| We were totally under the cosh from leeds and some tremendous goal line defence kept us in the game, our effort was immense and we gave it a good go, there was a few breaks that we didnt either execute or make the right decision that could have changed the game and conceding a try on stroke of half time, and allowing them to break from 90yards out. Washy's pass wasn't great and if we would have been 4 points behind with 9 left I believe we could of gone on and won.
Top year, fantastic effort, made so many strides in so many areas on and off the field.

| Proud as punch with the side ok couple of things went against us a pass a mile forward for burrows first try and if you watch it again his second was iffy.Leeds lose the ball forward wakey player goes for ball a bit of a dust up scrum feed to Leeds now go back to first offence Leeds Knock on.Danny with the pass even a dummy pass would have seen him through or there abouts.I wont knock Danny for that its one of the very few errors he has made and think the guys been an absolute stand out for us over the season and how many could have run back and caught Hall like he did.

| Quote: JayyRob2810 "Absolutely outstanding effort by Wakefield, the game basically went down to the fact that Leeds had more star power and more game changing individuals than us. Every-time Kallum Watkins touched the ball, Lee Smith didn't have a clue how to defend against him and ended up on his backside, poor Ben Cockayne was then left by himself against Watkins, Jones-Bishop and Burrow on two occasions and he didn't have a chance.
In my opinion, Danny Cowling would be a preferred centre instead of Lee Smith - he is much quicker and better in defence (as seen against St Helens) and he would be a nice addition from the youth system....i can't remember if we have signed Lee Smith permanently? but if not then i hope he goes back to Leeds. Richie Mathers, Ben Cockayne and Peter Fox impressed massively under the high ball as that has been our weak point this season and it was a delight to see them jump confidently and almost with ease against the likes of Ryan Hall and Ben Jones-Bishop.
The Rhinos couldn't handle the connection between Tim Smith and Danny Washbrook/Frankie Mariano, they broke tackles every time they took on the line and on 2-3 occasions made a clean break and that is where I believe we are much stronger than Leeds as they rely on the pace and aggression of their young backs - Jones-Buchanan, Peacock, Ablett, Delany and co. don't have the power and precision that our forwards have....although it did constantly get me out of my seat that we didn't stop Peacock offloading!
Yet all in all i'm not going to be a bitter Wakefield fan and say we were cheated or the referee blew us the game as Leeds' tries were mostly off the back of our mistakes and IF Washbrook would have made that pass....who knows, we may all be celebrating. Brilliant season and effort by all the players and staff, looking forward to the 2013 season!'"
Peacock was the best forward on the park by a mile.

| TBF I though Peacock put in a great stint for Leeds last nigh.
Over the past two years though ang going forward Kyle has been far better for us than Jamie has for Leeds, and as for Griffin and Moore .
Coaches have favourites but Leeds overlooking Kyle shows a huge failing on McDermott IMO, but Leeds loss has most certainly been our gain.
According to a story I heard yesterday McDermott uncertain on his future after this season.

| When you consider how long the spine of whino's team has been in place compared to our completely reconstructed side, last night's performance, even without the pressure of the occasion was way beyond expectation ( as was even getting to last night).
Like majority here, don't buy into blaming individual errors costing us the game.
Really proud of what Trinity have achieved.
Main concern remains the size & pace of whino's ( & wigan)- & in case anyone throws It into the mix-Burrows is a one-off.
Not sure how we make the next step without mucho more dosh.

Care to reveal who got through more graft then? From where I was sat Peacock seemed to pull in 4 or 5 defenders every carry and got out a fair few off loads as well. Must just be me pal!

Did you read what I wrote or are you looking for a pointless argument? Our pack is better than yours and because Peacock put in a good 'stint' doesn't mean that raises your forward's credentials - with Delaney, Kirke, Bailey, Griffin, Moore and Jones-Buchanan.....apart from the latter, that is not a Rhinos standard pack and they have definitely showed that on more than one occasion.

Yes pal your pack is class. Shame it didn't get on top of Leeds' last night. Griffin and Kirke I'll are gash I'll give you that one lad. As for Moore hasn't really played but when he has got a shirt has carried and defended better than them 2 to be fair. But If you really are suggesting that any prop you have at Wakey could even lace Peacock's boots then you're the deluded one.

Top six 2005 - Trinity.: |

| Peacock can be class on game day but those games are becoming less and less as seasons go on.
Peacock really turned up yesterday and fair play to him but I wouldn't want him at wakey as he is at the very end of a distinguished career.

He keeps rolling back the years in every big game he plays. Best front rower in the Super league era.

He certainly has been on of the best on th SL era, hard to disagree.
It's a shame age catches up to every player but he will still have a few good games in him for next year and probably some average games too. Shouldn't take away from the fact he has had a very successful career.
Will be hard for Leeds to replace for sure

| Quote: Pudsey Cat "One thing we lack and its a big thing is pace.....'"
Pace in RL isn't what people think, and we don't lack it.
Fox and Cockayne are pretty much as fast as Hall and the other lad in a foot race. What they don't get is the space and the service. Offiah was never the fastest player in RL but his natural ability to anticipate and the service of a brilliant team made him look like Mr Bolt himself. Neither Fox or Cockayne have a true wingers instinct nor do they get the service Leeds offer, but they are fast and most of the time do a bang up job.
One of the fastest winger I ever saw at Wakey was a lad called Gary Christie and his try tally was 2 in a season if I recall - one because he was hardly ever in position and two he was in a poor team.
Pace for me is not the issue.
