What a terrific performance from the lads today both in defence and attack ... anyone not there missed an absolute treat
And how emotional to see them proudly lifting and parading the trophy with the red, white and blue ribbons

As well as the 7 who have signed full-time contracts, many of them are still Under 18 next season! The futures bright, the futures RED WHITE and BLUE.

Proud to be Wakefield, proud to be Trinity and proud to be a Wildcat.

I've just seen the two teams in todays League Express. Really made up that Wigan reached the final with that side.

Apart from Melling, all of them are young enough to play at U18 level next season.

Wigan could have drafted in four or five of the reserve side that won the Grand final into the U18's final but obviously decided to let the younger kids who had beaten Bradford the week before a deserved chance.

Wakefields GF winning side contains a large number of players who are still elligable next season.

Should be a productive period for the Junior system at Trinity lets hope the results are'nt wasted as has been the case so many times in the past.

What happened to the players in that side?

We need to make sure that we identify those who can make it and concentrate on building those players into ones who can challenge for honours with Wakefield.

Though I can't see the team photo properly, I assume it's the Trevor Bailey team. I seem to think they played Wigan too?!!?!
Seem to remember Billy Conway playing against Martin Dermott and looking the much better player (but that may have been Yorks v Lancs game) but Dermott played for GB for a long time and Billy didn't.

Obviously we had other players who played for the club a long time and achieved a good standing in the game at the top level and some that faded away.
The same will happen in this team. Some players that look great at this level won't make it for various reasons, some the other way.
