Salford's non-performance in the first half killed the game as a spectacle, but Trinity still had a job to do and went about it in a professional manner.

The contest improved in the second, Trinity opened up, bombed a few chances and Salford couldn't have played worse. Solid performance from 1 to 17. Obst took over Brough's mantle comfortably. He plays like that for the rest of the season Trinity won't miss Brough too much.

I'm a little concerned about the attendance. Sub 5k on a perfect day to watch RL.

How did Cooke play?

I thought he looked OK and shows touches of class now and agin especially with the long kick which bisects the defence every time.

Came on just before half time and played the rest of the game.

He took ball up well, Kicking game was spot on and will complement sams too, not upto speed with moves plays (but thats to be expected) good handling looked to be organising the attack at times.

Pretty pleasing debut tbh.

Obst and Morrison outstanding behind a very dominant pack!

After a blistering start it was always gonna be tougher 2nd half as Salford were never gonna be as bad as they were 1st half.

Cooke came on when the game was already won, a couple of nice kicks, but rusty overall and probably glad to get that gametime.

All in all a pleasing afternoon's work...

Happy with result. Agree with upthecats about Cooke looking a little rusty although kicking game looked very good. Gledhill made another impressive contribution and the forwards overall were very dominant. I think Sam may need to work on his goalkicks though.

I'll take DULL every home game this season Ta

Really???

Really glad we played Salford and we had time to introduce Cooke.

Yes if we win 36 - 6 every home game.

with you there mate
Ive been to far too many exciting games over the years, get em won by half time for me every time!

A little harsh IMO - the first time he kicked a goal was last season against Hull KR IIRC, has he ever been a goal-kicker at any club? He's suddenly found himself in the position where he is the number one choice, but I expect Cooke to take that role very soon.

Having said that, he will still be second choice and so could do with a little extra training just in case - he could be a pretty good kicker.

Just thinking of the old ticker and some of the games we've won and lost

over the years.

for me its just that these types of games have been our downfall too many times over the years, today we did the job well.

Has not B.J kicked goals for us before?

Paul cooke will be the back up kicker when this new player arrives.

Really pleased today apart from an absolutely shocking turn out....come on people of wakefield!...or come on Trinity and lower the prices!

I thought it was more clinical than dull, you snuff teams out within the first twenty mins the game just flows,

there not a strong side in the league but started to throw the ball about more in the second half, their first half was litter with penalties it wasn't our fault if they was undisciplined

what a steaming pile of dog crap that Salford team are. I can say without any doubt they are the single worst team in SL history, up there with Leigh when they played SL.

Hey we have moves...how we have moved on from those days of one man drives

Also worthy of mention is that we went 100 mins without conceding a point. Not bad going.

cook will be a good signing if we can keep the bar shut ha ha

It's definitely an improvement from when you conceded 52 points in 80mins against us

Ok, a few weeks have passed since then, i know it was your cup final

but please don't have to remind us



=#FFFFFFExpects replies of challenge cup final, our trolls and i'll do what i like.

tbh brough was the guy who missed most tackles against the giants and that problem has been addressed now.
