Angelic Cynic is CONSTANTLY one 'pain in the butt' on RLFANS.COM....Don't know what he typed about tonights game (he's on my 'foes' list), but an 'under strength' Wakefield won quite comfortably in the end, after the 15 minute mark. Was is at easy as the score suggests, when they played at Leigh earlier in the season, they started off poorly, but then the scores were level with 3 minutes left, but we scraped a win by 8 points.

'Injuries halted the game during the first 15 minutes with Tupou and Arundel both leaving the field for the Wildcats. Tupou returned later in the half but Arundel left the field using crutches and faces a lengthy injury lay off.'

Think Arundel has been really solid for Trinity at centre and has formed a good partnership with Johnstone. Bill Tupou is still injured although scans are not picking anything up..so will it be Hall and Lynne at centre for upcoming games?

Does anyone know the crowd numbers for last night as the West was empty but the North and East looked pretty healthy

I reckon the Sheffield player who inflicted that 'tackle' on Arundel could be in bother - it looked really nasty from my vantage point; came in from the side when he was already held up, and smashed his knee. He limped off on crutches with a massive ice pack on his knee, and looked in considerable pain. Real shame if that sidelines him - he's hit some good form recently.

That aside, fairly clinical performance given the conditions - old school, against a side that were clearly intent on roughing people up.

Yes it's high time the 'COWARDS TACKLE' was eradicated. There's only one reason why it's done and that's to injure the player it's inflicted on. Plain thuggery and the Sheffield player should get a healthy ban.

Do you have any other examples from the 80 minutes? ( Of a side that were clearly intent on roughing people up )

I didn't have a clear view of the tackle on Arundel and I hope he makes a full recovery.

Didn't we get 4 penalties for punches and that only the ones Ben Thaler saw. Shame really as I thought the majority of the Sheffield players put a lot of effort into the game with some strong runs
