One thing we lack and its a big thing is pace.....

In the centres maybe, but your forwards can shift and are very mobile.

Unlucky Trin. Plucky show & played some good stuff but just unravelled in the last 15 mins.

You can be proud of your team though. Good season for you on the whole & I think you will build on this for next year. Well done.

Started well and threw the ball to hand with conviction and a bit of fizz. Shame that a couple of key moments - burrows try from a pass that was 4 foot forward and then scoring on the last play of the first half - just eased the pressure on them - we were the better team for considerable periods. Hoping for more next season the players are talented enough.

We just couldn't handle Watkins... simples

After Lauititi scored you blew it for me. You shouldn't have been throwing the ball around like you were and could quite easily have forced an error had you pinned Leeds into their 10/20 like you had been doing. There were 10 minutes left. Plenty time for 2 scores. Silly play.

I dont know about anyone else but i cant even be d given the game an autopsy, we could of done this, we should of done that. Its done now. Just really looking forward to next season and see who Agar can entice to come to are team.

4 x we were pressing the Leeds line. 4 x we forced silly passes and coughed up possession. 4 x Leeds scored immediately or within a set of 6. if we had been patient when near their line tonight, this would have been a very close thing and it was closer than the score suggests anyway. Won't be too critical though. We were pretty damn good for a good deal of that game. Well done Trinity, great effort

Totally agree.

Blew 3 good chance and against lower teams might have got away with it but not Leeds. Apart from that pretty happy. Think Leeds will win in France as game type will suit them but after that expect a kicking boys.

Enormously proud of the boys, more than I ecpected this season.
We weren't beaten, sadly we beat ourselves.
Congratulations to the rhinos they did what they had to; they are a champion side.
We've had a taste of what's to come a year ahead of time IMO.
Anything negative I've said about RA and JE Fir employing him i humbly take back, in defeat I am very proud to be a Wakefield fan and to have stood amongst so many wonderful fans all season home and away.
Can't wait for 2012.
WTID!!!!!

Completely agree, it's been a great ride, cheers to everyone at the club.

Don't beat yourselves up guys, great effort from the team with a healthy following from the fans.

You didn't convert pressure into points when you were on top, that was the difference. Leeds did. Great run to the play offs though. A lot to build on next year.

No buts for me - I'm really proud of the effort tonight; great run of form, great support and a cracking game - they took their chances and we didn't take enough of ours, simple.

Well done Leeds - bring on 2013.

Tried their nuts off just weren't good enough in the end. Didn't play as well as we could of which was disappointing but it will be a great learning curve for them and will stand us in good stead in the future. We over achieved this year, now the task is to build on it. We need to be clever with our recruiting and the future is bright. Time to get those season tickets people, lets back the club and give them the means to take us to the next level.

Give it a rest you tool.

Grow up your posts are idiotic at times

Whoever deleted the stupid post well done.

Did anyone notice it was Washbrook who charged back to tackle Hall when no one else could catch him. Outstanding effort. Tackle of the season for me.

I'd rather the thread continued in the " proud mode"


Washy is and has been a ROCK all season, he wanged a absolute howler of a pass and he'll be gutted about it.

No need to haul him over the coals for one mistake imo.

A top, top effort and came out of Headingley proud to be a Wakey fan!

Been a real bonus the way we've finished the season and we just came up short against the greatest Super League team of the last decade on their home turf. Had our execution been a bit better at times near to their line then who knows what could have happened? I don't think the players could have given any more and the fans were absolutely fantastic (barring the complete moron who threw the beer bottle at JP)...

On reflection though it's been a great season and we've come a hell of a long way in a short space of time.....that's thanks to everyone at the club.....Andrew Glover, James Elston, Richard Agar (who has totally proved me wrong) and of course the players.....the great thing is it could be even better next season....we've retained the majority of our better players......we will see Mr Aiton back playing.....3 or 4 very exciting youngsters have done very well when come in and will develop further next year....hopefully things with Newmarket will gather momentum and things will start to happen.....I can't think of many better times in all the years I've been following Wakey.....

All we can do as fans now is sit back and reflect and enjoy what was a great end to the season and put our faith back in the people running the club and go out and renew season tickets (if already haven't) and spread the word just what is going down at Wakey at the moment....

A fantastic effort by the lads, a few major things to work on in the off season, very little in the sides last night, the major difference being the kicking game and our inability to catch the high balls or even attempt to go for them. The bounce of the ball with the kicks didnt fall our way either. ROLL ON 2013

We just didn't get the rub of the green or bounce of the ball when we needed it but our goal-line defence was fantastic, something that has been a weakness even through our good streak. Leeds got some opportunities from broken field play and took them well but wouldn't mind seeing the replay today to see how many forward passes they got away with this week.

If we can keep most of the squad, get lee Smith fit and add a few others we can really improve in 2013 imo

Reasons we lost?
Same old story against Leeds. Close but if we let the likes of Watkins, Jones Bishop and Hardaker see some space it's try time. We just don't have the pace in the team to recover.
The interception by Hall really gave Leeds the game, after that they were always favourites.
Couldn't make my mind up if Sykes repeated drop outs were bad kicks or poorly executed attempts for touch. Either way Leeds got their repeat sets from about the 20 instead of downfield.
Inability or lack of confidence to take some of Sinfield's kicks before the bounce.

On the +ve side I think the away support and rugby on show from both Saturday games helped rescue the playoffs for Sky after Friday's dross.

We were in with a shout of winning it until the last 15 mins where we threw the ball about a bit too much & lost some composure. But a good competitive game of rugby and we pushed Leeds all the way.

We were undone a little through the centre positions I thought and Leeds had pace to burn big time and we couldn't get near them once they got through our defensive line. Thought our forwards were fantastic and we were on a par with Leeds. We had a couple of tough calls against us with the Leeds forward pass and our pass by Sykes called forward that wasn't but overall the better team won on the day.

Well done Wakefield

& I look forward to next season!
