Dom Young scored a 6 on the ratings I saw - not much he could do though in a Roosters team that was totally dominated mostly in the 1st half by the Panthers
I thought the Roosters right edge defence was pretty solid throughout the game. Time after time Penrith went there and had to come back inside because the defence had read their play, numbered up and kept their shape. It was most often lazy inside defending that got caught out by players who been denied a route out to the edges.

I don’t know all the ins and outs of it like some but I think Wakefield just posted their accounts and they were mightily impressive (for Wakefield). Something along the lines of a decent sized profit, + an asset of £14million and £500k in the bank.
Is there a Trinity fan on here that can be a bit more accurate than me?

Amazing gesture from Matt Ellis and equally superb generosity from the Wakefield Trinity supporters

dom young scores his customary easy touchdown this morning - but lets in 2 tries to his opposite winger the 1st one again in bizarre fashion
A ridiculous assessment of who was at fault for the try’s, Young was no more at fault than anyone else and probably less so than the inside defenders

Shocked and saddened to read of Bills passing!
He was part of the furniture within Sky Sports Rugby League coverage, his enthusiastic love of the game shone through.
RIP Bill
condolences to his family

6 Wakefield trinity players share 86 try’s between them!

But what about Tolouse's performance?
Read my earlier post where I gave nothing but praise to TO for the way they’ve approached and played the game
QuoteAwful performance from Trinity but credit to Toulouse they’ve turned up with their sleeves rolled up and a belief in themselves.
Wakefield have been outplayed in every facet of the game but have also been their own worse enemy’s. Poor discipline, ball control and uncommitted defending have gifted TO all the field position they need to score points.
Ollie Ashall-Bott’s footwork has left defenders grasping thin air and his cut out pass sent the winger in

Against better opposition a number of Wakefield players have shown their age and/or limitations, with only Uele and Doyle showing up well

Embarrassing performance!
Ollie Ashall-Bott has looked like Billy Slater, a try hat trick, 2 cut out passes leading to try’s and a try saving 1 v1 tackle

Toulouse get the score they needed to sow the game up.
TTrintiy have been trying for the mmiracle play wwherever they get in a ddecent osition, more often than not knocking on.
Now we've got the unbeaten in the league tag off our backs we can concentrate on the rest of the season, making sure we hit the ground running come October.
Absolutely right, we’ve had field position with defenders backpedaling and instead of trusting in the next play we’ve thrown some crazy over the shoulder pass that costs us the ball, field position and a scoring opportunity.
No excuses for that kind of rank bad decision making throughout the game!
As you said earlier we have zero creativity in the team and have relied on pack dominance and full time fitness to win games. We’ve needed one maybe even two half backs since the pre season and that’s not hindsight or knee jerk reactions as it’s been said before the season kicked off.

Watson can’t have any complaints, he’s had the backing of the board, money, staff, facilities and he inherited a decent squad. His tenure has been marked by strange decisions, none more so than choosing Jake Bibby over Jake Wardle and pushing the best English Centre in the game, a home grown player out of the club. Matty English is another who would run his blood to water, another home grown player whom Watson seems intent on forcing from the club and there are many others, including the Senior twins and Owen Trout.
The terrible style of play and unacceptable results throughout his 3 years and an inability to recruit top class players left the club with little choice

Neil Fox is a big omission from the statue. He was the record points scorer in a Wembley Final (2 try’s & 7 goals) for many years until a one sided mismatch allowed someone to pip his points tally. He's graced the Wembley field a number of times for both Wakefield Trinity and Great Britain and always scored heavily and played well, winning the Lance Todd Trophy in 62 . Of course he’s the brother of the great Don Fox who arguably has the most iconic Rugby League drama at Wembley if not ever. Then there’s the fact that Neil is the World Record point scorer of all time, a total that will never be surpassed and which was achieved during the 3pt try era.

This is getting a bit ugly now!
I can’t see Sheffield coping with the extra energy that Wakefield Trinity will have in the next 25 minutes
-
Good solid 1st half from Sheffield but 2 errors have been punished by 12 points.
Trinity are dominating but playing too narrow, maybe the plan is to take the energy from Sheffields middles so that they can exploit them late in the game. Personally I’d like to see Wakefield looking for faster play the balls and playing with more width.

Bit unfair that.
They've struggled with troops leaving the field all night.
Mile forward pass from Hurrell for Saints' latest.
Maybe you’re right . . . Cas are awful-ish

Ken Davy doesn’t put £2M a year into the Giants, it closer to a quarter of that!
The £2M figure was a lazy guess by former Wakefield owner Carter and seemed to take root with the Trinity fans but it has no basis in reality.
