Terrific performance and a joy to watch.
I think we caught Wakefield on a bad day and we played a blinder. I felt bad for the Wakey fans who stayed until the final hooter, but we've been there plenty of times in the past ourselves.
No idea how the last try was given - shocking decision but I'll take it...!

Yes. Be nice to be awarded a try like that against Saints in the last minute to win the game. What was the touch judge doing?

I think the key thing with this team is whether the passes stick or not. They play the same way in most games - move it a lot, get it wide. When the passes stick we do ok and can defend. When they don’t we end up doing too much defending and concede We can grind a bit - 1st game v Leeds at home, Wigan away in league. But our smaller pack makes that more difficult in most games. Yesterday they stick, hardly any handling errors and that coupled with poor Wakefield defending - gave us the big win I think there's loads in what you said here rub.
Far too many clubs/sides are frightened to death of taking risks mostly because of relegation I think.

One other thought. I bet Joe Burgess wishes he could play opposite Tom Lineham every week 😂
More seriously, it’s great to see Budgie starting to show what he can do, been some outstanding performances this year

Record-breaking win. Can't really argue with that.
Hopefully can carry that form into next week.
All played well, but hats-off to Croft, Burgess, Cross, and Lafai. Edges were in a different league, and if Wakey don't wake-up, they might very well be...

No idea how the last try was given - shocking decision but I'll take it...! I Spoke to a Few Wakefield Fans just after Full Time, They stayed right to the end as they'd come down on the Supporters coach A few others had left shortly after the Start of the Second half to go to the Barley Farm to begin drowning their Sorrows. |

They will have learned a lot Kreuz as we were a brilliant example of Rowleyball. Best team in the League to watch when attacking. A credit to Paul & his coaching staff. |

The French grow up eating better than we do on the whole. When they have a burger it's usually not the umpteenth for that week.
