a player as he is they have to budget, there is no doubt team spirit there it would be lovely to include him in the squad

Don't set him panicing just yet!



Annakin is already signed for next season - as he has another year at this level yet. We will no doubt try again with him before too long!

he has shown interest from our clubs, but then so has George Burgess of the bulls

Never changed my colours in the first place i have invested a lot of time in these lads and the next batch so i have no shame in calling them we.

I honestly do not care who wins the final as long as we continue to see good youngsters coming through the ranks.

Kain Southernwood really impressed me last night I have to say, i saw Vasty compare him to being a better potential talent than Tomkins and wondered what he was smoking, but i have to say he controlled the game last night and in my opinion was the difference between the 2 teams, will be interesting to see how he goes if Wigan run with there first choice Academu halves, if they get to the final as they were very unorganised as an attacking unit last night.

I think you will find a game is played for 80 mins though mate. I went this game and have to disagree. Castleford had good spells but so did Bradford and obviously thier best spell was the last 8 mins...
