Betfred Super League Round 12
Wakefield Trinity 72 - 10 Salford Red Devils
A 13 try demolition of financially crippled Salford who have to play a huge number of academy lads and reserves due to the sanctions the RFL have placed on the Red Devils .
There is no mucking about in Rugby League if you fall foul of the financial rules and Salford are paying that price severely .
Football take note , it can be done .
The win moves Trinity back to 6th and in the Play Off spots .
It's a 4.30 PM KO Pass but I've seen it still advertised as 2.30 PM .
The game was put back 2 hours because there's a tribute to the late Rob Burrow to mark the first anniversary of his passing .
It should be a cracking game and a feisty affair against a much improved Rhinos outfit but we've already beaten them at Headingley in Round One and go over there full of confidence ourselves after our recent good run .
Looking forward to a good afternoon on Saturday with some cracking pubs around Headingley pre match , much better than Leeds city centre , pay our respects to the late great Rob Burrow and a feisty West Yorkshire Derby to boot .
That sounds a nice afternoon mi owd. A bet tha can't whack a sesh rarnd Headingley. The looks to be some great looking boozers in close proximity. Never been in any but av worked round those parts many a time over the years and always thought what a cracking whet tha could ev ararnd theear.
Thanks fo heads up on KO time, appreciate it mate. Can't believe it's been a year since passing of Rob Burrow bless him. Am just wondering why Trin aren't at home against Leeds if they've already been to Headingley this season?
We have what they call loop games in Super League Pass to make the fixtures up to 27 with the 12 clubs .
We play Leeds , Castleford , Hull KR , St Helens and Salford 3 times this season , next season we will play 5 other opponents 3 times and it's done on a loop method .
We play Leeds at home in July .
Why they just don't extend Super League to 14 clubs is probably a little too simple for the powers that be in the RFL .
Thanks Pass , should be a really tight , feisty and high quality game on Saturday and well worth tuning in for .
For Trinity to win we are going to have kick well on the last and defend well inside our own 20 metre line because Leeds will put us under the pump .
We have the edge in my opinion in the forwards and we can score from almost anywhere but we've got to keep Leeds offensively as docile as we can .
That big Headingley crowd of theirs can get restless when it isn't going their way and they start going for too much and throwing worldies out to the wings .
And Hull Kingston still keep on improving, which annoys me to say lol.
Surely they will beat Warrington in the Cup final. 🏉

Leeds Rhinos 22 - 18 Wakefield Trinity

Rob Burrow 2024
A privilege to be part of such a special afternoon at Headingley yesterday .
Magnificent game of Rugby League befitting of the little fella whose spirit I dare say got the Rhinos over the line .
Not an afternoon to be disappointed , there are things in life more important and bigger than a sporting result .
God bless you Rob .
Leeds are going through a bit of a good and lucky spell, and they were also very lucky to beat us at Headingley, a few weeks ago.
And by the looks of it, they also scraped it against Wakey.
We however went to France again, and absolutely handed out another codding to Catalans. 😁
