First try of 2nd half

final score 12-4 to wakey

Well done lads hope the big lads do the same tomorrow

Excellent news, I'm sure Wigan will have had a full side out tonight after welcoming some of their younger reservee team players back to academy action. Just shows how far these lads have come on as a team. Massive pat on the back to all the players and coaching staff. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that gives us home advantage in the play off final now, no excuses for people not turning up to this one, hopefully we can make two grand finals this year!

congratulations to yours boys on getting to the final and for a great season.

We unfortunately got knocked out by Bradford last week, as you will already know, but still very proud of our lads this year.

There is some exceptional talent in the top six teams across the board the future looks bright for rugby league and home grown talent in this country.

Again well done.....

Well done lads, fantastic stuff.

Thanks for checking the website for updates

Final will be at Belle Vue Saturday 3rd October apparently.

Hopefully Wigan can bounce back next week.

Anyone got the team sheets from tonight's game?

I'll ask Snowie, he's been texting me up dates

what a close game that was, we had a try disallowed at the end for a double movement would of made it a bit less tense at the end, and Gibson saved a late effort from from Wigan, tremendous ovation to the lads as they came of the field

I saw one but didn't have one to hand

If it's anything like our home academy games then they are gold dust. You have to turn up early to get one because they always print too few.

Charnley is a reserve regular and Malloy a player who's played half and half at both levels but the rest are Under 18s regulars. We could have taken further advantage of a blank reserve week but glad to see we didn't.

Cheers for the teams btw.

I normally get one but tonight was to busy chatting to Jonh and then the game started, wish we could of got more to the game

A decent turnout but the lads DESERVE MORE BACKING, what more do these lads have to do to gain the support of Wakefield people.

Absolutely outstanding effort from the boys tonight.

Wigan will be playing us in the final on the 3rd October mark my words, they're the best team I've seen by some distance.

The defensive effort from the Wakey lads tonight was immense, Wigan must have had about 60/70% possession in the first half and looked very sharp, I think against most other teams playing like they did they would have been 30+ points up at half time. Not against our lot though the heart and desire was superb.

The second half we were probably the more dominant, but Wigan still looked dangerous and again our defence was magnificent.

The pattern for us this season has been to grind teams down in close games for the first 50/60 minutes and then take them apart in the last 20, this was never gonna happen tonight against a team as good as Wigan but we never panicked and always believed in ourselves. Thought we missed Southernwood for the spell he wasn't on and I'm not sure why he went off, but it didn't matter in the end.

The scorers for anyone who is still reading were Dale Morton with a good finish from a good Danny Cowling offload and Danny Cowling collecting Matt Wildie's kick through to score, the first was brilliantly converted from the touchline from Southernwood and the other two points came from a Jordan Grayston penalty, the Wigan try was scored by their stand off who's name I didn't quite catch.

Edit:

Hard to pick a man of the match in such a good all round team effort but I thought Chris Annekin ran the ball in strong and came up with some massive hits in defence, Adam Slater ran well and Matt Wildie I thought had a good game and looked dangerous. For Wigan the fullback looked good and very pacy, the scrum half looked good with a good kicking game and their loose forward looked very good and even had the referee in his pocket all game.

Congrats - every one of you !!!!
What a 12 months this club has had , couldn't make it up - what an achievement , hope the lads finish the season as gf winners

I haven't a clue, the score line expressed how close these two teams was, being biased I would say that wakey had the stronger defense, but wigans attack kept coming, got home to hear John Kear shouting their praises on sky tv

Iam glad I went down to the game, it was a good hard game of rugby, with the Ref slightly spoiling the game

, not a bad turn out, but I hope more fans will back them in the final....

big cheer for the ref when he did blow after about an hour, don't mind the odd offside as long as it works both ways, I didn't think he was that bad

as again if he refs a game we lose though

Thought Wigan certainly got the rub of the green from the ref, not as bad as BIGAL would have you believe from his shouting during the match

but there were a few bad calls from him mainly when Wigan were not square at the marker usually after strong drives and quick play the balls from Annekin.
