It’s quite simple really...for too long a periods over the season we’ve missed too much quality through injuries and it’s hurt is badly...we were in a real slump and I’d say only the late additions of Escare, Green and Tangata gave the squad the shot in the arm it needed...otherwise we may well have been the ones going down tonight!

I thought we were excellent value for the win tonight...started with real intent defensively...countless times getting 3 or 4 men in the tackle and driving London back...on the whole we completed sets really well, made few errors and gave few penalties away...

All those saying Brough should have been dropped and panicking over Abdul’s bombs....well...if that wasn’t a kicking masterclass from Brough I don’t know what is...a superb performance and just shows when our pack get on top Brough still is capable of quality performances.

Thought Kelepi was outstanding too...what a signing he’s been...just a shame the timing of his arrival saw us depleted and struggling...can’t wait to see him next year in a pack with the likes of Fifita, Ashurst and Arona back in...let’s all pray next season is a bit kinder on the injury front and we can kick on with improving our ground!

Brough was excellent last night, and like I've said on here I had no problems with the way he was playing before he got injured. But next year he's another year older, and it's unrealistic to expect him to perform week in week out. If all our major players are injury free next year, 'success' could well depend on who plays scrum half for the majority of games, because if Hampshire goes, we have to sign someone better than Reynolds.......

Excellent defensive effort. Gritty win, brough tormenting with the boot, exactly why we brought him in. Kelepi collosal, absolutely outstanding. Note to club get Eddie Battye signed up quality forward.

Spot on....I said the same at the match last night....quality forward who I would be happy to see in our team

:D Excellent performance last night, with Trinity deserved winners but, games like this are always tempered with a thought for the opposition.
London have been great value this season and at the start of the year, some were even predicting that they may not win a game and as Trinity fans, we know that they did rather better than that.
The 400 mile round trip on a Friday evening (well afternoon really) is a great effort from their fans, especially when they were expecting to face the drop and to fail on points difference is mighty unlucky.
Looking forward to next season, it would be great if we could secure Escare, Green and Tangata, who have all made a great impact since coming in and if we can have some better luck with injuries (understatement) hopefully we can be looking up, rather than down next season.

Glad that we've kept our place in the top flight but, equally glad that the season is done. It's been hard going at times this year.

Roll on 2020 and lets hope that Salford spring a surprise in the play offs

Agreed.
Went on the pitch at the end and to be honest, went to console the London players and staff.
They have been a credit to Super League.

I bet the London players and staff were glad and genuinely made up to have your admiration. Dont you think they should be spending that time going over to there own supporters, you know the people who will be genuinely upset that they have been relegated.

That's the way I see it too.
Maybe even bring their family on to share the experience while all the fans can see all the players from the terrace.

What I don't understand is that the people running on and especially the flare thrower pay to watch Wakefield and I assume want the best for Wakefield, but when the club says how they want to do it and warn about potential fines from RFL, or how it will be perceived by current and prospective supports that will take us to the next level, they just ignore it.

Carter was perfectly right when he said we'll get the club we deserve.
It's no big deal, no one was hurt...... But it's just another chip on an already well chipped club.

Not for me. Possibly signing three players from a relegated team is a bit much.

Theyre good players though,if we dropped we'd lose 12-15 & only on points difference in end. If we were signing players from KR or hudds I'd be more worried.

Are they good or is it down to the coaching .The London or Salford coach should be coach of the year
