good mention from Ryan Atkins

Brilliant, Absolutely brilliant, showed how much it means to everyone to finally get that win over there - i actually never felt threatened by them last night as i usually do, even Bentham couldn't help them last night though he was certainly trying !!

Brilliant support from the fans too it was almost a semi-final atmosphere, and to see old men, women and children clapping, dancing and singing with smiles on their faces was very satisfying, those who weren't there missed out on a magical night !

Here here let that be the spark that triggers fantastic away support week in week out as it must have helped spur everyone on when we could easily have let the game slip away. To be honest I though the support was disapointing noise wise at Wakey but perhaps it was because people were spread out aling the length of the field but being in the middle of a roofed terrace bought it all together big style last night.

Onwards and upwards on and off the pitch I hope.

the ground at wakefield just doesn't offer any atmosphere whatsoever, at warrington even a couple of hundred can make a lot of noise, when jerry scored that try last night the scenes where reminiscent of when wild scored in the semi final there, albeit on a smaller scale!

fantastic support if only we could replicate that at all games, especially at home!

Great atmosphere last night - best for ages in a regular away game. Band were awesome from first arriving and definitely helps to build the chants/songs. From tweets players appreciated it and when score narrowed the fans helped to keep the team positive. Well done to all there - same again please over Easter - still singing on way home - we're Claret and Gold, we're Claret and Go-old

i like that from atkins

Don't think I can do it on my phone

40 tackles no misses from bruno again last night! That for only half a game!!! And before folk moan about his go forward he also had as many carries as Huby and Eorl but a slightly bigger avg gain! What a workhorse he is!
Mullally made 9.5 metres a carry- only 6 carries and 9 tackles though.

Great night. Atmosphere was top class. Really great support. And I think it absolutely made a difference. Particularly when it scoreline got close, the lads were under the sticks waiting for wire's kick. At that point the noise from fans went up even further. No griping or getting on players back, just 100% support. That's got to make a difference.

Main points I picked up:

Our defence is looking as mean as it has for 18 months. Solid, working for each other, good shape, better line speed.

Michael Lawrence is a major part of the above. Gotta be one of the best defenders in super league. Great technique coupled with a great engine and increased size and strength over last few seasons makes for a brick wall of a defender. As others have mentioned, his go forward is steadily improving too.

Our signings so far have made a real difference. Huby was quality. Didn't take a backwards step. Hughes was solid again. Ellis gives us real balance. Thought his first half kicking was very good
, he takes on the line and is a class finisher.

Brough was outstanding. Kicking master class. Was vocal through the match, geeing the lads up, didn't get his mardy head on, which with the number of the pens against was good to see. One thing I noticed in particular . Jerry made a tackle bust and spilled the ball. Danny was shouting from other side of pitch at him to keep his chin up and keep doing what he's doing and encouraging him.

Loads of other pluses. As baloo has mentioned we weren't perfect with the ball, but I still like where we are at.

Jools where did you get your stat from? Been trying to find some but had no luck. Cheers.

One other thought - how do we get that atmosphere at home games? Was chatting to my bro today who also went last night (an ex Rhinos season ticket holder of 20 years, now converted!), he mentioned why not get Giants fans in the South Stand? It is the best stand for atmosphere at JS Stadium by far. He has a point. Town are doing that next year.

Any thoughts?

Been a great feeling today being so positive about the towns RL club again!

and yet some know nothings still don't think he's worth a place in the team! unbelievable
