Fantastic season though - 5th position , excellent - the future is bright!

before you all start to slag they came to tackle us and they did thats it rugby league thats how u win

Very disappointed to end the season this way but overall its been a fantastic season and finishing 5th was way above my expectations. Even more disappointing is that we will be "paid out" as though we have finished 7th/8th after tonights loss.

But best team won, I have no complaints. They had more passion, desire to win and enthusiasm than us and over the full 80 minutes it showed. I was particularly disappoined with our departing players who did not show up tonight. Drew looked like he was already in Huddersfield and Snitch and Wilkes looked like they were thinking about their better contracts elsewhere. The exception was Grix who I thought had a stormer for us. How would the game have gone if Brough had played, but he didn't so the rest is history.

Having said that an ecxellent season overall and I should like to wish the likes of Atkins, Wilkes, Snitch, Drew and Grix and other departing players all the best for their future and thanks for your service to Wakefield Trinity.

Looking to the future we have some superb players in Newton, Tronc, Morrison, Millard, Jeffries plus maybe 2 more quality players to come so I believe we will have a better team next season than this.

As I say, a disappointing end to 2009 but my mouth is already watering at the prospect of 2010.

You have got to be joking - how can you talk about JD's passes when Grix was chucking it either over their heads or at their toes. Please let Hudds take him - inconsistent petty boy poser.
For all of those arm chair coaches who wanted to see Grix given a chance in the halfs - well he had his chance and look what he did. Utter tripe.

Although I agree Grix and Drew were pretty average tonight it does seem a little coincidental that they are getting a load of stick..........and have now left the club??

Personally thought the majority of the squad were lethargic for far too long in the game this evening. All in all though you have to be pleased with how the season has gone.

I am utterly amazed that you thought Grix had a stormer - please watch it back on the tv as i have just done and look at the 4 consecutive passes that grix throws in the second half 2 of which go over the receivers head 1 BOUNCES before it reaches the reciever and the other one just about hits the recievers boot - stormer my Jim Royal

There is only 4000 of you think so - poor attendance from a team finishing in their highest position ever in super league. No matter what happened to you tonight this was always going to be your last home game of the season I would have thought more could have turned out for the players to applaud their acheivement. Cas will be taking at least 3/4 of that over to Wigan for an away game - if not more.

There was still a chance of a home game in semi.

Attendance was crap no doubt about it, nothing any of us can do about it other than turn up to the games!

Wakey would have taken a good amount away from home, our away support is better than home support

get over it

It seemed like they wanted it more than us at the end of the day...Like to put out a mention for Olly Elima..top try scoring forward this season and cant believe he didnt make make SL XIII.

Disappointing end to season. Both sides poor for first twenty, and we were perhaps the least poor. They woke up earlier, that's all. Drew had a shocker, and maybe he felt that he had to win the game for us on his own too much. I think they played the ref better. Bentham had clearly decided that both sides could wrestle all day if they wanted, and they realised it first. The amount of time they had to complete the tackle was shocking, but they played to it, and we didn't.

The negative for me was the crowd. Very poor numbers, but we are the ones who turn up, so what can we do?

The real positive for me was Luke George. He could be a special player next year.

I suppose we were never going to win the Grand Final, but it was nice to imagine it for a while.

See you next year.

typical cas fan searching desperately for a negative to pull wakey down! very sad!!

loads of players playing out of position all season i think(no wingers all year same story at stand off and JDs days as a centre are long gone for me)

we played tonight without an out and out half back and were always going to struggle against a near full strength(and very high quality) catalan side.

time to look forward to next season and the team looks to be shaping up very well to me!!

good luck cas tomorrow, hope they beat the pie eaters!

Overall this season has been top notch but tonight we were poor.

Absolutely gutted for the players that they have finished the season in such a poor way. Catalans were there for the beating and unfortunately the occassion got the beating of us.

We paniced and made basic errors in the first halve which allowed Catalans good field position. They took their chances and simply out enthused us. We turned up second halve but the games was gone.

Proud we finished fifth but dissapointted we lack the killer touch.
