| Well my learned friends that has blown the whole C grade up against A grade players out of the water as well as big buck signing against our bargain basement boys . Not one giant player out performed their opposite number today and apart from the late tries had the dye in every department. Pride and passion and a big dose of confidence is all you require to put a performance in like that.All that bunkum about we aren’t performing cos of this and that ,money , skills not good enough .Well there you have it these boys can play attractive rugby ,they just had to believe in themselves.That’s the trinity I have supported all these years ,a team that doesn’t conform to the usual rules and has no respect for supposed better quality teams ,they just go out and give their all ,I knew they had it in them and today they’ve proved me right .

| Best game since we beat Leeds away in 2019, faultless.
Ashurst back on form
Fifita best game for a bit
Tupou same
Miller back
Arona heart and soul
With these stalwarts back and firing and the likes of Pitt’s, Battye and Kaye finding their feet it’s been coming for a while.
No injuries, a few good calls and some luck combined with the above and bingo.
This is what makes sport fun, you just can’t script it, so much of it is luck and circumstances, I’m so delighted it’s finally changed especially for CC who had few friends left a month ago, bygones be bygones is probably best.

I get your point but I disagree. We are a quality team always were we just needed a break and thus a chance to prove it.

Yes they are a quality team. I admit I went through a phase where I thought 'Are these players really is as good as we think they are?'
well, to answer my own question, 'Yes they are!'
Like has been said by CC , these displays have been coming. They are no fluke! Those tries today were top drawer and the defence top drawer as well.
Keep it up Trin!

So many here said we didn’t have the skill level or quality to compete , and I’ve always said it was nothing to do with money or skill it was the confidence that was lacking vastly ,and today has proved a point ,

| Form is temporary, quality is permanent. Always knew the team were a lot better then what we have been playing hence why we were matching teams for 50 minutes, we’ve not been blown off the park from minute 1. I’m not getting carried away as this is Wakefield but that was a pleasure to watch today against a very good Huddersfield team.

| To be fair, as delighted as I am with today, I really wouldn't be surprised if we come unstuck next week! We have to have the mindset that we are on 0 points, if we think it's going to be a formality then we will come up short.

| Yep, quite agree, Vasty...if we'd continued our losing streak this board would have been in meltdown now...it's just a shame that some people can't equally give praise when it's clearly due

| Absolute quality from 1-17. Loved the hand off from Dave, sent the Hudds player flying. Only downside, Westy looked like he had a leg knock, hopefully nothing. Again the knockers are absent 100% guaranteed to be the first posters upon our next loss. With Leigh, Wire(after the CC semi) it's Cas!

| I don't want to get too excited,because this is Trin we are talking about, but that was pretty impressive.Agree with other posters about how our defence has been improving massively and today it was exceptional,along with a great attacking display.Not knocking the players for a second, but is it just me,or did anyone else notice that our intensity dipped slightly when Westerman went off injured?(he certainly seems to be a big driving force).Or perhaps it was just coincidence, with tiredness setting in a little with all the tackling we had to do early on and also a man down for 10 minutes.

| Having read all the hype about the Giants being the real deal this season I wasn't confident about a win today. Sat in the east stand prior to kick off, when the teams were read out our subs were Fifita, Battye, Pitts and Wood which was a stronger bench than the Giants and must have been our strongest bench for some time. With Tommy Johnstone due back any time soon hopefully we have turned our season round and more of the same please.

All we’ve ever lacked is confidence and we look like we’ve put that to bed today , and the thing that most clubs struggle with and that’s consistency.stood down the far end of the west terrace today and you could see how relaxed the players were talking to their wife’s and children whilst warming up on the touch line . Fitita even had time for a joke with my son when he told him he was in his dream team and to get a couple of tries to boost his points . The whole team oozed confidence and we’re relaxed and enjoying themselves today ,a good day at the office I’d say .

We always had the skills, it was just sat on the treatment bench.
Once we got a near full team out and Walker filling the hooking role like an experienced pro, we could show what we have.
That team stays on the field and we'll win more games.

Yeah including the chairman & coach who said those things?! It just shows how badly we were underachieving, this is the best squad we have had for a very long time, and if we don't win between 10-12 games, that would be unacceptable. Against a good team, that was as good a first half as I've seen for quite some time, and if we don't kick on now for the rest of the season, then we never will. I really didn't think Tupou would come back to that kind of form again, but i'm so pleased he has. It was so hard to pick a mom today, probably 6 or 7 contenders, but it probably was Lino's best game, so i'd go with him, well played and keep it going!

| Totally blown away by the performance today. Talking to others we were trying to see just what had brought about the change. For me the crowd back is a massive boost as well as injured players returning. Milky especially for me has been excellent. Today we stopped a very good team from playing their game while at the same time playing ours so very well. Long may it continue and I can't wait for next Sunday.

So the first 3 or 4 games, Miller, Tupou, Ashurst, Arona, Fifita played like they have the last 2 games?! Sorry, can't agree with that.

Chester said e took him off as a precaution, tbh so far for me westerman,has been our best forward all season and now rest of pack are gaining some dominance his efforts have been rewarded. Wouldn’t argue with Miller last week or Lino today but personally would have given him mom both weeks.
Hrs looked particularly effective at second receiver, carrying it in as an extra prop or distributing like a stand off, reminds me of the form he had when he was a big money signing from cas to hull

| Think after the last two matches apart from T J this is our strongest 17 .We look like a team that is well drilled in attack and defence The ball movement as improved 100% .No we will not be a Wires ,St, or Wigan but think with a performance like this ,we could finish well clear of relegation

Whilst that’s true we are now playing at home in front of a crowd against lower or mid table teams it’s a funny game but today we played with confidence and with a little more luck could easily have scored 60
