Another fabulous day out watching the boys pick up another trophy….thats all 4 at the same time, not done since 2006. Best thing about it all is that they are going to get better, we are still winning purely by controlling/bossing teams and then producing magic moments. Once we really get going and realise the potential, watch out.

Enjoy this evening everyone. Winning goes in cycles and it’s our cycle at the moment. Finally, what amazing support today. The singing and celebrations in the concourse on level 1 of the west stand after the game was awesome. Special memories for everyone in cherry and white…even the Wembley staff were loving it amd recording on video. :D

I’ve been saying that all day I know it’s a comp just between 2 teams but is still a trophy 🥰 so it’s Five trophys
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

:lol:

When I saw the team, thought we were going for size and experience and it was enough to dominate and grind out the win. No one had a bad game and we had the X factor of French and Field to unlock them.

Was a little worried that Wire's backline was made for the wide open spaces of Wembley but they were well policed and made a few errors as a result.

Thought we were going to be playing 14 after Coopers ridiculous sin bin but then as as bad refs do he evened it up by an equally daft sin bin on the Warrington player.

Very happy and will be having a few shandy’s tonight :D
100% Dufty only went because Cooper walked

True but neither should have walked but to be fair to the ref there were not many more high tackles.
Nothing was going to be a high tackle after those two decisions. To be fair the refs didn't want to be the main talking point and after the offsetting stupid yellows they weren't.

Great win, and we've got way more in the tank that we didn't put on the field IMO. Wire were rubbish and the second half was flat compared to the first. But all four cups in the cabinet is the main thing and I'm more than happy with that. Let's retain them all!

Absolutely that. I said the same to my neighbour at the game; having sent off Cooper, he had no choice but to sin-bin Dufty too. That's where early decisions bite you.

A great team performance.

Good discipline, lack of errors, good game plan.

Cooper in the second half stood out to me and I think Miski did excellent all game.

Great win fantastic weekend. Only bad thing was took grandson on Friday night to watch England god that was dire and no atmosphere. Yesterday he was In awe of the crowds passion and noice loved every minute of the day. Just one final thought do you think big Sam will be counting yesterday as a win too :)

Happy with the win, another cup for the trophy cabinet.
The Cooper sin bin was absolute disgrace, Duftys sin bin was tit for tat. Neither were sin bins!!!
Have to say spectacle of rugby league, don’t think either team did justice.
Defences looked decent on both sides, both attacks looked very disjointed.
Happy for the win, well done boys.
