I said in an earlier post that it shows how far we've come in the last 18 months when I'm gutted that we didn't turn over the second best team in Super League last season .
However what struck me more than anything was just how as a club we look the real deal going forward , it felt on Thursday evening that we are a big Rugby League club ready to compete at the highest level in the comp .
I don't mean that in an entitled Rhinos way , I mean that we will compete for the silverware but with our own unique identity and I can see the club growing even more whilst retaining that unique identity we have .
I believe we have one of the most iconic sporting names in British sport , you could dispense with Wakefield and still everyone would know who Trinity are and what sport we play .
With our original founding membership of the Rugby League , our history , Belle Vue and are iconic name we are hugely marketable in the modern era who sit right in the heart of Rugby League land .
Whether we like IMG or not and it's controversial there's no doubt that we are also testament to it given the huge improvements at the club off the field .
This club is going places and you know what , the vast majority of us believe it is rather than simply hope as in the past .
