I could name any number of players for praise today, but I thought Hood was absolutely immense!

Virtually faultless performance from our go to 17 today , we weathered the early pressure from the wires without breaking a sweat to virtually dominate and set the tone for the rest of the game . My worry was half time would give the wires a lift , and Williams did start running more with ball in hand more , but Drinkwater water was conspicuous by his absence and input in the game . Long way to go until we can all breathe easily , but it clearly shows when we turn up with the right attitude we can go toe to toe with the best and that’s with constant chopping and changing if the squad due to injuries. The moans and groans around me on the terraces about the no show of dagger, Kershaw and Kaye was incessant before the kick off , but those rumours were put to bed early in the first half with a resounding team effort .Of that team on show today I can only see Whitbread replacing Eseh for the trip to hull , but I’ll leave that conundrum to Mash .

Agreed, I thought Lineham was outstanding as well, apart from the strange decision to put it on his boot when he’d gone the full length from the intercept

As you no not a Lineham can but is best performance by far since he came to Wakefield ( wash my mouth out with soap and water) and if he plays like that every week deserves is place in team

Highlights are on Sky now.

Like many, I couldn't understand quite why he kept his job when we were 0/15 but, the turnaround since we got Fifita back and especially now with Gale pulling all the strings is, unbelievable.
Today was both our best and most complete performance. Rock solid defence (apart from one blip) and some quality attacking play.

I'm happy to eat humble pie (and a lot of it).

The job isn't done yet and we mustn't not get carried away but, certainly a day/night to enjoy.

So many players had their best games of the season, Hood, Lineham, Langi, KP, it was a joy to watch.

It's strange for Senior to score four tries and not be an automatic MoM.

Keep up PT, there is a highlights link six posts above yours

Excellent performance which will cause Mash a massive headache next week if Kay and Dagger are fit. On a side note, does Egg Banjos Internet disconnect everytime we win?

What a performance from Max Jowitt too. A hand in the majority of the tries.

Powell been sacked as a result. What are the chances he’ll be at Cas by the time they visit?

I think so, Cas would be silly not to approach him for the rest of the year, although it’s the same board that he apparently fell out with previously.

Are we still on the outlook for an assistant?

Who cares...we'll smash em, oh little ray of sunshine

This could possibly be the greatest escape of many. Well done Wakey - even if Wire were dire and even though you can only beat what's in front of you, you did it in Spades.

Lol sorry. Was busy celebrating our win.
I'll try and pay more attention

I've said all season the biggest problem was the speed the ball moved. We were just so slow, every runner had defenders on them as soon as they got the ball.

Today we were fast and accurate.
Gale passing to Max in a perfect position so he can catch at speed and then pick his pass has made the whole backline look slick.

Feel a little sorry for Dagger and Kay after their recent top class performances, but to trial Gale alongside Lino just had to be tried out, and who can say that it didn't work out. Lineham was a candidate for mom for me; taking some really high balls and good attacking runs. Hood had his best game since the drubbing of Cas away last season. Jowitt was pure class (again), and Langi was nothng less than a wild animal let loose. everybody was 110% all round. WELL DONE LADS!!!

If he's had a better game than that in his entire career, i will be shocked.

Dagger , Kay and whitbread are integral parts of our squad and have been outstanding for us when on the field. The good part of all this for me is that we can chop and change when injuries hit and still put in match winning performances.I’m sure Mash would rather have this type of selection headache than the previous 15 types of migraines where he couldn’t beg steal or borrow a win . I sound like a broken record but it’s no coincidence that 2 old stagers have come to the club, rallied the troops and the players have bought into it . Let’s all savour the big boppers last few games in a wakey shirt I say and watch the silky skills of Gale ,who had Williams in his pocket all game

Let's not Forget Griffin and Tanginoa to become available shortly, plus the French lads. Could it be we now have a much more bigger squad and places are not certain for anyone. Nothing like competition within the squad to get everyone to raise their game.

Usually we get press reports suggesting that the teams we beat gave their worst performance of the season, or ‘have key players missing’ etc etc- in other words that was the reason they lost- no credit to Wakefield

This time the emphasis seems to be how well Trinity played and justifiably so.
Wire were outplayed in every department. They simply were not allowed to perform by an outstanding Trinity effort.

It was so refreshing to see a player control the game so well.....against a marquee player and England captain.

Loved seeing Fifita putting Vaughn on his too. Their forwards just seemed to shrink away.

Great performance Trinity!







I’m looking forward to taking my family over to support the Red, white and blue v Hull next week

Makes a nice change doesn't it?


An outstanding performance from 1-17 and difficult to pick a MOTM...
Great attacking play and also solid defence backed up with speed off the line and turning up for each other.
As you say, they were outplayed in every dept and made to look very ordinary.

Watched it back on Trinity TV...it was even better than I thought at the game. Forwards were dominant, Hood was fizzing, Gale, Lino and Jowitts interplay was superb and the backs were excellent,,,especially Lineham!
