I've said it before about these big reputation Overseas players, while still decent players they just aren't hungry for it anymore. After playing at the top in the NRL they don't seem top be able to replicate it our league especially when they know they won't return to the NRL. They command a an high salary on name alone. Give me a younger hungry NRL reject with everything to prove any-day.

I'm just glad we've got the squad we have.

To be fair Lolohea pretty much setup all of Leeds tries. He is clearly out of shape or carrying an injury but will come good. His passing is class.

Hurrell never really did it in the NRL apart from a few glimpses and I don't see that changing over here anytime soon.

Leeds need a scrum half and fast, another year of poor recruitment from Mr Hetherington but no doubt he will keep his job.

Outstanding performance right across the park that - but special mentions to Broughy and Tupou; I was very critical of the Brough signing, and I'm happy to eat humble pie on that one - he remains the best kicker of the ball in SL history, and one of the best organising hb's - the way he puts his teammates right where they need to be, is just exceptional; and to see his hunger to win *every* involvement he has throughout the game is amazing, given his age and experience. I hope he does more of that, and keeps his temper in check.

Tupou is an outstanding centre - he has that Big Ali skill of stepping through heavy traffic and finding some space - he totally embarrassed Watkins, who'll have nightmares about that game for years.

Lovely stuff - let's hope that signals the mythical 'clicking' of this team, and we get more of the same; if that doesn't teach them how good they can be, I don't know what will.

I think today's edition of League Express should have been sub-titled: "Special Wakefield Trinity Edition". A wealth of Trin associated articles. Even old sourpuss Garry Schofield sings their praises over Friday's game in a lengthy article.

Absolutely great performance and a big win against a Leeds side that had previously showed some promise but looked to be well off the pace. If they can't do better than that at home on their big party night then they are in for a long season.

Toupu was outstanding and it was man versus boys down his edge.

Oh, before I forget - Trent Merrin

Leeds are no mugs. They'll win games. The tries they scored were good.
It's just we were better.
