I've supported Trin since the mid-1980s and I think this is the best squad I've ever seen (hope I haven't jinxed it now for the end of the season).'"
Yes I too thought it was harsh.
Someone may put me right, but I don't think we had a penalty second half until Dobson kicked out on the full in the 79th minute.

Nah, we had a couple before that.
There was a head shot coming out of our 20 in the first half, that was given

| No - only 6 out for us not 9
Mossop
Johnson
Jones
Flanagan
Walne
Lannon
Well played Wakey - some good stuff played and great wingers. Fitness did us in the end and Dobbo was off colour for the first time this season and should have been replaced early by Carney. You cant have an Australian International on the bench for 60 minutes and win in Super League. Big mistake for me by Watson.
Re the Crowd - Well there were 2 big events - 2 miles away - 70k at Manure & 50k at the Concert. We`ve no excuses and Koukash is at his wits end but sadly most Salfordians follow ManU in preference to anything else.

| Well done Wakey best team won, hardest team we've played against this year. Top Defence, speed on the wings and solid down the middle also missing a few fair as well. See you in the Quarters for what i think is tie of the round

| Was just remembering at the beginning of the very first match of the season, Jon Wells stood at the touch screen and commented that Wakefield hadn't got 10 wins in them this season. How brilliant to prove him and other pundits wrong.

Nice try.
Btw, as I posted on our board the Carrick testimonial and Concert are just smokescreens. We've just got an incredibly shi-te support base. If I had a quid for everyone I met on my walk home from the ground that asked "hiw did WE go on"? I'd be a feckin millionaire. The few fans we have ate generally great and usually make a racket, there just aren't enough. Pretty sure we took around 1200 to Wire on Monday so why we can only muster double that at home feck only knows.
Anyway, as I said earlier, well played. Really good team Wakey and we're defo the tie of the round in a fortnight. I'm not looking forward to those beer prices down south tho....

Similar questions can be heard around Wakefield. Both ourselves and Salford are serving up some great rugby and yet the public of the respective cities can't be r'sed to turn up. Give em a sniff of Wembley and they'll all come out of the woodwork.

Never a truer word said! Annoys the out of me tbh.... I've only ever known one half decent Salford team (bar this one) in 28 years but I've had a season ticket for all but a couple of those years because they're my team come rain or shine. Maybe I've been fortunate that I was born a Utd (of the Manchester variety ) fan, so 9 times out of 10 my weekend has been rescued by a Utd win! I'd love to see a Salford-Wakey (or, dare I say Salford-Cas ) challenge cup final. It must be a piece of being a Wigan/Saints/Leeds fan watching your team win something every year, yet the likes of Salford & Wakey get ridiculed year upon year for being everyone elses biatch!
I'd love nothing more than seeing us in a Wembley final and when we play you in a fortnight may the best team win. If it's not us then I'll be rooting for you guys as it would be nice to see a new name on the cup. Besides, we're your feeder club so would be like watching a Salford win anyway...

No, you were spot on!
Just watched it back and we weren't given one penalty in the entire second half up to Dobson kicking that restart out on the full....when you look at Salford scoring two of their tries off the back of last tackle penalties that looked extremely harsh it's hard to believe we didn't get at least one at some point in that half for laying on or offside because there was a fair bit of it going on!
That said...I thought Hicks had a very good game...he's maturing very well into arguably the best ref in the league IMO...doesn't make the game about himself, and hardly noticed which is always a good sign...as I say, thought the two last tackle penalties were a shade on the harsh side but can see why they were given...
Defensively on the whole we were brilliant...Salford threw a lot at us and we stood up real well...especially on both edges....the two second rowers were class defensively...you look at the size of Batchelor and Ashurst compared with some of Salfords pack and they were terrific...Batchelor put two belting hits on Kopzac who's such a powerful player...I can't speak highly enough of this kid...we've got an absolute diamond on our hands here! To add to them though both centres were excellent...Lyne before he went off was near faultless...had Sau in his pocket all game...its also the best I've seen Gibson play for us, and both half backs tackled really well too to make us look real solid across the line...
To say it was his first outing in the first team since last July Chris Annakin was tremendous too...got through a ton of work and made some real hard yards...if he had the size of say a Fifita, he'd be the first name on the England team sheet at prop forward...just love his attitude and what he puts in on the field!
It's a fantastic headache to have for Chris Chester, but I wouldn't like to be picking the side this week with Grix, Tupou, Kirmond, Hadley and Allgood all pressing for a return...who on earth do you drop from that performance!

TBH after their performances on Sunday I'd stick with the same team. Not one of them deserves dropping and that team would give Leeds a game and has the potential to beat them if we play like we did on Sunday.
Also gives those listed an extra week of recovery for the Salford cup game.

Some people like Huby, Fifita and Ashurst could maybe use a rest before the cup game.

| One game at a time. I would hope Chester isn't looking beyond the Leeds game, which could put us up to 3rd, and is planning on playing the squad he thinks can do the job.

| After looking at the table in a bit more detail it's dawned on me we are in a really good position to make the top 4. Albeit there are 5 teams that have broke away from the rest, it would take Wigan 3 wins, possibly 4 with the points difference, to catch us. What's the ££ breakdown for finishing in each position of the top 8? Obviously there are 7 more games to follow the regular season however in terms of the remaining fixtures of the 23 games, who should we be routing for? Teams like Wigan / Saints to make the 8 more of a level playing field or the top teams to cement out place in the top 4/5? The trinity mindset has always been to look over our shoulder at the teams behind us however should we be now thinking differently?

25k a spot nothing for 8th I think plus 4 home games not three and possible semi final.
