glad to get that match out the way, really strong finish and really happy with the two points, still think griffin can be a top player just needs a good run in the team, some wanting to ofload way of the mark imo

Thought wakey looked one of the best teams to come to KCOM this year. Looked fast and well organised and if it wasn't for that gift infront of their posts could of well seen the game out. Also when Huby went off round about same time I felt they lost a lot of go forward. In the end a massive win and for once we took advantage of other results instead of blowing it as we quite often seem to do.

Radders said on Humberside Griffin came to him and asked to play reserves at back row last week to work on his defensive frailties. Great attitude.

Good to hear. Like that attitude.

As for tonight.

Scoreline flattered us but when we were allowed to play the ball quicker we had the skill and pace to make it pay against a tiring team.

Loved Sika`s hit on Grix. Bet he is aching tonight.

Forgot Carlos who was great again.

Credit to Radders as the introduction of Bowden, Manu and Watts on 60 mins, made a big difference. Don't think there is a better prop in SL than Watts right now.

Pretty patchy but the triple substitution was what really swung the game our way. Good to get a much needed 2 points

Turning point for me so much strength!

For me the big shift in momentum came with Manu's hit on Grix. The defensive set that followed was a big step up and set the tone for the rest of the match.

Just watched tries and just feel have to mention Shaul's defence frailties.

Watch the first 2 tries for Wakefield and at least one from Cas CC game.

I'm sure when he watches them he will feel he has work to do.

He already has all the assets to be an attacking Super Star and when he gets the D right then we have a new Billy Slater.

Agreed.

He seemed angry with himself when Williams brushed him off with ease.

Has plenty to work on in defence.

Possibly just rest anyone with a slightest knock, give them a week off, and give the fringe players a chance to step up again, which they have done pretty well recently, Im thinking Manu deserves a rest, and probably try keeping mini fresh, massive players for us, I'd like to see Bowden starting again, thought he was very good sunday and deserves a starting spot, maybe bring griffin in for fonua, give him a chance to prove himself, whilst giving the beast a rest, the more players fresh and in form come back end of the season can only be a good thing

Personally I think Bowden is a unsung hero.
