Don't buy that, happens all the time, I've seen us do it a lot. Leeds gained that last flourish of the back of Kendalls whistle, rightly or wrongly take your pick. Down to 12 men and the game lost Leeds could chance their arm, we on the other hand had done our job and at that point nobody was to bothered about last ditch tackles etc. As you know 12 men are often quite difficult to play against so again no big deal for me.

I actually take it as a positive that with 10 minutes to go I suspect the lads were already thinking about next week.

I'm an England fan and hes been great so far this season and you know I didn't even notice he was missing - hows that for strength in depth. All the same hope he gets well soon. Gave Hirst the chance to have his best game yet imho so a silver lining.

Good points Vasty.
I thought the lads were taking it easy in the last 10mins and I was OK with it - a bit of saving energy etc.
I am an England fan - his workrate is excellent - and I totally forgot he was missing!
With you on Hirsty too - thought he and all the subs did well.

Yes i was a little disappointed we didnt score more.

At 35-10 with about 10 to go, we looked to have another couple of tries in us.

Maybe at times we just pushed it a bit too much.

On to next week

True, we didn't place the boot on the throat, we just kept giving the ball away in the last 10.
50 was very possible.
Its not a massive issue but its where the likes of Cas and Saints build big scores.
In the context of just winning the game, it doesn't matter, but in the wider context its about maintaining focus no matter what, for the entire 80.
Its much easier to do when you are used to doing it, if you're not sometimes its not there when you need it.
Its by no means a complaint, just an observation.

Are we not missing anyone on here, I thought the Printer would have been on to pass on his congratulations?

Printer is taking a break due to ill health
We wish him well

Sorry didn't know, wish him well & await his return!

Sorry didn't know, wish him well & await his return!

I've said it before about these big reputation Overseas players, while still decent players they just aren't hungry for it anymore. After playing at the top in the NRL they don't seem top be able to replicate it our league especially when they know they won't return to the NRL. They command a an high salary on name alone. Give me a younger hungry NRL reject with everything to prove any-day.

I'm just glad we've got the squad we have.

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.
