Great effort by Lino tonight, more of the same please.

Dealt particularly well with Appo running at him. They tried that a few times and Lino took him down each time.

I think we’re going to have to get used to the niggle this season in the championship..
The sides we come up against are going to use any and every advantage they can to try and slow us down..
This will come more to the fore when the grounds harden up and we get to play more open rugby…
Really enjoyed tonight.. off to a cracking start with a statement win..
Great crowd, making a great atmosphere
Really chuffed for Neil Fox tonight also.
Wow… it’s good to be a Wakefield Trinity fan at the moment….

That's the good side of him playing to his abilities but it leaves him open for criticism when he gets away from what he does best.
Fans can see that he's got the ability, they've done previously. He's got these quality halfback games in him if he keeps doing what he does best. Taking on the line, making quality passes, looking for the break and being solid in defence. It's when he gets away from what he's good at, it leaves him so open to criticism.

TBH, I thought Griffin was MOTM.
Great tries and we missed him when he went off for his HIA.

A good team performance tonight, but got drawn in to a niggling scrappy game for periods in the second half. The drive for the posts by Atoni was the springboard to Wakeys supremacy, very reminiscent of Bopper. Gale and Lino partnership was way too good for the Bulls, in both the line breaks and kicking. I think a sign of things to come was scoring the try right on half time, it oozed confidence.

Great night last night, it all just felt so professional.
The East Stand looked amazing, the new Big Bopper bar was great, excellent service and no long queues.
Fireworks were sensational. It truly is the start of a bright new era.
Decent win in front of a big crowd. All in all a superb start to the season.

A fairy tail first game really.
Several contenders for MOM I personally think Lino deserved it - his passing was superb and he shirks nothing in the tackle.
Needs to keep it up.
I can't see another championship team living with our forwards and that's despite lacking Boothroyd and Bain ( does that guy exist?

)
Great start now let's get back to life at the bog at Featherstone next week.....

Do fairies have tails?

I've never seen one that doesn't.

My thoughts exactly.
And don't mind saying it got me in the feels (as the kids say these days

) seeing Neil open the new stand backed by his wife and his great mates.

Great night. Lino showing that, when he’s fired up and confident, he’s still one of the best running halves in the country. And he did a right job on Appo, who gave halfbacks nightmares all last season. Good prep from the coaches. Helps having Griffin outside him, who’s easily a super league-quality player. Atoni, Bowden and Pitts all dominant, and Olpherts did exactly what he’s been brought in to do - play like McGilvary. And loved Hood’s little battle with Hallas.

On the other side, I was quite surprised by how easily Bradford gave away yards, and I don’t know how bookies and pundits are predicting they’ll finish top 3. Not much depth and their goal line defence was appalling.

We should really benefit from a week off, rest any niggles and go to Featherstone with a point to prove.
