Does anyone know if this game is being recorded for Trinity TV, to be shown later this week?

Not sure mate, if they are I hope they only post highlights of the first half...

Here we go,

Good run out by the lads we dominanted for 60 mins as we should v championship sides but halifax will win more thanthey lose and onlytime we dipped was when we had youg guys on and constantly changing the team.big pluses for me was jai and hood with brad walker looking good

As you say dominated for 60 minutes.

The 20 minutes of second half we dipped were because we didn’t really see possession. Fax we’re fortuitous in some repeat sets and six agains.

We had 5/6 young lads on for most of second half and in last 20 we actually put on a few scores with Bowes, Murphy, Butterworth, Shaw, Hall and Poching all on the field. This young crop look good.

Whitbread for me was excellent at 13! He took ball to the line before passing and was strong in yards and def. Hard to look past him for starting 13 on that performance. Lineham actually impressed me too. Ran well and found some offloads. Looked busy and fit too.

Davetanivalu looks like with a few games under his belt could be pushing for a spot in first team. Some very strong runs today and a good game from him.

The future looks bright at the club with that crop of youngsters that had a run out today ,very impressed ,and an enjoyable game with some good rugby played by both sides

so for the benefit of those who couldn't go what was the score please?

24-52

Trinity battle to victory against Halifax
16TH JANUARY 2022
Wakefield Trinity register their first pre-season win after battling to a 52-24 victory over Halifax at The Shay.

After over 300 appearances, all eyes were on Grix as he ran out onto The Shay for the final time this afternoon, closing the curtain on a fantastic career.

However, focus soon turned to the game and with the time ticking down to the start of the Super League season, head coach Willie Poching named a full-strength side for the club’s trip across West Yorkshire.

Following a decent performance against the Rhinos on Boxing Day, there was a lot to ponder for the Wakefield coaching staff, as the side’s big hitters returned to the starting line-up.

Comfortable and a safe pair of hands, Trinity fullback, Max Jowitt, started well as the Panthers pressed early on. That possession seemed to pay for the home side, though, as minutes later Corey Aston stripped the ball to run over unchallenged.

Just one month is left until Trinity welcome Hull FC in Round One of the Betfred Super League, it didn’t take long for the away side to find their bearings.

Just five minutes later, Liam Hood powered his way over the try line before Corey Hall touched down his first Wakefield try.

Silky play was the order of the day for Poching’s men as they made their newfound momentum count as Jai Whitbread, Jacob Miller and Tom Lineham all found the whitewash before the half-hour.

There was time for two more tries before the referee called time on the opening 40, though, as Max Jowitt raced over before the Panthers pulled one back through Benjamin Tibbs, leaving Trinity with a 22-point cushion at the break.

With the bit between their teeth, it was the home side who came out of the traps stronger in the second period as the home side registered back-to-back tries before the hour mark.

A shift in the Wakefield pack welcomed some of the club’s young guns onto centre stage as Kobe Poching, Isaac Shaw and Patrick O’Donovan entered the field.

Normal service was resumed for the Super League side in the final stages, however, as some neat work from Reece Lyne opened up Shaw to score his first Trinity try.

Lyne, himself, then got in on the act, opening Trinity’s margin even further before Whitbread took Walker’s expertly-weighted pass to touch down and complete a 52-24 victory.

Whitbread will predominately play prop.

Thanks PT . seems ok to me!

I can see why as he’s got the size but it seems a shame as he was the best forward on the pitch today at 13. Wouldn’t blame Poching if he had second thoughts about the 13 spot.

Aydin with another promising display too which only adds to our options at prop.

Liam Hood pick of the bunch for me today. Some crisp passing and we looked much more fluent around the ruck with him on, but the quality dropped when he went off. Whitbread probably pick of the props, but Aydin wasn't far behind. Took the ball in well and stood up to some big hits in the second half. Impressed again with Corey Hall, definitely a player with real potential. Davetanivalu got better as the match went on, with a bit more game time he could be quite a find. Overall a pretty decent outing with almost half a team still to come back.

Was a pretty decent run out, totally dominated first half. Thought hood was excellent but thought the off season has really made Kaye look more like a regular hooker, his passing from the floor was significantly quicker than last season.

Thought miller ran the game until he went off, Shame hall dropped couple potential interceptions as it would have been nice to see how much pace he actually has. John looks like he could be a serious contender on the wing.

Enjoyable afternoon out and am sure grid will have been impressed with the crowd. Be interesting to see both the team and how we perform against fev

I wasnt knocking the team i was mearly saying we controlled the game for 3 quarters of it only time we didnt was when we had a lot of younsters on and more importantly changes where constantly been changed which effects the game.also halifax arnt a bad side and at times they played well
