Great end to the season

Spot on FIL - The defence was faultless throughout the game and our attack wasn't bad either!

If there ever was a night to bring out your A game tonight was the night. Outstanding defense and razor sharp attack. Not one weak link every player played there part and what a wonderful performance . What a great night I've watched them for 60 years and what a great night and I'm eager for some more. Absolutely WOW!!!

8016 Fans crammed into that stadium tonight plus over 25,000 people watched on the Sportsman. It was a cracking game, brilliantly planned during the week with how we would go about our business today and then we executed it to perfection, plus the awesome support won't have done any harm. The guys deserve everything that comes their way, which they started out planning quite vocally for all those months back. It was an incredible journey and achievement from the players, Coach and all the staff and obviously, it wouldn't have happened without Matt and his family.
It could have been so easy for the team to shut down at stages towards the end and go with the fact they thought they were back in SL under IMG, but they haven't taken anything for granted and the way we've gone about this will hold us in great stead for next season hopefully in SL.

Toulouse barely troubled our line, defensively we completely smothered them.
Definitely our best performance of the season, a truly magical night!

Spot on WT, more or less perfect display, great to nil them as well

Nilling them was the icing on the cake!

People have been going on about an 80 minute performance and for me that was it. From minute 1 to minute 80 we were excellent and every single player executed their jobs perfectly. I think our 2 best performaces of the season were in the 2 finals and for me that is a good sign as it shows we turn up when it matters.

I thought Tommy Doyle was absolutely outstanding and my MOM but a speacial mention has to go to Lino who has has plenty of criticism but last night he was fantatstic with the ball and also defensivly.

And the thing is, I don't think Toulouse played badly. They weren't dropping the ball, ran hard and threw it around too.....they just couldn't break us.
Outstanding performance

Lino was especially good defensively. They tried to target him but he kept knocking them back

Just glorious , absolutely glorious , everything just went so well , a fantastic occasion , the atmosphere and an almost perfect performance .


I'm still buzzing this morning .

It was an excellent performance, disappointed with the ref again, for the second week in a row he failed to get a grip of the ruck area. The whole team were excellent but Pitts stood out both in attack and defence last night. Brilliant for Max to hit that record especially with the hammering he took early doors. Jerry what a bloke if only he was 21! See what Wednesday brings but all indications are we in for a great future with our number 1 fan and owner Matt Ellis and his family, we must have the best and most enthusiastic owner in Rugby League by a country mile.

What a great night!
A great team performance, I thought our forwards were magnificent, they absolutely battered Toulouse with some punishing carries and some brutal defence.

How good was that ?
To win any game to nil is superb but, to do it in a Grand Final, against the next best team in the comp is something else.
Every player hit 9/10 and some went beyond and the conversion from the touchline by Jerry was a thing of pure beauty.
A crowd of over 8000 and pretty much all Trinity fans, was another great effort and the atmosphere was the best we've had in a long, long time.

A very special night for all who were lucky enough to be there.

We have even got a mention on the Beeb website but some of the comments on there are unbelievable to say the least.....obviously from Anti-Rugby League fans or disillusioned Cas fans https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-leagu ... o#comments

A lot of credit must go to Daryl, good team selection, great substitutions and perfect tactics.
A Daryl Powell masterclass

Thought Olpherts had a really strong game bringing the ball out and bagged another two scores to add to his total of 27 walk ins this year.



Vagana put in a faultless display replacing Griffin. No dumb penalties nor dropped balls either. The run and ball to Jerry for the try was classy.

Was impressed with Vagana in the second row last night. He can clearly play both there and prop. Be interesting to see which position we train him towards.

Powell has said he sees him as a second row now.....though clearly it's good to have players who are flexible.
I think preseason will help him develop his game and physique a lot.

I must have missed that. I know before game he said Vagana can play second row as option but not that it was how he saw him.

Vagana was very good in the middle at prop and decent in SR but he played well enough yesterday to convince me he could probably make SR his position.

He’s got the frame for both I guess and a couple kilos of muscle will probably take his game to the next level. Very exciting.

There were strong performances all over the park but I gotta say, Olpherts was an absolute machine.
Opinions will differ but he was my mom at the hooter.
Over all, Wakey were right on their metal...all game, Toulouse got smoked, game was won by half time, I don't think I've seen us that motivated to go the extra mile for no reason this season.

Listening to Luke Gale on Radio Leeds,they had a score to settle after the defeat in July. There was the motivation, plus a couple retirees and a few leavers, perfect storm for us
