Also a very special mention to Johnstone who I thought last night was absolutely incredible. His tough Carries (2 a set at times), mopping up at the back, try,  and even pushing Field to the corner to make their last minute try more difficult to convert summarised who he is as a player. In my opinion he was world class last night. 

Wonderful performance. Every player deserves credit. Our defence was so well organised. Only a couple of times did a player jump out of the line. Until the end, they didn't even make a half break. They kept running Nsemba at Lino, but he tackled him everytime. Plus, Trueman really can tackle. We dominated most contacts, and you see the frustration in Wigan's players.


We had to playout from deep so many times. The backs took the ball out more than normal, which I presume was deliberate due to the lack of forwards. They were immense.


Our attack really is clicking with Lino and Trueman. We looked dangerous whenever we had field position. With Jowitt chiming in, we have so many options. With more field position, we would have posted more points. The scoreline flattered Wigan.


Special mention to the Northstand. We were immense. Shoes off if you love the Trin.

It was definitely Trinity's best performance of not just this season but, probably for 10 years.
Walking up to the ground and hearing that McMeekin was out, that sinking feeling cam over me but, that performance was awesome.
From Jowitt getting hit early doors (and it certainly shook him up for a while) and then Cozza going off in the first half but, we just got stronger and stronger.
Talk about grit and determination, it was phenomenal.
A truly memorable night at BV.

Can't really add anything to what's been said already. What a great night all round.


My only complaint is that I couldn't sleep cos I was that stoked, and am knackered today! 

Hard to pick a man of the match ,Must have been one of the best matches we have had for completion rate , low penalties ,and low missed tackels for a long time 

Hard to single out a man of the match. Wigan seemed to have singled out our right edge as a weak spot, but Walmsley was superb catching the high balls they bombarded him with and they couldn't find a way through. Once Wigan realised that plan wasn't working they seemed bereft of any ideas to change it.


I honestly thought their pack would steamroller us, but despite the size advantage our forwards had bucketfuls of something special that theirs were lacking...heart. They mobbed their bigger forwards preventing any meaningful progress and stopping offloads. Our backs taking so many carries meant our forwards had the energy for this.


It was especially good to see TWO! half backs working together and between them they completely overshadowed Wigans more illustrious counterparts. 


And then there's Max Jowitt...enough said.


Great team performance, roared on by an outstanding North Stand with notable assistance from the posh ones in the seats!

As soon as we gave away the 3 or so penalties at the start of the 2nd half and Keighran flew over I thought here we go. How wrong was I. I’ve genuinely never seen a more well drilled side in my time of watching. 1-17 literally gave it all for the badge last night. Proud Wakey fan. 

The official stats will probably be out soon but on SL Stats 6 players ran more than 100m and no one really made a long break. All those metres were tough metres.

Death, taxes, and we look so much more calm and assured when Truey is on the field.  I love him, and all of the others.  


What a night.  Atmosphere was amazing, truly.

Special mention for Walmsley too...how many hit-up's did he do ??
He kept getting smashed but just got up every time and came back for more 

He did 16 carries for 132 metres.
Significantly 41 after contact so he's no mug.


I'm warming to him.
Unless we really have a top overseas player on the way besides Smoothy I'd probably keep him 1 more year.
