Sat 19th Oct: Betfred Championship Grand Final: Wakefield Trinity v Toulouse Olympique KO 7pm

[The Mighty Trin]

Matty Ashurst you beauty

[Gav Wilson]

Great try that

[Just Browny]

Super try. Wakefield look very strong indeed.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Well done Max! What an achievement!

[StandOffHalf]

Congrats to Max Jowitt.

Wakefield playing really well. Toulouse are struggling to get out of their half, and Wakefield are taking their chances.

[OMEGA]

When you consider all the great players that have played our game over the last 140 odd years it is quite amazing that Wakefield Trinity boast the World Record points in a season holder in Max Jowitt and The World Record points in a career holder in Neil Fox!

Considering how much they have been happy to let go, that seemed a soft/dubious penalty.

[gingerjon]

Superb performance from Wakefield - they've got this won before half time.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Wakefield in again! They are making this look so easy!

[moorside roughyed]

McGillivray in there. The atmosphere at Wakey looks electric.

[sentoffagain2]

  Wakefield much stronger and more physical than Toulouse and it looks like a mid table SL side against a top four Championship team.Game over .

[StandOffHalf]

Wakefield look crisp when they get on the front foot and then go wide.

[Hopie]

Toulouse offered nothing in the first half, not much of a contest. 

[StandOffHalf]

22-0 at HT.

Those two late tries mean it's probably game over.

[moorside roughyed]

All Trinity in the first half. Toulouse look to be really struggling.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Was dreading a Fifita type sin binning just before the hooter.

[paulwalker71]

Toulouse look stretched every time it goes wide. 
 

Nice to see McGillvary and Ashurst signing off with tries

[StandOffHalf]

Did the commentator seriously just say that the bat-back off the short kick-off was back, but that it bounced forward?

It doesn't matter if it bounces forward.

A serious lack of awareness of the Laws of the Game, if that is what he meant!

[sentoffagain2]

  If the ball goes back out of the hands on the kick off it should be play on even if it bounces forward.Unless the receiver is in front and then it is offside.

I’m sorry, are we really going with this as a thing? 
I read about this earlier in the week. We’re really saying that the points Max has scored against a group of plumbers, electricians and construction workers who play RL to get holiday money is equivalent to Lewis Jones scoring for GB in international games?

And when tries were 3 points!

Wasn't Lewis Jones playing against plumbers, electricians and construction workers?

Whatever the circumstances, whatever the criteria, ultimately Max Jowitt is the one in the record books.

Armitage impersonating a turnstile!

This doesn't feel like a final
