A very firm hand-off from Sam Wood, there. Went right through Tom Johnstone without a run-up.

Johnstone makes amends with a try of his own.

[Old Frightful]

Ben Jones Bishop intercepts and does a remarkable impression of someone on a treadmill...

I find your point almost offensive. These are Pro RL players reduced to mindless casual labour by your reckoning.  I disagree. 

I’m not sure Eddie meant that. If there was relegation this season it wouldn’t need a newspaper article to galvanise Wakefield.

Exactly that.

Good entertainment though, better than a boring arm-wrestle where each team is more concerned about not losing rather than winning

True, it’s been an okay enough game but my point is it doesn’t really matter who wins, neither team can go down and (realistically) neither can make the top 4.

I'd say that it's making for a purposely more open game though, especially Wakey. With nothing to lose, both teams are throwing it around more than I can recall

[Futtocks]

BJB's effort sent up as a try... NO! Harsh.

[Man of Kent]

Chuffed for Wakey 

[Man of Kent]

That would’ve been almost cruel if chalked off.

[Futtocks]

Now TJ's effort sent to the VR... TRY!

Wakefield lead with 5 minutes to play.

Me too! Shown plenty of guts tonight.

Only remembered that this was on when my phone pinged wanting me to vote for MOM.  What time did it kick off for the game to still be being played at 10.30?

[OMEGA]

Huge efforts by the Wakefield players, they’ve won this through enthusiasm, desire and effort!

The first game of the evening was delayed by an hour, due to traffic problems.

[Man of Kent]

Shows that Wakefield are a perfectly competitive side when they can be truly arsed. As Eddie suggests, they’ve been a good advert for P&R.  

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

YES!!!!

[Futtocks]

Pretty enjoyable game.

[Clogiron]

Turned out to be a good contest in the end. Did Sezer stay in the dressing room at half-time? Wakey need all their player's to be on the top of their game to be competitive and at times such as Fifita don't look to be there. Johnstone looks like a player who has suffered 3 major injuries, the spark that made him a standout doesn't look to be there anymore he isn't the first to suffer that, it's the nature of a  physical contact sport. Huddersfield appear to have been a flash in the pan, too reliant on Sezer to provide the spark.

[Curly perm]

Thank Christ. So happy we got the try at the end because the Kyle Wood offside would’ve been a real sickener (despite it being right by the rules!). Gave it their all. 

[Morris Wanchuk]

Great effort from the Wakey lads tonight, however one swallow doesn’t make a summer, back it up on Sunday please! 

 

 

[Wakey Til I Die]

A deserved win, have to ask where that effort is week in week out. Still, now to beat Hull KR and get off the bottom. 

[WakefieldCityLoyal]

Good performance, deserved win.

 Up the Trin 

[Clogiron]

Wakey V KR the game of the season I would suggest.

How do you work that out, they wouldn't have bothered tonight since there is no P&R, they bothered because it meant something WITHOUT P&R.
