I disagree with some of the comments about Wildie, he did the job that he was asked to do.
He tackled like a demon in that first 20 minutes and he was steady at dummy half. I also
suspect that was all Webster asked him to do and I bet he also has the same role at Les cats.

Fort defensive effort was massive last nite.We didn't Av best nite with ball in hand but defense was great and kicking game is much improved now Tim smith seams to av kicking game u don't remember him aving last time round

Daft comment from Betts - they threw everything they had at us and we defended better than we have in a long long time; a couple of months ago, we'd have conceded 6 tries under that kind of pressure.

Good to see Wildie get a start, but difficult to judge anything more than his defence, as we didn't really have any ball in their half during his spell. Also doesn't help him that McShane came on and gave his best performance of the season in the second half - he ran that game and showed his experience; we actually managed a game!

Smith was quiet in the first half but came to life in the second; he's found a kicking game that for me, was one of his weaknesses when he was with us the last time around; we absolutely *have* to get him signed on for next year.

Keinhorst, Lyne, Owen and Riley were strong and Ryan did his usual hard shift; and great to see Big Ali back on the field and dragging 4 defenders with him on every run.

Overall, a game we probably needed; now we know we can tough it out when we're under the cosh and we can defend when we have to with some structure and discipline, and some key players missing. It's fantastic to see the spirit amongst the players - haven't seen that all season so far, so new coach syndrome is obviously working. It was also great to hear Webster say in his interview "This is not about me - it's about *my* players."

We're far from world-beaters, but we're a different prospect to the easy beats we'd become a couple of months ago!

Big effort from Ali, looked as though he had never been away. Was only expecting a few minutes in each half, he put in some serious game time.

Not sure which of the SKY pundits said it but one said "Wakefield at the moment are a team no one wants to play". Praise indeed.
