Easy.

Apart from the first 15 minutes in the 2nd half!

Keith Mason was awesome today. A close toss up between him & Faiumu for MoM. He must have played well over 60 minutes. After a quiet few weeks [for him], he's back as my player of the season.

Eorl was also outstanding.

Special mention to Hodgson D, whilst nowhere near perfect, he did perform better than of late. He chased back & saved a certain try [Eorl was the only other player to get fully back] and then skillfully scored a try in the corner [after good work by Bruno].

OF the 2 'swapped' players, I know now who's got the better of the deal! Whilst not necessarily giving Scully a contract for next season [yet], he ran hard and often passed the ball in the tackle.

And Stephen Wild. Mr consistency himself.

Well done to the team.

3rd - and the best defence in SL.

A veryfunny moment for me, apart from seeing the wakefield fans leaving early, was when Jacko had the ball passed to him so low he could not reach it, so he volleyed the ball up in the air and caught it - pure class!

I'm glad we won but I have to say that was one of the (if not THE) worse refereeing performances I have seen! Wakefield were constantly offside (Danny Brough was offside ALL game), the play the ball was slow and several key decisions for both sides were wrong.

I think you are right, Bentham made some mad decisions, perhaps the sun got to his bald head. Maybe he needs to wear a bandanna next time!

Enjoyed it today!

Thought the final scoreline slightly flattered you, but you did just edge it with being more clinical in the final third. Thought we bombed two or three really good chances at crucial times which could have made a difference to the outcome of the game.

Thought Bentham was awful overall, seemingly giving everything against us in the first twenty minutes of the game, then turning the tables in the first twenty minutes of the second half and giving us everything, pathetic overall though and totally clueless at times.

Thought the battle in the forwards was great to watch, some monster hits going in from both sides, Ferguson on Mason for us was an absolute bone-cruncher! Thought Eorl was a real menace for you and caused us problems, but another great hit from Latu seemed to take a bit out of him and he did make a couple of mistakes after.

The Sulthorpe/Korki thing is a funny one. It seems all parties are happier with what they've got now, totally different players but as I say both seem to be right for who they are now playing for.

I agree, your guys gave everything and didn't deserve to have such a scoreline. It was a close hard game in hot conditions. Both sets of players served up some quality rugby and your right there were some big hits going in.
