Looked to be more; more than the 7000 plus that attended the Toulouse game in my estimation.

8/10 performance for me...was good to put last week's debacle behind us, so to come away with that result (and scoreline) was very pleasing
For some strange reason I never usually tend to notice Pitts too much but he was like a man-possessed today, especially in that first half, when he appeared to be absolutely everywhere...m.o.m for me

Agreed!! One tackle in particular quite early on.

8/10?! You are easily please FIL, it was very frustrating to watch for large parts for me, we made a lot of errors today with the ball in hand, at one point we went 4 or 5 sets dropping the ball and to compound it gave away alot of cheap penalties. That said, we was still good enough to put them away by a bit and at times with the ball, looked very good.

On a positive, you could tell the team were motivated to put last week's game behind them and put it right, which is always a positive

Same old, same old for me. Featherstone just not good enough to fully punish us for another atrocious handling performance. We can carry on like that and probably still win the final 9 league games of the season if Powell is satisfied. Come the playoffs give Toulouse that amount of ball and position and we'll all have to relive last weeks debacle.

Much prefer Walmsley at FB and Max at half than playing Kay at half back. Thought our game flowed a lot better, and our passing moves were much improved.

Well I enjoyed it.
I think some have just got used to those early easy wins. Championship isn't an easy league.

Fev are a decent team with ex SL players playing. We made mistakes but also defended them too.

Good win with some very good performances.
We played a big pack when we were a few props down.....in extremely hot weather.
And won easily in the end.

Re: Wakefield Trinity v Featherstone Rovers : Sun Jul 28, 2024 10:07 pm  

Well, what a lovely afternoon.....
Disjointed again, but when we clicked it was good and should have won by more tbh.
Big shout out to Jay Pitts, my MOTM, closely followed by Josh Bowden, who was excellent considering we lost Caleb to injury.
Up the Trin.

Re: Wakefield Trinity v Featherstone Rovers : Sun Jul 28, 2024 10:37 pm  

Agree with most on here. Pitts was very strong in the middle today and was first in the tackle and dominating the opposition.

Happy with the result. Just need to tidy up ball retention a bit but it was back on the horse and an improvement.
