| Watching on Sky at home in Ipswich, I enjoyed that! I missed the start & Wakefield were 10-4 in front when I started to see it, but for a change, I never thought the win was in doubt.
This was the second time this week that I've seen a Leeds team deservedly lose (Tuesday in Shepherds Bush), but as much as I dislike both versions of Leeds, I like far more seeing QPR & Wakefield win!
I did take a bit of umbrage hearing that nobody would have predicted a Wakefield win tonight. Why would everybody expect the better side to lose?

| To be fair Lolohea pretty much setup all of Leeds tries. He is clearly out of shape or carrying an injury but will come good. His passing is class.
Hurrell never really did it in the NRL apart from a few glimpses and I don't see that changing over here anytime soon.
Leeds need a scrum half and fast, another year of poor recruitment from Mr Hetherington but no doubt he will keep his job.

| Outstanding performance right across the park that - but special mentions to Broughy and Tupou; I was very critical of the Brough signing, and I'm happy to eat humble pie on that one - he remains the best kicker of the ball in SL history, and one of the best organising hb's - the way he puts his teammates right where they need to be, is just exceptional; and to see his hunger to win *every* involvement he has throughout the game is amazing, given his age and experience. I hope he does more of that, and keeps his temper in check.
Tupou is an outstanding centre - he has that Big Ali skill of stepping through heavy traffic and finding some space - he totally embarrassed Watkins, who'll have nightmares about that game for years.
Lovely stuff - let's hope that signals the mythical 'clicking' of this team, and we get more of the same; if that doesn't teach them how good they can be, I don't know what will.

| I think today's edition of League Express should have been sub-titled: "Special Wakefield Trinity Edition". A wealth of Trin associated articles. Even old sourpuss Garry Schofield sings their praises over Friday's game in a lengthy article.

| Absolutely great performance and a big win against a Leeds side that had previously showed some promise but looked to be well off the pace. If they can't do better than that at home on their big party night then they are in for a long season.
Toupu was outstanding and it was man versus boys down his edge.
Oh, before I forget - Trent Merrin

| Leeds are no mugs. They'll win games. The tries they scored were good.
It's just we were better.
