Pretty grim but did what needed to be done. Highlight Lauititi's try. No one was going to stop him from scoring that!

London were very poor so big a improvement will be required next week against better opposition.

I agree London were poor but I thought our defence was pretty good. They had to force the pass to get passed us and we defended the kick well on the whole (certainly compared to previous games).
We didn't tear up the ground with attacking plays but in weather like that you have to grind out wins.

Thought Fox had a great game in defence and attack without getting any great chances.
Sykes proved his worth again.
Collis showed a lot of go forward today too.
Washbrook and Aiton were their usual selves.
The rest did enough for me.
No bad play but improvement will be needed next time of course.

Relieved . Not the usual Trinity let down.
Any sort of win would have done today.
More points would of been nice in 2nd half, but at least we didnt let them come back in to it, and cave in.

Pretty happy, the fact that we won comfortably and we still aren't happy perhaps means that we are heading in the right direction.
Thougth Fox was excellent and Aiton superb.
Anyone know the attendance figure ?

Agree and will add Raleigh to that list, thought he carried well today.

Oh and will the Southern knockers please pack it in.

Yes

I'll go with all that that also sums it up for me.

5876. Very vocal crowd.

Not a pretty win but a win anyhoos.
Think our forwards actually dominated today and Fox had a great game in defence.
Can't believe there weren't more sin binnings for the amount of holding down London did and the fact the man in the middle had to speak to them twice

MOM standouts

1. Sykes
2. Smith
3. Fox

Would we have taken that scoreline before the game? You bet! Anyone else surprised how awful conditions were once you stepped out from under the North stand? ( Thanks for that roof btw and good "away match" type atmosphere there) So I don't think we should under-rate that performance. Very solid team effort especially defensively. Big shout-outs for Foxy under the high kicks ( excellent), Collis (looked like beating his man all the time) and the forwards generally did a good shift. Would like to see Ali get his hands on the ball in the last third more and still more dummy runners and PACE onto the ball when we have good field position ( or are Wigan making this look too easy?) but I'll take two on the trot and let's get behind the boys next week for a possible third...!!! Mind you we had to win on Trinity Sunday!
Btw hope Danny ( always one of our best players) is OK.

Good team effort of basic rugby in tricky conditions,I thought Sykes all round game was excellent....well done to all.

Two 40:20's in one game!!!!!

I think our defence shut London out for most of the game , we stopped them playing, olli, kirmit and Charlie played not too bad, with a bad day was pleased with our support and once again loud well done north standers...

Thought Collis was immense and looks a threat when we give him quality ball! If he doesn't beat the man he'll draw the winger and feed
Fox.

Ali Lauititi & Kyle Amor, the other stand outs for me along with a much improved kicking game

Yes

does that take Wakefield to the top of the 40/20 stats board...

excellent win today with tricky conditions. Their main threat seemed to be the young winger, no 21, thought he had a good game. Bring on Hull now. Let's keep the momentum going.

With a bit more effort backing players up who make the breaks we would have been a lot more convincing today. Still, a solid effort under bad conditions,not one I was expecting really. The team showed a lot of character and obvious signs of improvement. Even Mellars look ok

sykes and smith were the deal today, thought they were great and they seem to work well together
the new S.A.S!!!!

For me the most impressive thing today was the defence and the forwards. Raleigh put in a great shift. Best moment was ail's try - No stopping him from that distance.

Good solid performance, which was needed in those conditions. Credit where credits due we got it right today. That said London look a poorly coached side, I reckon Powell will be gone should they lose against Widnes next week.

Good shout for me to name Collis as motm - he looked great going forward and put in a superb defensive performance.

Raleigh was immense up the middle, Sykes and Smith kicked really well and Big Ali scored a vintage try - straight through 3, then put the big don't argue on Dorn and knocked him on his arris.

Defense was much improved today - they looked to be tackling with venom, had great line integrity and played with real togetherness and perhaps a bit of pride. Easy to do against a side so abjectly hopeless as London, but promising signs.

I would dearly love us to show up against Hull as, I'm sure, would Richard Agar.

I think a big factor today was the discipline. Last week we gave cas a piggy back up field nearly all the game but today our penalty count was much improved.

Hello from sunny Seahouses in Northumberland. Nice to finally get back to back wins this season. Well done fellas, lets make it three from three against Hull.

What about Amor he was immense !

For me it was a workmanlike performance. Solid against what was a very poor team. Matches like that with so much dominance are opportunities to get a big score, we didn't yet the differential is 18 points so that is a major positive.

I suspect the penalty count was strongly in our favour, yet with all the holding downs I felt we should have got a lot more. Not being able to convert to points when we get repeat penalties near their line is something we need to work on.

Thought all our lot played well, not outstanding but really well. For me Amor was superb and I felt he was the best out of a number of contenders.

Highlights for me:

1. Amor's performance.
2. Ali's try.
3. Two 40-20s.





P.S. Speaking to two Hull FC fans they are not confident for next week, they were very disappointed with their performance. They described the Hull v Saints match as two very poor teams.
