Loved the performance and effort today. What a difference a close season makes with a top coach, we defended very well, we kicked well. our defence round the ruck was fab and Anderson put a player on his backside. Well done everybody.

Nothing to complain about for any that went other than the rain throughout the game on a very exposed western terrace,

Was quite happy with that.
Defence was better than I've seen for at least a season. And that's one on one and cover defence too when Leeds broke away.
They were lucky to get their try.

Effort was excellent. That's pretty much all I ask.

Finn showed what a difference a good organiser can make. He is just what we need.

Good solid defensive effort. You can tell Brian Smith has got them training harder now.

Any news on Scott Moore? Went off after the first set and never returned.

Great win for Trinity today, coming away from Headingley with the spoils is always difficult nowerdays so credit to the whole club for downing a strong a Rhinos team.

10 Grand Final players in their in their line up with the likes of Galloway and Falloon also adding to their starting teams strength. Sure they had a couple missing but so did Wakefield and let's remember they were at home.

I don't think it makes us favourites for the Grand Final but it certainly offers us lots of optimism for the coming season and a run at the top 8.

Little gripe, wear white shorts & socks with the white away kit! (if thats all I've got to complain about I'd be happy to wear blue though)

What was also really pleasing was the fitness levels looked to have really improved, tough conditions today but the intensity level never dropped!

Great from the lads today. Didn't mind getting Ps wet through to watch a display like that. Good defence, excellent kicking game and sound attack in the conditions. Thought the ten minute sin binning was a bit harsh in a friendly but that's Silverwood for you. Keep up the good work boys. see you in the top 8.

Yes I agree re Johnstones Sin Binning.

Interestingly the Leeds (Yorkshire) Evening Post carefully select their wording and betray their lack of objectivity where Leeds are concerned.

Johnstone Sin Binned for [idenying a certain try[/i - it wasn't certain!
Falloon [ihad a try disallowed [/i - no he didn't he knocked on and it was never a try
Wakefield [ihold off Leeds[/i - Wakefield were in control and never looked like losing
[iLeeds missing a number of regulars[/i - so we're Wakefield but no mention
[iA Leeds team with a number of players making their debut[/i - so we're Wakefield but no mention

Who was missing from ours?

Anthony Tupou for one!

Simon, Annakin, Hall, Tupou, Molloy, Walker.

its the usual crap coming from a bias rag, wouldn't expect anything else
