OMEGA

You can still see the inherent skills and abilities though, he ran good lines, positioned himself well for both his try’s especially the 2nd one, looked good in contact, found his front, defended well by getting his footwork right to position his body for collision, wasn’t out of place physically for an 18 year old, he has good size yet still looks athletic, wasn’t overawed by stepping up, he was prepared to work hard and put himself about. He did all of this with a measure of quality that betrays his young age. These are all great signs and bode well for the future or in other words “He looks a good prospect”

Leeds by 16 in a game where Cas were never in it but didnt get blown away

Inside Trinity Episode 14 - Living the Dream

There isn’t under the existing roof but with a new roof the terracing can be renewed all the way to the back and made slightly wider.

Not only that, it would have a matching stand in terms of height and design to the East Stand. It would also create a new concourse behind the North Stand which would no doubt have toilets, new bars, new food outlets and new turn styles giving easier access/exit from the stadium. I haven’t seen confirmation of costs but historically and anecdotally I’ve heard a figure of £3M which is an amazing level of investment especially if your a Wakefield Trinity fan whose used to the clubs previous owners penny pinching or putting the club in unserviceable levels of debt. Matt Ellis has been and is a godsend

It’s the former but forgive me, I overestimated your intelligence

Yeah! And I studied revisionist history back in the day

Bit defensive old lad, people are just offering opinions

This season Warrington 16 v 30 Wakefield Wakefield 40 v 10 Warrington Im not sure how confidently you could back Wire v Trinity in any match at the moment

Seriously, it took me one look to know that was obstruction! what the hell is the commentary team talking about that the VR talked himself into it!

If his eligibility is direct and his desire to play for England is genuine then I’m all for him playing but if his first preference is to play for Australia then I don’t want him! Either way he has to get past some very good players to get selected for England, not that he isn’t good enough, but there are a few very good front row options

let’s see what his stats look like after 80 or 9- matches eh? Young has almost 70 try’s in 80+ games and his ability under the high ball is outstanding. Nawaquanitawase did score an amazing try but he’s still in the honeymoon period in terms of defence and some other parts of his game

I think it’s a tough game to call Warrington will be full of confidence after a good win last week booking them into a Wembley final. Wakefield had their number earlier in the season but have struggled at home whilst they’ve also lost a full first choice pack to injury. Wakefield 26 Vs 22 Warrington in a cracker of an open end to end game

Take a look at Tom Johnstones stats, his carries out of backfield are possibly the best out of all the wingers up for an England shirt, beyond that he’s superb in the air both defensively and on attack. His defensive reads are very good, look back at the Samoa & Tonga series where he saves 2 or 3 certain try’s by turning up to make a tackle or clear up a kick in parts of the field he wouldn’t be expected to get to. For me he’s a certainty if he stays fit all season.

Not even a penalty imo, we can’t go awarding penalties just because it’s a big tackle ffs!

Phenomenal attacking play from Leigh only equallyed by the superb defensive effort to prevent a try

Inside Trinity Episode 13 - A Moment of Magic

68 tries in 80 NRL appearances 2024 Stats. 8th in tackle breaks. 3rd in line breaks. 4th in tries 20 in 22 games (played less games than 2 players above him). As for his defence, yes he could be better but not many couldn’t. Defence is a team activity, especially on the edges. While he’s been at fault for some tries I’m guessing that the poor inside defenders haven’t helped his confidence leading to him getting caught in no man’s land. I don’t hear Roosters fans moaning when he intercepts and goes 90 metres for a try. I think the Roosters have thrown him under a bus to free up money & cap space which may be ‘business’ but it’s an awful way to treat a player! Poor from the Sydney Roosters is that!

Cas fans have gone into meltdown on their forum, I hope McGuire isn’t planning on going to Cas Vegas for a beer any time soon.

Wilkin makes a good point about Fa’atili’s try, he ran 60 metres with the ball but actually came off the dead ball line to take the pass off Corey Hall. What an effort!

It’s CHAOS Fa’atili time !!!

Castleford fans leaving the stadium in droves with 12 minutes of the game still to play

Wakefield are missing so many forwards too, Hamlin Uele, Atoni, Storton, Nikotimo, Rodwell & Doyle. All of whom you’d expect in the first choice 17

Great finish from Lachlan Walmsley, good work on the inside from Lino. We look so much more balanced with two proper halfbacks in the team

Followed by another penalty, a knock on from Trueman, a sloppy pass from Pratt and a lost possession under the posts resulting in Cas getting themselves back in the game
