When I saw Gale and Lino etc out, I honestly thought it would be a straight forward win for Wigan.

The guts on display from you guys was incredible.

Keep getting behind your team and good luck for the rest of the year.

Guts, I think that's the right word, looking at the two teams no way should we be winning that game. Wigan had the quality, Trinity had the guts. Dagger is a cold as ice at crucial times and although like many I was annoyed we lost Hall, we would not have won any of the games without his contribution.

What the catalyst is I don't know, Fifita, the coach finally get his team playing something like, but that was the Wakefield of old. Instead of whimpering out of SL we're now given it a good go.

Where that has been all season I have no idea. Confidence plays a massive role in sport but the turn around is nothing short of remarkable. We were dead and buried with no hope. I'd given up. Now. Rightly or wrongly I have hope.

Can I just put a word for Kay putting 100% in were ever he plays.Had a great game last night ,along with a lot more, especially the pack All forwards running in hard and tackling hard .gaining meters for fun..We have started to pass the ball a meter infront of the player receiving the ball ,so they can run on to it at speed ,instead of at them .Were as that come from .? Not seen it in first 15 games .

Wigan have pace to burn but lack direction by trying to fit 2 square pegs into a round hole in Field and French and they desperately need to sort that out.

Mash got his tactic spot on and dragged them into that dog fight and Wigan faded under the pressure. It was a great team performance and a huge result.

I’ve bagged Atoni all year but credit where it is due he’s like a new signing. The pick up and pass to set up the try from the Field error under the high ball was sublime.

Dagger for me though could be the signing of the season, regardless of how he came to us.

He is a threat with ball in hand, has pace and his kicking out of hand off the tee and obviously with the drop goal was vital.

When it got to Golden Point I feared for the inevitable, our success rate with Golden Point isn't great ... but what a
win, the fighting spirit is wonderful to see (finally). Momentum is with us, let's keep that going next week.
We aren't safe by a long shot, but we are giving it a bloody good go!

I believe enquiries were made about Thornley by Wakefield a few months ago.

He certainly did us a few favours last night even though he wasn’t wearing our colours.

The drop to set up the position for the winning field goal was the icing on the cake though.

Where on earth to start with this one.
We'd been drifting with the bookies handicap all week and clearly, thet, like many of the fans (me included) had written us off.
What a performance, wow. Pinged by the man in pink for every minor indiscretion early on and it looked like it may be a long night but, step forward the Trinity pack, who bossed the middle all night.
Dagger was superb, absolutely superb and is rapidly becoming our player of the season (humble pie moment)..
Fifita was a colossus and whatever he has done with Atoni (and others) needs bottling and selling or a fortune !

Every player, to a man, stood up and was counted and to come back from 20 -12 against a full strength title chasing Wigan side, with a patched up, injury ravaged side, to tie the game with an 80th minute penalty and then take the game in golden point, THIS is why we suffer the many, many downs.

One of THE most memorable performances in our 150 years.

Well done boys and to the coaching staff too. Lets back it up next week at Shudds

There is now light at the end of what has been a very long and dark tunnel.
