Lino was announced MOM

Thought the Bulls were poor. Discipline was poor they tried to disrupt the game. Thought the ref was poor and had we had a polished performance we could have had 60 plus but for poor players. That said we looked much better with the whole team putting a shift in

On the whole a good evening.

A decent performance, apart from a few scrappy moments, and I agree, Bradforfd were quite niggly at times.

Thought the official opening and firework display was well presented.

Fire alarms too seem to work OK too, as they went off in the concourse just before 7.30 for a couple of minutes

When we string together an 80 minute performance we will absolutely destroy a team.

Not sure if it’s a concentration issue but we seem content getting in a winning position and then taking our foot off the gas for periods.

Enjoyable night though overall couple of sloppy errors in defence but in reality we were always comfortable.

Lino is so much better as a runner than an organiser, and some of Walmselys effort areas in defence were outstanding but for me Max was MOTM again.

@ricardo07 What's with leaving the 'dis this post' emoji' on my generally positive post, and no comment from yourself?

I've hardly said anything controversial while I'm on my way home. It was much better from us, we needed to cut out the errors especially unforced and we generally should have scored more in the 2nd half.
Lino really did step up for us tonight and deserved his MOTM, especially since he got a lot of stick after the poor performance last week.
Generally, from start to finish, the whole night was great from the fireworks, big attendance, The Big Bopper bar, etc.

What's with the y emoji, what's to dis about it exactly?

Agreed, probably Max was my MOTM then Lino (I’m critical of him so have to praise when he has good games) and Pratt was good.

Thought the forwards put in a real stint too to keep us rolling up field.

I’m not sure why officials seem to be hammering us with penalties. Seemingly for some trivial and minor offences. I’ve noticed a few teams trying to draw us into a niggly game and slowing play down. They’re seemingly allowed to do so and it appears to frustrate the trinity players.

Spot on Avenger.

Great effort by Lino tonight, more of the same please.

Dealt particularly well with Appo running at him. They tried that a few times and Lino took him down each time.

I think we’re going to have to get used to the niggle this season in the championship..
The sides we come up against are going to use any and every advantage they can to try and slow us down..
This will come more to the fore when the grounds harden up and we get to play more open rugby…
Really enjoyed tonight.. off to a cracking start with a statement win..
Great crowd, making a great atmosphere
Really chuffed for Neil Fox tonight also.
Wow… it’s good to be a Wakefield Trinity fan at the moment….

That's the good side of him playing to his abilities but it leaves him open for criticism when he gets away from what he does best.
Fans can see that he's got the ability, they've done previously. He's got these quality halfback games in him if he keeps doing what he does best. Taking on the line, making quality passes, looking for the break and being solid in defence. It's when he gets away from what he's good at, it leaves him so open to criticism.

TBH, I thought Griffin was MOTM.
Great tries and we missed him when he went off for his HIA.

A good team performance tonight, but got drawn in to a niggling scrappy game for periods in the second half. The drive for the posts by Atoni was the springboard to Wakeys supremacy, very reminiscent of Bopper. Gale and Lino partnership was way too good for the Bulls, in both the line breaks and kicking. I think a sign of things to come was scoring the try right on half time, it oozed confidence.

Great night last night, it all just felt so professional.
The East Stand looked amazing, the new Big Bopper bar was great, excellent service and no long queues.
Fireworks were sensational. It truly is the start of a bright new era.
Decent win in front of a big crowd. All in all a superb start to the season.

A fairy tail first game really.
Several contenders for MOM I personally think Lino deserved it - his passing was superb and he shirks nothing in the tackle.
Needs to keep it up.
I can't see another championship team living with our forwards and that's despite lacking Boothroyd and Bain ( does that guy exist?

)
Great start now let's get back to life at the bog at Featherstone next week.....

Do fairies have tails?

I've never seen one that doesn't.

My thoughts exactly.
And don't mind saying it got me in the feels (as the kids say these days

) seeing Neil open the new stand backed by his wife and his great mates.

Great night. Lino showing that, when he’s fired up and confident, he’s still one of the best running halves in the country. And he did a right job on Appo, who gave halfbacks nightmares all last season. Good prep from the coaches. Helps having Griffin outside him, who’s easily a super league-quality player. Atoni, Bowden and Pitts all dominant, and Olpherts did exactly what he’s been brought in to do - play like McGilvary. And loved Hood’s little battle with Hallas.

On the other side, I was quite surprised by how easily Bradford gave away yards, and I don’t know how bookies and pundits are predicting they’ll finish top 3. Not much depth and their goal line defence was appalling.

We should really benefit from a week off, rest any niggles and go to Featherstone with a point to prove.

Good performance last night for a round 1 fixture. It wasn't perfect but definitely something to build on.

Lino was the best player on the field last night, showed that behind a pack that gets on top and gets quick PTB's he's got space to run the game. He had a hand in everything good last night. Griffin back to 2nd row showed extra quality we don't get from him in the centre. Jowitt was also proving that, for me, he's the best full back in the league barring his small lapse in discipline.

Olpherts had a decent enough game and provided yardage we missed against Fev, but his defence did worry me a little bit. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt for now considering he's not played in a long time.

Overall, it's a good start, up the Trin!

What a good night and great to be back on the western terrace with a lot of old friends there who I'd not seen for years. Performance wise I think there's lots more to come, we didn't seem to have the flow and crispness at times but I'm sure the team will improve when the grounds dry out. Massive effort from the club the fans and players, we now have hope

I'm not really sure why Jowitt kicked off.
On the highlights I can't really see that the Bradford player does anything wrong.

Anyone have a better view from North Stand lower section?

What's the new Western Wall like up close?
It looked great from the opposite side but I wondered if some disgruntled away fan could pull it all down or even set fire to it?

to be honest it was too packed to get a decent look at it.

Oops Haha looks like they do now!
